Trailer Breakaway Cable – 4FT & 6FT Stainless Steel Safety Cable for RVs, Campers & Boats

Keep your trailer connected and your brake system engaged with this heavy-duty 304 stainless steel breakaway cable. Available in 4FT (1.2 m) and 6FT (1.8 m) lengths, this cable is engineered for reliable towing performance — whether you're hauling a boat, camper, RV, or utility trailer.

Key Features

• Transparent Jacket Design: The clear outer sheath lets you visually inspect the internal 1.5 mm steel wire at any time — no guesswork, no surprises on the road.
• Instant Brake Activation: Upon trailer separation, the breakaway cable immediately engages the brake controller, keeping your load from rolling free and helping to prevent accidents.
• Two Lengths for Every Trailer: The 4FT (1.2 m / 47.24 in, 156 g) suits shorter trailers, while the 6FT (1.8 m / 70.87 in, 168 g) accommodates longer rigs — select the right size for your setup.
• Scratch-Free Coated Steel Ends: Smooth-coated steel terminals protect your hands from nicks and cuts, and the clear sheath provides extra grip — even with work gloves on.
• Bolt-Mounted Buckle Pins: Secure bolt switches allow easy mounting directly to the trailer frame. The kit includes large buckle pins and a nylon locking pin for a rock-solid connection.
• Rust-Resistant 304 Stainless Steel: Built to withstand outdoor exposure, salt air, and weather — ideal for boat trailers, RV towing, campsite hookups, and more.
• Compact & Space-Saving Storage: Lightweight and neatly coiled, it stores effortlessly in your trailer storage box — the perfect backup cable to keep on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the 4FT and 6FT trailer breakaway cable?

A: The 4FT (1.2 m) breakaway cable is designed for shorter trailers, while the 6FT (1.8 m) version suits longer trailers such as large RVs or extended boat trailers. Both feature the same 304 stainless steel construction and clear jacket design — simply choose the length that best fits your trailer's tongue-to-hitch distance.

Q: Will this breakaway cable work with my boat trailer's electric brake system?

A: Yes. This trailer safety cable is compatible with electric brake controllers commonly found on boat, RV, and utility trailers. The cable links to your power brake line and triggers the brake controller instantly upon trailer separation, helping to keep your trailer safely stopped.

Q: Is the stainless steel cable rust-resistant enough for marine or wet environments?

A: Absolutely. The cable is made from 304 stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, and salt air — making it well-suited for boat trailer use and outdoor camping in all weather conditions.

Q: How is the breakaway cable mounted to the trailer?

A: The kit includes bolt-mounted buckle pins and a nylon locking pin. Simply thread the bolt switch through your trailer's mounting point and secure it with the provided hardware. Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools.
