Wabco 4491331500 ABS Socket Cable

Description

The ABS Socket Cable, manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4491331500, is a crucial component within trailer brake controls, specifically for air brake systems. This cable is designed for use with T EBS applications and features a 7-pin ISO 7638 socket on one end and a 7-pin coupling connector on the other, serving as a power supply line for 24V systems. Measuring 83 x 362 x 399 mm, this device meets OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and seamless integration within existing air brake infrastructure. It offers a durable and efficient solution for connecting trailer ABS systems, contributing to enhanced braking performance and overall safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically delivers the electrical signal from your tractor’s ABS system to the ABS module on your trailer. It carries information about wheel speed and allows the systems to talk to each other, coordinating the brakes. It's a pretty straightforward connector, but vital for everything working right. Think of it as a messenger. Your tractor’s ABS knows what’s happening with its wheels, and this cable tells the trailer’s ABS what’s going on so they can both work together to prevent lockup during braking. It’s part of the larger anti – lock braking system, connecting the ‘brain’ on the truck to the ‘brain’ on the trailer. It’s typically found near the trailer connection, where the electrical hookups are.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without this cable working correctly, the trailer's ABS won’t function properly—or at all. You’ll notice if it's bad because your ABS warning light on the tractor will likely stay on, and your trailer brakes might not respond as they should during hard braking. That’s a safety issue, plain and simple. It acts like a shield against skids, especially in slippery conditions, and if that connection is broken, you're losing a key part of that protection. You can find these pretty easily – a place like Fixparts Online often has them in stock if you're looking to replace one.
