Wabco 4497230500 Cable

Description

This Wabco cable is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronic Braking System) applications. It facilitates the connection between sensors and the EBS control unit, ensuring reliable communication for optimal braking performance. This cable features a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and a Code A 4-pin connector on the other. Measuring 38 x 324 x 380 mm, it adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and consistent functionality. It is manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliable signal transmission within the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

These cables are basically the communication lines for your air brakes. They carry the electrical signals between the Electronic Control Unit – that’s the brain of the system – and the various components like the ABS modulator, the brake sensors at each wheel, and sometimes even the trailer ABS if you’re hauling something. They transmit data about wheel speed, brake pressure, and system status, telling everything what to do. Think of it like this – your air brakes are the muscles, but this cable is the nerves. It’s how the “brain” tells those muscles when and how hard to squeeze. It’s a key piece of the larger ABS and stability control system, ensuring everything works together smoothly and safely. It's usually found running along the frame rails, protected as much as possible, but still exposed to road grime and vibration.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These cables are critical for safety. If one fails, you’ll likely see an ABS light come on, and the system might revert to a basic braking mode, losing a lot of the advanced features like traction control and automatic brake adjustment. You’ll notice if one goes bad because your brakes won't respond as quickly or effectively, especially in slippery conditions. It acts like a shield against uncontrolled skids. If you're needing to replace one, it's best to do it sooner rather than later. We actually carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s a part you don’t want to skimp on – getting a quality replacement is really important for keeping your vehicle safe and reliable.
