Description

The Wabco 4493321800 Power Supply Cable 18M is a vital component within air brake systems, specifically designed for use with VCS applications. This cable facilitates the power supply connection, ensuring reliable operation of the braking 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. Measuring 83 x 393 x 348 mm, this cable meets OE specifications, delivering robust performance and durability for demanding commercial vehicle applications.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically delivers electricity from your tractor or truck to the trailer’s braking system. It handles power for the electric brakes themselves, and also for any related functions like lift axle controls or even lights if those are tied into the trailer’s system. It’s a multi – purpose connection, sending the juice where it needs to go. Think of it as the main artery for your trailer’s brakes. It connects everything back to the power source in your cab. It plugs into the back of your truck, and then runs to the front of the trailer, supplying everything the trailer braking needs to work. It's a pretty vital link in getting those trailer brakes responding when you hit the pedal.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without this cable working properly, your trailer brakes won't engage. It’s as simple as that. No power, no stopping power. You’ll notice if this thing is failing because you’ll get little or no brake response from the trailer. It could be intermittent at first - maybe the brakes work sometimes, then they don’t. It’s a safety item, plain and simple. We carry a lot of different lengths, but the 18 – meter one is a really common size for longer hauls. You can find it on sites like Fixparts Online, but we've got them in stock here too if you need it right away. A damaged or faulty cable is something you really want to address before it becomes a problem on the road.
