Most Fiber Optic Extension Cable Pof - 500mm Long - Mercedes Bmw Porsche Audi Vw on 2040-parts.com

Here we have for sale our 500mm long M.O.S.T fiber optic POF Polymer (or Plastic) Optical Fiber extension cable with brass ferrule ends suitable for use in automotive MOST fiber optic rings to control audio/visual equipment. We can also supply the following cable lengths: 250mm, 750mm, 1000mm, 1500mm, 2000mm and 4000mm, please see our other listings for other cable lengths or contact us for bespoke requirements. Our high quality cables are manufactured to exacting standards under strict Quality Assurance procedures. Please be aware that some fibre optic cables originating from the Far East are inferior in quality and the ferrule ends are not fusion welded. This may result in data being 'dropped' on the fibre optic ring causing spurious faults. 

European vehicle manufacturers including Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volkswagen interconnect the audio/visual equipment within their vehicles using a M.O.S.T (Media Orientated Systems Transport) fiber optic ring. We have been advised that other vehicle manufacturers also use the M.O.S.T ring with Tyco (TE) connectors including Aston Martin, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, General Motors, Hyundai and Kia. We can see no reason why this extension cable should not also be fully compatible with these vehicles.

The common modules connected on a vehicle M.O.S.T ring are: CD Changer, Video Display, GPS Navigation, Mobile Phone, Voice Recognition, Amplifier and Digital/FM/AM Tuner.

If you wish to repair, adapt or extend an automotive fiber optic ring (i.e. to add an additional module to the ring) you will require additional fiber optic cables with ferrule end connectors to repair, extend or modify the existing M.O.S.T ring while maintaining the integrity of the ring. We can also supply at extra cost Tyco (TE) male connectors, Tyco (TE) female connectors and Tyco (TE) in-line connectors to extend the ring or bypass a faulty section of the ring. Please ask for further details.

Vehicle M.O.S.T rings include a male Tyco connector at each module location which plugs into the back of the modules.  This male connector has a fibre optic "in" and "out" cable forming a fiber optic ring linking all the modules together with the head unit.

A typical application for the use of this cable is to extend the existing fiber optic ring to add a module to the ring i.e. a CD changer or to bypass a faulty section of the ring. The existing fiber optic ring cable and our new extension cable can be joined by our Tyco in-line connector (which we can supply at extra cost). This connector will correctly align the two ends of the fiber optic cables to ensure no data loss or corruption at the joint. Please note that your vehicle may need to be 'programmed' to recognise any new modules fitted.

For further background information we have included links to the manufacturer's drawings for the male Tyco connector, Tyco cable terminator and female Tyco connector so that you can ensure compatibility with the type of MOST fiber optic ring and connectors fitted in your vehicle.
