Installing Optical Contacts On Socket Side

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Porsche Cayenne, 2009 Porsche Cayenne, and 2008 Porsche Cayenne. 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 ftlb.) the springs installed in the joint will be pressed together. This leads to an increase in attenuation, which could lead to system impairment and system failure. Therefore, a maximum of 10 N (7.5 ftlb.) can be used to pull the LWL from the joint.

Insert optical contact -B- in the module until it perceptibly engages, then check the optical contact is securely fitted.
