Wabco 4495441900 Valve Cable

Description

The Vcsii Valve Cable (4.0/4.0/4.0) by Wabco is an essential component within air brake systems, specifically EBS Cables. This cable facilitates communication between the Electronic Brake System (EBS) and the valves controlling the air brakes, ensuring reliable and responsive braking performance in commercial vehicles. It features a 3x bayonet socket ISO 15170-B1-3.1-Sn/K1 4-pin connector on one end and an X6 auxiliary plug 8-pin connector on the other, with a length of 4.00m and 4.0m respectively. With dimensions of 53 x 347 x 383 mm, this cable adheres to OE specifications and contributes to enhanced safety and system efficiency by providing a robust and reliable connection for critical braking functions.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable physically connects your brake pedal – or more accurately, the valve coming from your brake pedal – to the emergency brake control valve on your trailer. It's a pretty simple part, mechanically. It transmits the force when you hit the brakes, telling the trailer brakes to engage along with your truck’s. It's essentially a mechanical link. Think of it as a vital connection in your trailer braking system. Without this cable working right, your trailer's brakes won't respond when you hit the brakes in your truck. It’s specifically for the emergency brake function, so it's separate from the regular hydraulic or electric systems most trailers use while driving. This is what kicks in if you need a quick stop or if those other systems fail.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Honestly, it’s hugely important for safety. If this cable breaks or gets stretched out, you’ll notice if you try to use your emergency brake on the trailer – it just won’t feel right, or won't engage at all. A broken or faulty cable means you're losing a crucial layer of braking power, especially in emergency situations or going downhill. It’s a relatively inexpensive part considering what it does, and it’s definitely something you want to keep in good working order. You can often find them readily available; we carry a good selection here, and Fixparts Online is another good source if you prefer to order that way. Just make sure you get the right length and style for your setup.
