Wabco 4492730600 ABS Socket Cable

Description

The Wabco 4492730600 ABS Socket Cable is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronic Braking System) applications on trailers. This cable connects the drawbar to the trailer's EBS, ensuring reliable communication for braking functions. It features a 7-pin ISO 7638 connector on one end and a Code A 8-pin connector on the other. The cable's robust construction and OE specification guarantee a secure and consistent connection, contributing to enhanced braking performance and safety. Dimensions are 71 x 357 x 343 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically connects the ABS modulator – that’s the heart of your anti – lock braking system – to the wheel speed sensors. Those sensors are on each wheel and they’re constantly sending signals about how fast the wheels are turning. The cable carries those signals to the ABS modulator, and then the modulator sends commands back through the cable to control the brakes individually if it detects a wheel starting to lock up. It’s a two – way street for information. Think of it as a crucial part of your safety net. The ABS system’s whole job is to prevent wheel lockup during braking, and this cable is a key link in making that happen. Without a good connection, the system can’t “see” what the wheels are doing, and therefore can’t react properly. It's part of the Electronic Braking System – EBS – and all those components work together.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this cable gets damaged – corrosion, a broken wire, a bad connector – it messes with the ABS system’s ability to function. You might get an ABS warning light on your dash, or even worse, the ABS system might not activate when you need it most. You’ll notice if you’re getting intermittent ABS issues, or if the light stays on constantly. Getting this sorted out is important for maintaining your stopping power and keeping you safe on the road. You can find these fairly easily, and places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection. It's a relatively small part, but it plays a big role.
