Wabco 1835210214 4-Position Extension Cable 5000mm

Description

The Wabco 1835210214 is a 4-position extension cable, designed for use in trailer brake controls within air brake systems. This cable extends the connection between the tractor and trailer, ensuring reliable communication for braking functions. The cable's OE specification guarantees compatibility and performance, providing a robust and dependable connection for critical braking systems. Its dimensions are 34 x 260 x 260 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically extends the connection between your tow vehicle and the trailer’s electric brakes. It has four positions, meaning it handles the main functions – running lights, left turn signal/brake, right turn signal/brake, and then the trailer brake signal itself. It transmits those electrical signals so the trailer brakes work correctly with yours. Think of it like a messenger. Your brake pedal tells the controller in your truck to send a signal to the trailer brakes, telling them to activate. This extension cable is just the wire that carries that message. It’s absolutely essential if you need a longer reach between your vehicle and the trailer – say if you have a longer tongue on the trailer, or a specific hitch setup. It plugs into the connector on your vehicle and runs to the connector on the trailer.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a working cable, your trailer brakes won't activate correctly, or at all. That’s a serious safety concern, plain and simple. You'll notice if this cable is bad pretty quickly – maybe the trailer brakes feel weak, or your trailer lights aren’t working properly. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace, but a crucial one for keeping everything safe on the road. You can find these pretty easily; a place like Fixparts Online carries a good selection. It's always a good idea to keep a spare, especially if you haul frequently.
