Description
Overview:
This 3 mm x 1 metre breakaway cable is a safety link for braked trailers and caravans. It is designed to pull on the trailer's brake mechanism if the coupling becomes detached from the towball, helping bring the trailer to a controlled stop. The inner cable is strong steel wire rope with a durable red PVC outer for visibility and weather protection. Supplied at 1 m (approximately 3.28 ft) overall length, it suits most common towing setups where a designated breakaway attachment point is provided on the tow vehicle. A spring clip at one end allows quick connection to the towbar's breakaway eye, while the crimped eye at the other end provides a secure attachment point to the trailer handbrake linkage. Reference: MPN 761 440.
