What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this Fastway breakaway cable. So this is gonna be a replacement part for the one that came with your breakaway switch. So if something happened, you lost it or it broke, you can easily replace it. Let's check it out. It's gonna plug in the exact same way here on our breakaway switch.
It's also that coil design, so that's better than the straight steel cable design 'cause those usually have extra to them that you have to find a place for, or they can sag down as they get it hooked up. With this coil design, when you've got it hooked up to the hitch, you can see it's gonna stay in a straight line and be outta the way of everything else. To give you a better example, I wanna compare you with straight steel cable one, and see it had to be zip tied to take up some of that extra cable, and that's just kind of annoying that you have to do that. That's why this one's far better with a coil design because you're not gonna have that problem or have to do this. Plus, you have this sturdy, heavy-duty carabiner at the end rather than just a steel cable loop.
This is a universal fit for breakaway switches as long as it's that style of end on there. And it's also gonna come in six foot and four foot options. So if you need to match that up with your vehicle set up and your trailer, you can. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helps.

Replace the cable on your trailer breakaway device with this durable, coiled cord. No more dragging or fraying. No need to wrap cable around your trailer frame. Works with any pin-style breakaway device.I replaced the original vinyl covered stainless steel break away cable with this coiled break away cable. The coiled break away cable doesn’t get tangled up in the safety chains or drag on the ground, so it suits my needs better.
Great screw together safey/security feature. (Not just a push thru pin) Stainless steel no rust. Works like new
The fact that it is coiled keeps it out of trouble.
Nice part. Quick delivery
If your' looking to buy something and need it quickly, etrailer is the place to get it. *** This is a great little device. I installed the Fastway Zip Coiled Breakaway Cable on a previous camper trailer and now, bought it for my present camper trailer. It's a simple installation and is out of the way(not dangling around) when not in use. Thanks etrailer!!
Works Great, good quality, quick delivery, good price
Everything went great on this order, thank you
worked perfect
Easy to install (even without unplugging the original pin) by cutting the original cable off where it attaches and attaching the split ring. No more dragging a too-long cable or wrapping it around the setup to keep off the ground.
works great
Madison and I have had numerous phone conversations and she has provided me with good answers and help each time.
I am a retired associate athletic director for Texas A&M. Madison is the kind of person I would look for in the hiring process. She could handle those irate donors and ugly fans with ease. Thank you Madison!
Easy to put on and a good little upgrade for the crappy cable that came with my trailer.
It was a simple install. Going to be much better than the cable breakaway that keeps breaking into
Excellent replacement for the factory breakaway cable. No more dangling cables and broken casing with sharp wires, the coiled cable is easy to connect and stays up out of the way.

1 year on and still looks like the day it was installed. Should have done this years ago.
On the way home from a recent camping trip, my trailer's original equipment safety brake cable frayed completely in two. This looks like the perfect solution. I haven't had it on the road yet, but it was easy to install.

After a year on the road, this cable is working just fine. I was a little concerned at first that it doesn’t have much slack at all, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem.
This item is excellent for keeping the cable out of the chains way. Ive always had the issue of the cable dragging or getting under the receiver and getting cut. This prevents that and keeps out of way when getting into our cutaway van-no tripping hazard.

Great, thanks
Quick easy install and much better than the cable that was on my trailer originally. Etrailer shipped fast and price is excellent. Thanks!
We had a plastic coated aircraft cable that was OEM on our amusement trailer. Unfortunately, the cable was far too long, drug the roadway and eventually broke.
As a prior customer of etrailer.com, I looked here first for just such a piece of safety equipment. It was exactly what we needed, stays up and out of the way when not attached to our tow vehicle. It was easier than trying to build a replacement cable! the cable is built solidly, the split ring is beefier than you'd think by looking at just the photos and the carabiner clip locks securely onto our tow vehicle.
Shipping, as usual with etrailer.com, was lightning fast.
My overall experience, with this and other purchases, has always been excellent. I even got to visit the warehouse for a pick-up on a trip in Feb, 2014! The folks are as nice in person as they are over the phone, through email or even online chat help.
These coiled breakaway cables are the greatest thing ever! I was forever replacing breakaway cables from getting the slack pinched in between the hitch and the trailer. I haven't had to replace one since changing over. I now have about 90% of the fleet trailers changed over.
Really nice & simple shortcut to trailer hitching. Cleans up the overall appearance of the attachments - chains, electrical umbilical, and breakaway connection, and makes it faster.
We'll just have to see as far as durability goes. So far so good a year later.
Excellent selection of products, site easy to navigate, prices are reasonable, super quick shipping and stellar customer service! What more could I ask for!

Great! Very happy with product
Well made product. The coiled cable works well staying up out of the way of the safety chains and the electrical cable. I would feel better if it were more substantial, but all it has to do is pull out the plunger from the break-away switch, so it should work just fine. I hope I never put that to the test.
Just received my coil breakaway cable, I bought a new trailer in less than 4 months my cable snapped . The breakaway cable is perfect because it does not drag and will not get caught under trailer jack going up driveways.
The only concern I have is the thickness of the breakaway cable seams awful thin, but I'm sure it has been thoroughly tested.
Great upgrade for fifth wheel tlr. No dangling three foot cord to get hung up.
