Wabco 4495341480 Valve Cable 3.0M

Description

The Wabco 4495341480 Vcsii Valve Cable (3.0/3.0M) is a critical component within trailer brake control systems, specifically designed for air brake applications. It serves as the vital connection between the trailer's braking system and the towing vehicle. This cable features 2x bayonet socket ISO 15170-B1-3.1-Sn/K1 4-pin connectors on one end and an X6 auxiliary plug 8-pin connector on the other. Measuring 336 x 385 x 63 mm, this cable is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and compatibility. Its robust construction delivers a secure and consistent connection, contributing to enhanced braking efficiency and overall trailer safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable is basically the electrical connection between your truck or towing vehicle and the electric brakes on your trailer. It carries the signal – the power – that tells the trailer brakes when to engage and how hard to brake. It's got a standard 7 – way RV blade connector on one end, and the wiring for the trailer brakes on the other. It handles power for the brakes themselves, plus sometimes a signal for the trailer lights as well. Think of it like the nervous system for your trailer brakes. Your brake pedal sends a message through this cable to the trailer’s brake controller, which then tells the trailer’s brakes what to do. Without this cable, your truck can’t “talk” to the trailer brakes, and you're relying on nothing but engine braking or emergency brake – which isn't safe at all. It connects to the trailer brake controller inside your cab, and then runs to the trailer connector in the back of your vehicle.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a big safety item, honestly. If this cable is damaged or corroded, your trailer brakes may not work correctly—or at all. You’ll notice if it's really bad, because the trailer might be slow to brake, or pull to one side. Even a partial failure can be dangerous, especially at highway speeds or with a heavy load. A good, solid connection here acts like a shield, making sure your trailer is stopping when you expect it to. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and it’s one of those things where spending a little now can prevent a lot of trouble – and potentially a serious accident – down the road. It's a relatively simple part, but it's crucial for safe towing.
