Wabco 4497120380 Connector Cable

Description

This Wabco 4497120380 connector cable is designed for use in air brake systems, specifically as an EBS cable for ABS applications. It connects sensors within the system, utilizing a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and a 2-pin sensor socket on the other. This cable meets OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its dimensions are 22 x 355 x 365 mm, providing a compact yet durable connection.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically handles communication between all the different components of your Electronic Braking System. Think of it like the nervous system for your brakes. It transmits data—things like wheel speed, brake pressure, and system status—between the ABS modulator, the ECU (that's the electronic control unit, basically the brain), and all the wheel speed sensors. It’s a multi – wire cable, so it’s carrying a lot of information at once. It’s a vital part of the entire air brake setup, obviously. Modern trucks and trailers rely heavily on these electronic systems for stability and control. Without a functioning EBS cable, those systems can’t “talk” to each other. It’s not a part you see doing anything, but it’s constantly working in the background to make sure everything is safe and coordinated. It connects everything, letting the computer monitor and adjust braking on each wheel individually.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this cable fails, you’ll likely get warning lights on your dash, and the EBS system will probably go into a limited function mode. You’ll notice if you lose ABS functionality, or if your trailer brakes aren’t responding right. It’s a safety issue, plain and simple. A damaged or corroded cable can cause intermittent signals or even a complete loss of communication, which could affect stopping distance and vehicle control. You can find replacements easily enough, places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection, and it's a relatively straightforward repair if you’re comfortable working with electrical connections. Ignoring this type of issue can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road, and more importantly, it's a safety concern.
