Wabco 4493051000 Cable with Socket

Description

This Wabco cable with socket is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically EBS (Electronic Braking System) cables. It's designed to facilitate the electrical connection necessary for the proper functioning of the braking system. This cable features a 5-strand open connection (2 x 1.0 mm², 1 x 0.5 mm², 2 x 0.35 mm²) on one end and a Code E 8-pin connector on the other. Its OE specification ensures compatibility and reliable performance, maintaining the integrity of the braking system. The dimensions of this cable are 60 x 370 x 400 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This cable basically transmits the electronic signals between your Electronic Braking System’s components—things like your ABS module, wheel speed sensors, and even the brake control unit itself. It carries data, not the actual braking force, so think of it like the nervous system for your air brakes. It’s got the cable itself, obviously, and then that socket end—that’s how it plugs into one of the EBS components, completing the circuit. It’s a vital part of your air brake system's electronic side. Modern trucks and trailers rely heavily on these systems for stability and control. This cable specifically connects one of those components to the main EBS network, allowing everything to communicate. It’s not a standalone thing; it works with all the other sensors and modules. You'll typically find these running along the chassis, connecting the various sensors to the central control unit.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a functioning EBS cable, that sensor won’t be able to ‘tell’ the system what’s going on. Imagine one of your wheel speed sensors can’t send data—the ABS won’t know if a wheel is locking up, and you lose that critical safety feature. This cable acts like a shield protecting the signal from interference. A damaged or corroded cable can cause all sorts of problems—ABS lights, intermittent braking issues, or even a complete failure of the system. You’ll notice if one of these goes bad usually because of warning lights on your dash, or the ABS system just won’t engage when you need it. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and having a good quality cable is really important to keep everything running smoothly and safely. Product information is provided for reference only.
