Wabco 4495442480 VCSII Valve Cable

Description

The Wabco VCSII Valve Cable (MPN: 4495442480) is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for use with EBS (Electronically Controlled Brake Systems). This cable facilitates communication between the electronic control unit and the brake valves, ensuring precise and responsive braking performance in commercial vehicles. It features a 3x bayonet socket ISO 15170-B1-3.1-Sn/K1 4-pin cable end on one side, and an X6 auxiliary plug 8-pin on the other. Measuring 393 x 349 x 63 mm, this OE specification cable provides a reliable and durable connection, contributing to enhanced safety and operational efficiency of the braking system. Its lengths are 3.00 m and 6.0 m.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable is pretty simple, actually. It connects your tractor protection valve – that’s the part that keeps air from going to the trailer brakes if you lose air pressure in the tractor – to the trailer’s emergency spring brakes. It physically tells those spring brakes to apply when there's a problem with the air system. It’s a mechanical link, a direct connection. Think of it as part of your safety net. Your air brake system is great when everything’s working as it should, but this cable is what kicks in when things go wrong. It's specifically for the emergency system on your trailer. It doesn’t affect normal braking; it’s strictly for when you need those trailer brakes to grab on their own because of an air failure. It’s really crucial for preventing runaways.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

You’ll notice if this cable fails pretty quickly, because the trailer emergency brakes won’t activate properly during a test. It acts like a shield, protecting you in a critical situation. A broken or stretched cable means that safety feature is gone, and that's a serious risk. It’s not something to put off fixing. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and they’re pretty straightforward to replace, but definitely a vital component for safety.
