Fastway 80-01-2160 Retailed 6' Universal ZIP Coiled Breakaway Cable w/ Snap Ring
Product Overview
A breakaway cable is a critical safety component designed to activate your trailer’s braking system if the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle. When the cable is pulled, it engages the breakaway switch, applying the trailer brakes and preventing a runaway situation. A worn or damaged cable can lead to catastrophic failure on the road, putting your cargo, vehicle, and others at risk. Replacing it promptly with a high-quality unit like this Fastway-compatible coiled cable restores full safety functionality and gives you peace of mind every time you hitch up.
This 6-inch retailed ZIP coiled breakaway cable is engineered to OEM-level specifications, featuring a stainless steel braided wire core with a durable UV-coated exterior. The galvanized iron hook and stainless steel O-ring provide corrosion-resistant attachment points that hold securely under tension. Unlike standard straight cables that drag on the ground and wear out quickly, the coiled design keeps the cable neatly suspended and tangle-free, extending service life and reducing tripping hazards during hookup.
Ideal for trailers, RVs, boats, utility trailers, and horse trailers, this universal cable fits most standard breakaway switch assemblies. Installation requires no special tools — simply attach the snap ring end to your breakaway switch pin and clip the heavy-duty carabiner to your tow vehicle. At an affordable price point with professional-grade construction, this is the smart, reliable upgrade for any trailer owner who prioritizes safety and convenience.
