MOST Bus Ring Fibre Optic Extension Cable - 5m
Description
The 5 m MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) fibre optic extension cable is a high-grade
automotive optical cable engineered for audio and multimedia network integration. Designed for vehicles equipped with MOST
optical bus networks - including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Land Rover, and Volvo - this cable allows seamless signal
transmission between control units across the vehicle.
Featuring a modular outer connector housing, the large shell can be easily detached when mounting space is restricted or when connecting directly into smaller MOST optical sockets behind dashboard head units and multimedia modules.
Technical Specifications:
- Cable Type: Automotive MOST Bus Fibre Optic Extension Cable
- Length: 5 m (500 cm) approx.
- Connector Type: MOST male optical connectors on both ends
- Housing Feature: Modular detachable outer shell for compact fitments
- Core Material: High-efficiency Polymer Optical Fibre (POF)
- Jacket Protection: Flexible and durable protective outer sheath
- Minimum bend radius: 5 cm
Suggested Uses & Applications:
- Aftermarket Head Unit Integration: Running a new optical signal path from a front dashboard aftermarket head unit or optical decoder to an original Audio Gateway (AGW) tuner or factory amplifier located in the boot.
- Bypassing Faulty Network Modules: Replacing or extending optical runs to bypass damaged or non-responsive components (such as CD changers, navigation units, Bluetooth modules, or TV tuners) to restore network loop continuity.
- Diagnostic & Fault Finding: Testing MOST loop signal integrity and isolating open-circuit faults in European vehicle infotainment systems.
- Custom Audio Modifications: Rerouting optical bus cabling when retrofitting custom sound processors, aftermarket amplifiers, or digital audio interfaces.
Installation Tip:
If installing in tight spaces behind dashboard units, gently release the outer locking tab to detach the secondary housing shell. This converts the assembly into a slimline optical connector suited for compact factory sockets.
