Description
Overview:
The Maypole 7 Pin to 8 Pin (fits 13 pin) Type Curly Trailer Extension Cable Adaptor is a coiled, plug-to-plug lead designed to adapt and extend trailer lighting connections on 12V towing systems. Built with a tough black outer jacket and copper conductors for dependable current flow, it helps bridge vehicles and trailers that use different plug formats while preserving key road-light functions, including reverse. The curly design reduces slack and snagging, returning to a compact length when not under tension. With an extended length of 2.5 m (8.2 feet), it offers ample reach between tow vehicle and trailer A-frame. Suitable for general trailers, plant trailers, caravans, and horseboxes, this durable adaptor (OEM/MPN 5901) provides a straightforward solution where 7-pin and 8-pin (13-pin type) connections need to interface.
Key Features:
- Coiled "curly" cable for tidy routing and reduced snagging
- 2.5 m (8.2 feet) extended length for practical reach between vehicle and trailer
- Plug-to-plug design for quick, no-cut installation
- Adapts between 7-pin and 8-pin (13-pin type) lighting connections
- Supports core road lights and reverse function on suitable systems
- Durable outer jacket and robust moulded connectors for long service life
- Corrosion-resistant metal contacts for reliable electrical performance
- Flexible lead helps reduce strain on sockets during tight turns
- Suitable for most 12V towing electrics on cars, vans, 4x4s and pickups
- Maypole quality with OEM reference 5901 for assured identification
Typical Applications:
Used to connect tow vehicles and trailers with differing 7-pin and 8-pin (13-pin type) interfaces, extend short trailer wiring, or provide a flexible link that resists kinking. Common on utility and plant trailers, car transporters, box trailers, boat trailers, caravans and horseboxes. Helpful in workshops and yards for temporary hook-ups and during hitching where extra reach and reverse light functionality are needed.
