Optical fiber (LWL) - module

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In all MOST control units, at least one sending diode and one receiver diode are installed. The sending diode of a MOST device is connected to a receiver diode of a 2nd MOST device. This results in a ring where the light signal is reinforced in each control unit (in each control unit, the light signal is transformed into an electrical signal).

The graphic clarifies the cabling of the individual MOST control units which vary according to their equipment.
