Wabco 4497140280 Cable Socket with Cable

Description

The Cable Socket with Cable is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically EBS Cables. It functions as the connection point for sensors within an ABS system, ensuring reliable communication for optimal braking performance. This socket is designed for motor vehicle applications and meets OE specifications. Measuring 25 x 339 x 366 mm, this Wabco product, MPN 4497140280, provides a robust and dependable connection. The socket's design ensures consistent signal transmission, contributing to enhanced brake system responsiveness and overall vehicle safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable and socket basically handle the electrical communication between your EBS (Electronic Braking System) control module and the brake modulator on the axle. It sends signals back and forth – things like how much braking force is needed at each wheel, ABS activation, stability control stuff… all that modern brake wizardry. It’s a complete assembly, so you’re getting the cable itself and the connector that plugs into the modulator. Think of it as one of the nerves in your truck's braking system. The EBS control unit is the brain, the modulator is the muscle, and this cable is how the brain tells the muscle what to do. It's part of the larger air brake system, of course, but this specific piece handles the electronic commands that control the air brakes. It allows the system to intelligently apply braking force to each wheel, improving safety and control.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good connection here, the EBS can’t function properly. You'll notice if it’s going bad, usually. You might get ABS warning lights on your dash, or the ABS system might not activate when you need it. In really bad cases, it could lead to uneven braking, or the system shutting down completely. It's a crucial piece for maintaining safe and reliable braking. A failing cable can cause intermittent problems that are really hard to diagnose, so it’s best to replace it when you suspect an issue. You can find these pretty easily – places like Fixparts Online usually stock them, and it’s worth getting a new one rather than trying to patch up an old, corroded cable.
