CONFIGURING THE D2B RING
1. Vehicles delivered from the factory may have active fibers (e.g. optical amplifier and/or factory installed CD), inactive fibers (e.g. no amplifier or
accessories installed), or no fibers Vehicles will vary in accordance with equipment installed. Some vehicles will have all required fibers installed
while others will contain additional fiber links in the accessory kit(s). Refer to the respective accessory reference for fiber location information.
2. To remove/install components the D2B ring must be 'broken' and the appropriate adjustments made to the configuration. One or all of the
following optical connector styles may be present.
Figure 2
a) In-Line Coupler (Figure 2) Disassemble by gently prying up, from the side of the clip closest to the connector, one or both of the metal spring
clips on either side of the connector.
Figure 3
b) 90-degree angle connector (Figure 3) Disassemble by gently separating the two plastic housing halves.
c) Straight connector (not shown: similar to Figure 3, but straight) Disassemble by gently separating the two plastic housing halves.
3. Exercise extreme care when disassembling connectors and handling fibers to ensure that no fiber ends are damaged. Fiber end damage will result
in light loss that may lead to intermittent D2B ring operation and/or failure.
4. The 02B ring configuration steps vary in accordance with the vehicle's equipment level and necessity to add or remove. Use the following
illustrations as guides in determining how to configure the D2B ring:
