Wabco 4496643160 Cable with Socket

Description

This Wabco cable with socket is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically designed for EBS (Electronically Controlled Braking System) applications. It facilitates communication between diagnostic tools and the vehicle’s braking system. This cable features a 7-pin diagnosis socket with a blue cap and a bayonet socket, compliant with ISO 72585-B1-3.1-Sn/K1 standards on one end, and an X2 diagnosis 8-pin connector on the other. Its OE specification ensures reliable performance and seamless integration. Measuring 50 x 362 x 394 mm, this cable provides a robust and dependable connection for efficient brake system diagnostics and maintenance.

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.
