Wabco 4497230400 Cable with Socket

Description

The Wabco 4497230400 Cable with Socket is a crucial component within trailer air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronic Braking System) applications. This cable connects a sensor to the EBS system, facilitating communication and ensuring optimal braking performance. It features a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and a Code A 4-pin connector on the other, ensuring compatibility with standard trailer EBS setups. With dimensions of 27 x 329 x 365 mm, this cable is engineered to OE specification and delivers a reliable and durable connection that contributes to enhanced safety and system efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically transmits the electronic signals between your Electronic Braking System’s components—things like your ABS module, wheel speed sensors, and even the brake control unit itself. It carries data, not the actual braking force, so think of it like the nervous system for your air brakes. It’s got the cable itself, obviously, and then that socket end—that’s how it plugs into one of the EBS components, completing the circuit. It’s a vital part of your air brake system's electronic side. Modern trucks and trailers rely heavily on these systems for stability and control. This cable specifically connects one of those components to the main EBS network, allowing everything to communicate. It’s not a standalone thing; it works with all the other sensors and modules. You'll typically find these running along the chassis, connecting the various sensors to the central control unit.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a functioning EBS cable, that sensor won’t be able to ‘tell’ the system what’s going on. Imagine one of your wheel speed sensors can’t send data—the ABS won’t know if a wheel is locking up, and you lose that critical safety feature. This cable acts like a shield protecting the signal from interference. A damaged or corroded cable can cause all sorts of problems—ABS lights, intermittent braking issues, or even a complete failure of the system. You’ll notice if one of these goes bad usually because of warning lights on your dash, or the ABS system just won’t engage when you need it. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and having a good quality cable is really important to keep everything running smoothly and safely.
