Wabco 1835210234 7-Pin Extension Cable 5000mm

Description

This Wabco 7-Pin Extension Cable 5000mm is designed for use in trailer brake systems, specifically within air brake applications. It provides a reliable connection for trailer electrical systems, ensuring proper functionality of the brakes. This cable meets OE specification for performance and durability. It measures 260 x 260 x 30 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically extends the connection between your tow vehicle and the trailer’s electric brakes. It carries the signals that tell the trailer brakes when to activate and how strongly to apply. It handles everything from brake lights to turn signals related to the trailer. It's a pretty simple part, but it's got a lot riding on it. Think of this as the nervous system for your trailer brakes. Your vehicle sends a signal, and this cable delivers it to the trailer’s brake controller, telling those brakes what to do. Without a good connection here, you won't have reliable trailer braking. It plugs into the standard 7 – way connector on your vehicle and the trailer.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, this is a safety item, plain and simple. A faulty or damaged extension cable can mean weak or unresponsive trailer brakes. You’ll notice if it’s bad – things like the trailer pushing against the vehicle when you slow down, or the trailer lights flickering. It acts like a shield protecting the vital signals to your trailer brakes. Replacing a worn or damaged cable is a lot cheaper – and a whole lot safer – than dealing with brake failure. You can often find these at places like Fixparts Online, or most auto parts stores, but just make sure you get one that’s the right length and the connections are clean and solid.
