Wabco 4497110800 Connector Cable Assembly

Description

This Connector Plug with Cable is a vital component within air brake systems, specifically designed for trailer brake controls. It functions as an essential link for ABS sensors, ensuring reliable communication within the braking network. This assembly, manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4497110800, features a 2-pin sensor plug on one end and an open 2-strand cable on the other. Measuring 25 x 301 x 422 mm, this connector is engineered to meet OE specifications, offering a durable and precise connection for enhanced system performance and reliability.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable assembly basically connects the electrical signal from your truck’s brake pedal to the trailer’s brakes. It handles power and the signal that tells the trailer brakes when to activate, and how strongly. It’s a multi – pin connector, so it carries several different signals – typically for the brakes themselves, plus things like the trailer lights and maybe even a charge line to keep the trailer battery topped up. It’s a pretty straightforward component, but crucial. Think of it as the nervous system between your truck and trailer when it comes to braking. Your truck’s system sends the signal down this cable, and the trailer’s brake controller uses that signal to apply the trailer brakes. Without it, your truck can’t talk to the trailer’s brakes. It’s usually located where the trailer connects to the hitch – that’s where you’ll find the connector plug.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without a functioning connector cable, you have no trailer brakes. That’s a big safety issue, obviously. A faulty cable can cause intermittent braking, or no braking at all, which is incredibly dangerous, especially at highway speeds. You’ll notice if it’s going bad – things like trailer brake lights flickering, the trailer brakes not responding consistently, or even the trailer brakes staying on when you don’t want them to. Sometimes it’s a simple case of corrosion in the connector, other times the wires inside are damaged. You can find these cable assemblies readily available, we stock a lot of them at Fixparts Online, and replacing it is usually a pretty easy fix. It’s a relatively inexpensive part considering the potential consequences of it failing, so it’s smart to keep a spare or address it quickly if you suspect a problem.
