Installing Optical Contacts On Socket Side

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the dust boot right before plugging.

Check the proper condition of the contact.

At a force of 10 N (7.5 lb.) the springs installed in the connection point will be compressed. This leads to an increase in attenuation, which could lead to system impairment and system failure. Therefore a maximum force of 10 N (7.5 lb.) may be used to pull on optical waveguides at connection points.

Insert optical contact -B- into the optical waveguide module until it is felt to engage, and check the optical contact is seated securely.
