Description

This Wabco cable with plug is an essential component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronic Braking System) applications.

This cable meets OE specification, providing a robust and dependable solution for maintaining optimal braking performance. It measures 45 x 294 x 329 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable's job is pretty straightforward – it carries the electronic signals between your Electronic Braking System (EBS) control unit and things like the ABS sensors at each wheel, or even to the trailer’s braking system if you’re towing. It's like the nervous system for your brakes, sending info back and forth so everything works in sync. It delivers power and data, basically. Think of it as a vital connection. It lets the computer “talk” to the brake components. Without a good connection, the computer can't get information about wheel speed, brake pressure, or if something’s going wrong. It’s part of the larger system that allows for things like automatic emergency braking, stability control, and even just optimized brake force distribution. It's not something you see working, it's behind the scenes keeping everything coordinated.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

A failing EBS cable can cause a whole bunch of issues. You might get ABS lights coming on, your trailer brakes might not work right, or, in serious cases, the whole braking system could become unreliable. You’ll notice if you start getting warnings on your dash, or if your brakes feel spongy or aren’t responding as they should. These cables can get damaged from road grime, heat, or just wear and tear over time. A good quality cable keeps that communication clear and reliable. We carry a solid selection of these at Fixparts Online, but you can find them elsewhere too. Just make sure you get one that’s compatible with your specific vehicle.
