Trailer Safety & Breakaway Systems

Fastway 80-01-2160 Retailed 6' Universal ZIP Coiled Breakaway Cable w/ Snap Ring

Universal Fit Heavy Duty UV Coated 1-Year Warranty

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.

Key Features & Benefits

✔ Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction
Braided stainless steel wire wrapped around a steel core delivers exceptional tensile strength and resists fraying, corrosion, and fatigue — so your cable performs reliably trip after trip.
✔ UV-Resistant Coiled Design
The smooth UV coating protects against sun damage and prevents sharp wire ends from poking or snagging, while the self-coiling shape keeps the cable off the ground and out of the elements.
✔ Universal Multi-Fit Compatibility
Works with virtually all standard breakaway switches on trailers, RVs, boats, and utility trailers. Multiple mounting holes allow flexible positioning to match your existing setup.
✔ Galvanized Iron Hook & Stainless O-Ring
The 0.36-inch galvanized iron hook resists rust and secures firmly to the tow vehicle, while the included stainless steel O-ring adapts to older breakaway pins for a snug, reliable connection.
✔ Heavy-Duty Carabiner Included
A robust carabiner clip makes attachment to your tow vehicle quick and tool-free — no more fumbling with small hooks or cotter pins during hookup.
✔ Easy Installation in Minutes
No wiring, drilling, or special tools required. Simply attach the snap ring end to the breakaway switch pin, clip the carabiner end to the tow vehicle, and you’re ready to roll safely.

Installation Guide

Difficulty: Beginner — Time: 5–10 minutes — Tools Needed: None (everything is tool-free)

1
Locate your breakaway switch. Find the breakaway switch on your trailer tongue or A-frame near the coupler. It will have a small pin with a pull ring or loop attached to a cable.
2
Remove the old cable. Pull the existing cable pin out of the breakaway switch and detach it from the tow vehicle. Discard the worn cable.
3
Attach the snap ring to the switch pin. Connect the snap ring end of the new coiled cable to the breakaway switch pin. If your pin is too small, use the included stainless steel O-ring as an adapter for a snug fit.
4
Insert the pin into the switch. Push the pin firmly back into the breakaway switch until it clicks or seats fully. The coiled cable should now extend from the switch housing.
5
Clip the carabiner to the tow vehicle. Use the heavy-duty carabiner to attach the other end of the cable to a secure, fixed point on your tow vehicle (e.g., a frame bracket, hitch loop, or dedicated attachment point). Ensure the cable has a slight amount of slack when the trailer is attached so it doesn't pull taut during normal driving.
6
Verify function. With the trailer connected, gently tug the cable to confirm it is properly secured and that the breakaway switch pin remains engaged. Perform a quick brake test if possible to ensure the system activates when the cable is pulled.
