Wabco 4491320600 Power Cable Separate Type 6.0M

Description

The Wabco 4491320600 is a power cable designed for VCS/VCS II air brake systems. It is used to connect the power supply line to EBS systems, specifically for semi-trailers. This cable features a socket ISO 7638 7-pin connection on one end and a coupling connector 5-pin on the other. Measuring 100 x 380 x 380 mm, this OE specification cable ensures a reliable and secure power connection for optimal brake system performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically delivers electrical power and the control signal from your tow vehicle to your trailer’s electric brakes. It has two separate wires inside – one for the power itself, and one that sends the signal telling the trailer brakes when to activate. It’s designed to be run separately, meaning it’s not combined with the ground wire like some older setups. Think of it as the nervous system connecting your truck or SUV to the trailer’s brakes. When you hit the brake pedal in your tow vehicle, a signal travels down this cable, telling the trailer’s brake controller to apply the brakes. It’s a critical link in safely stopping everything you’re hauling. It plugs into the trailer connector in the back of your vehicle and then runs to the trailer’s brake assembly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without this cable functioning correctly, your trailer brakes won’t work, or they’ll work intermittently. That's obviously a really dangerous situation. A failing cable can cause everything from jerky braking to complete brake failure, especially in emergency situations. A longer cable like this 6.0 meter one is good if you have a longer trailer, or you want a little extra slack to work with. You’ll notice if this cable is damaged pretty quickly - you might get warning lights, or the trailer brakes just won't respond right. You can find a replacement like this one pretty easily—we’ve got a good selection over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking, but it’s something you definitely want to address promptly for safety’s sake. It acts like a shield against letting your trailer run away with you, basically.
