Wabco 4495210050 Cable with Socket

Description

This cable with socket is a crucial component within an ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) controller, facilitating electrical connections essential for vehicle safety. It is used in brake controls to ensure reliable communication between the ABS controller and other braking system components. This cable is manufactured by Wabco with MPN 4495210050 and adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and optimal performance. The cable features a Kostal socket M 27 x 1 2-pin connection on one end and an open 2-strand connection with push-on contacts 2 x 1.5 mm² on the other. Its dimensions are 32 x 141 x 226 mm. This design ensures robust connectivity and signal integrity, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the braking system.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable's job is pretty straightforward – it connects the ABS controller, which is the brain of your anti – lock braking system, to one of the wheel speed sensors. Each wheel has a sensor, and this cable is how that sensor reports back to the controller how fast the wheel is spinning. It’s a simple electrical connection, sending a signal. Think of your ABS system as a safety net. It stops your wheels from locking up when you brake hard, which lets you keep steering and avoid a skid. This cable is a crucial part of that system. Without a good connection here, the controller doesn’t know what the wheel is doing. It’s a vital communication line.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this cable fails – it can corrode, the wire can break inside, or the connector can get damaged – the ABS system won’t work right. Usually, you'll get an ABS warning light on your dashboard. More importantly, your anti – lock brakes might not engage when you need them. You’ll notice if it’s bad – maybe the light comes on, or perhaps the ABS doesn’t kick in during a hard braking situation. It's a safety item, so it’s best to get it sorted quickly. You can often find these cables at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re not too difficult to replace if you’re comfortable with a little DIY.
