Description

The Wabco 4493321200 Power Supply Cable 12M is designed for use in air brake systems, specifically within EBS (Electronic Braking System) applications. This cable provides the power connection for the VCS system. It features a 5-pin power connection on one end and an open 5-strand connection with push-on contacts (2 x 4.0 mm², 3 x 1.5 mm²) on the other. The cable is sized at 76 x 360 x 351 mm and meets OE specifications, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility within the intended braking system. Its robust construction and precise specifications contribute to a stable and efficient power supply for critical braking functions.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically delivers electrical power to your trailer’s brake control system. It connects the power source in your towing vehicle – that’s usually the battery – to the trailer brake controller itself. It’s a pretty straightforward job, but it’s gotta be reliable. It carries the juice that lets everything work. Think of it as a vital link in the chain. Your brake controller tells your trailer brakes when to activate, but it needs power to do that. This cable is the wire that delivers that power. It runs from the back of your truck or SUV, where the power supply is, all the way to where the brake controller is installed. It's part of the air brake system, so it's dealing with a system that stops a lot of weight.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this cable fails, your trailer brakes won’t work correctly, or at all. That's a big deal, obviously. You’ll notice if it’s starting to fray or get damaged – maybe your trailer brakes are acting up intermittently. It acts like a shield, protecting the rest of the system from electrical issues. A bad connection or a broken wire can lead to dangerous situations, especially when you’re hauling a heavy load. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and it’s something a lot of folks replace as part of regular maintenance, just to be safe. It's a relatively inexpensive part that could save you a lot of trouble and, more importantly, keep everyone safe on the road.
