Fastway 4' Zip Trailer Coiled Breakaway Cable Truck Towing W/clip
Replacement Fastway Zip breakaway cable designed to help keep the trailer breakaway connection up off the ground while towing. A clean solution for replacing a frayed, broken, rusty, or dragging breakaway cable.
Overview
This Fastway 4' Zip trailer breakaway cable replaces worn, frayed, broken, rusty, or dragging breakaway cables. The Zip design helps keep the cable up off the ground and out of harm's way while towing, then clips back to itself when not in use to reduce dangling around the front of the trailer.
R&P Service Insight
A breakaway cable is a small part with a very important job. If the cable is dragging, frayed, kinked, rusty, or difficult to handle, replacement is a smart safety-service step before the next tow.
- Safety Connection: Helps maintain the required connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer breakaway switch.
- Cleaner Towing: Designed to stay up off the ground instead of dragging behind the coupler area.
- Easier Handling: Includes a spring clip for simple attachment and storage when not towing.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for trailer breakaway switch cable replacement where a 4' Fastway Zip-style cable is appropriate.
Trailer System Fit: Used as the cable connection between the tow vehicle and the trailer breakaway system.
Installation Notes: Confirm cable length, attachment point, breakaway switch condition, and routing before use.
Performance Insight: Keeping the cable off the ground helps reduce wear, snagging, fraying, and nuisance damage during regular towing.
R&P Repair Insight
Inspect the complete breakaway setup any time the cable is replaced. A new cable should be routed so it can activate the breakaway switch properly without dragging, wrapping around the jack, or interfering with the safety chains.
- Check Cable Condition: Replace cables that are frayed, rusted, broken, kinked, or dragging on the ground.
- Check Switch Operation: Verify the breakaway switch and pin are in good working condition before towing.
- Check Attachment Routing: Attach and route the cable so it is secure, clear of moving parts, and able to function as intended.
