Video Transcript for Deka Wiring DW04914-1 Review
Today we're going to be reviewing part number DW04914-1. This is the Deka Wire Jacketed 7-Cabled Wire. This product is going to be sold by the foot, so however many feet you need just enter that number into the quantity box. This is going to work great for many applications whether you are rewiring a trailer, adding a junction box, or making your own plug. This is manufactured to SAE and ATA specifications. It meets SAE J1128 specifications for use with 50 volts or less. It's going to be the multi-conductor stranded copper wire design. It's going to maintain its flexibility no matter what weather condition you're in.
It's going to stand up well against the elements and give you the flexibility that you need. I did splice off the end here. That way we can see the exposed wires. You can see that they're going to be color coded. You're going to have 7 wires. The entire cable is going to be enclosed in a black vinyl jacket.
That's going to reduce road hazards. It's going to keep the wires protected from any type of damage. Each conductor itself is going to be insulated with a heavy vinyl covering. Six out of the 7 wires are going to be gauge 12; the white wire is going to be gauge 10. This product's made in the USA. That's going to do it for our review of part number DW04914-1.

7 general-purpose primary wires in a black vinyl jacket. Heavy-duty compact cable protects insulated conductors against weathering, chemicals, and abrasion.by: John05/22/2019
This wire is very easy to work with and splices nicely. Used in conjunction with a terminal box and a molded 7pin connector lead made my rewire a breeze. Spend a few extra dollars and buy heat shrink or heat shrink connectors and quality cable clamps.

Good jacketed 7 wire. Flexible, good quality and used my use was for wiring up a light motorcycle trailer. Customer service was great and shipping was fast.
by: Bill G12/07/2015
GREAT PRODUCTS,just what i needed to rewire a friends trailer,his wiring had been cut and slpiced so many times by otheres, so it was time for a rewire
now the junction box i think could be little larger and have a ground wire attached to it as well, i know the trailer is grounded when attached to the tow vehicle, but an extra ground attached to the trailer is even better, but it all works very well, After the trailer was wired correctly, now its time to do the same to the tow vehicle since someone told told him the brake controller was bad and needed to be replaced,not the case, replaced the plug and wiring on the tow vehicle as well , he now had lights that are in working order and brakes to help stop him as well
by: Dave H.01/19/2015
Good durable yet flexible cable with a nice thick protective coating. Purchased 10' of cable and the trailer wire junction box to upgrade the wiring on my open deck trailer. I like the upsized ground wire- most problems with wiring can be traced back to a poor ground wire and/or connection at the trailer. Having the larger ground wire will help to eliminate grounding issues- as long as it is installed properly!
by: Mark H03/25/2016
Great service and quick shipment. My item, 7 strand wire to extend my camper plug in, was as described and was a good price. Very satisfied. Thank you.

Still working fine. Just what I needed to make using the camper easier.
by: builder bob05/19/2015
Though I have not time tested these products, I must say that out of the box, I am impressed. This is serious, proper wiring- hard to find stuff. The Hopkins plug and Deka wire have a really nice casing, it has a smooth finish- cuts well, and the individual wires handle nicely. The junction box was exactly as pictured, and made the job so much cleaner and easier. I will put one of these boxes on all 3 of my trailers! I was blown away at the help I got over the phone when ordering. Caleb helped steer me in the right direction, and I'm well on my way to a fully rewired and restored trailer. Thanks again guys- I'll be back for help with my other rigs!

I ordered all the equipment to help my son rewire his enclosed trailer. We got everything as ordered and it all worked out great. I had emailed etrailer multiple times to discuss what exactly I needed. They were great and their help was above and beyond. Any trailer parts, wiring, etc., you need, this is the place to get it!

I got exactly what I expected. Great customer service & follow through.

This is quality wire that was used to support electrical connections between my RV and toad. Its held up beautifully & I continue to be very pleased with it.
by: Sourivanh03/21/2018
The wires were exactly what I was looking for. I needed the bigger gauge wire to rewire my 44 feet enclosed trailer. I especially like the fact that these wires were well insulated and holds up extremely well against the elements. Installed it last year and still works as it should.
by: Bill W.06/23/2017
I have not installed the Deka - Jacketed 7-Wire electrical cable yet. However, I did do a visual and physical inspection.
The cable appears to be heavy duty yet flexible. I'm looking forward to using this cable in conjunction with a new Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket (PK12-707E).
My order was delivered faster than expected. Although, I guess I should not be surprised. etrailer has always been a reliable, class act.
by: Carl08/10/2019
Really nice cable! Very heavy duty cable that has a heavy jacket protecting the inner insulated wires. Everything about this cable speaks rugged, weatherproof and long-lasting. It's also very nice having the larger sized white ground (10 gauge) wire. I'm quite impressed and pleased!
by: Jonathan H10/23/2017
Been using it on my gooseneck and still holding up great. Maintains flexibility in winter and abrasion resistant.

Can get a little stiff in the winter, otherwise works as expected.
by: Richard J Cardin11/03/2017
I base this review on my past experience with other cables I bought from etrailer in the past. I haven't used this last cable as of yet. I am rewiring a camper trailer for a friend to rid the camper of poor wiring for the tail and clearance lights. The quick and friendly service and the quality of parts that I have received from etrailer warent a review that I rarely grant to anyone. I say thanks to George J.
by: Randy K.07/13/2018
This 7-wire cable worked perfectly for all of the electrical connections on my utility trailer. The outer cover is tough and will protect my wiring under the trailer.
by: Vic A06/15/2017
I am glad I came upon this site. The staff is friendly courteous and helpful.
Since I live in Canada it is a big problem if I had to send items back across the border to etrailer if the items were not what I thought they were. The short videos that etrailer provides with each product is extremely helpful in determining to purchase or not. Thank you for that feature. Knowing a little about video production and the costs associated with that, it must cost etrailer a pile to give us (the consumers) what appears to be a simple addition on their site
Thanks again guys/gals
by: Jim F.03/15/2017
I had very little room between my spare tire and the socket. It's probably listed somewhere but I couldn't find it for the two I was looking at. I made an online inquiry and Michael H. got right back to me with all the dimensions and clearances needed, which convinced me to go with the HM48470. Ordered it, some wire and a receiver lock, which arrived today. Will wait for the snow to melt before I crawl under there to install them. Thanks again for the great service!
by: Kenneth09/13/2020
This wire worked well for connecting my 7 pole rv socket to the tail light wires inside a transit van. I ordered 5 feet and it was just long enough. I did not anticipate going half way up the tail light to get behind the side panel. it is a well made product that is easy to work with.
by: Chris B11/07/2016
Cable was exactly what I needed to wire my trailer and is a lot cheaper than going to auto parts stores

I still have all the electric supplies from etrailer on my cargo trailer. I have had no issues with any of your products whatsoever. I hope this helps
by: Scott W. 06/04/2013
Exactly what was described. The product was manufactured well and very easy to install. The information provided was easy to decipher and used the wiring harness diagram for easy install. I never go just color wire to color wire so wiring by function was easy.

Bought a wiring kit for my car trailer, wire quality was great, terminal block was useful.
by: Ed P.09/16/2014
Not much to say. It's a 7 wire lead that works just fine. It would have been nice if eTrailer would have cut the ends flat instead of an angle. Just adds another step to complete of getting the wires the same length.
by: Tom09/20/2014
Great wire perfect for 7 way plug. Used mine to tie into junction box and used 4 wire from there. Job looks great and offers easy access to make changes.
by: BODUNRIN.A12/03/2015
Anything that is worth doing at all is always worth doing well.This wire is so good starting from the sturby looks to what it does.I am not disappointed at all.There is one thing that got me hooked to etrailer,they will always explain things to you from the smallest to the biggest in writing and with video clips so you will not be alone,you will know that definitely somebody has your back and for sure you will have an idea of what you are buying because there will always be an explanation for it.I just say thank you for the wonderful job that you guys are doing.

See what our Experts say about this Deka Wiring
- Do you Have 5 Strand Wire for my Livestock Trailer.I do not offer a 5 wire. Typically what we do here in this case is to use the Deka Wire Jacketed 7-Wire part # DW04914-1 and not use two of the wires. In your case they just didn't need the full 7 way function. Possibly eliminated the reverse wire and the power wire assuming the trailer has brakes on it. Leaving you with ground, taillights, left turn and brake, right turn and brake and the brake power wire.
view full answer... - Should Each Brake on a Single Axle Trailer be Wired Directly to a Junction BoxThe brake wires can be spliced together and have one wire run to the junction box if that is easiest for you. On a single axle you could also have separate brake wires for both sides if you wanted to but most of the time there is a single wire out to the brakes and it will Tee off to each side.

- Can Individual Wires From Deka Jacketed 7-Wire Be Used to Re-Wire Trailer There's no reason at all that you couldn't use the Deka Jacketed 7-Wire # DW04914-1 to re-wire your trailer like you described. The individual wires inside the jacket are 10 and 12 gauge wire which is plenty large enough to span the length of a trailer and the jacket can easily be cut and taken off so you can separate all the wires. My best recommendation in your particular case is to simply go with the most cost-effective option. I have attached a short video review that you can check...
view full answer... - Does Brake Output Circuit of Jacketed DEKA Trailer Wiring DW04914-1 Have Heavy Enough Gauge WireThe brake output wire of the jacketed 7-way wiring part # DW04914-1 that you referenced does come with a heavy enough gauge of wire for your brake circuit. The 12 gauge brake output circuit would work well.
view full answer... - Outside Diameter of Deka Jacketed 7-WireThe Deka Wire # DW04914-1 has a total outside diameter of 0.6 inches. The white wire is 10 gauge and the other 6 wires are 12 gauge. It's sold by the foot.
view full answer... - What is the Outer Diameter of Deka Wire - Jacketed 7-WireI went out to the warehouse to measure the outer diameter of the Deka Wire - Jacketed 7-Wire # DW04914-1 for you. Using digital calipers I measured the outer diameter at 0.60 inches which is just slightly less than 5/8 inch.
view full answer... - Will 12V Wire at Vehicle End Trailer Connector Be Hot Even When Truck and All Lights Are OffThe 12V wire at the vehicle-end trailer connector being hot even when the truck is off can vary depending on the application. For all aftermarket hardwiring installations of a 7-Way wiring harness, the 12V wire will be hot at all times, even when the truck is off and no lights are on in the trailer. This is because the 12V power wire is ran from the vehicle battery, then typically to a circuit breaker, then to the trailer connector. In OEM applications, it will vary depending on the make...
view full answer... - Wiring Multiple Lights On a Trailer with Red and Black WiresIn most cases, a trailer tail light with only two wires will ground through the mounting hardware so there is no ground wire. Therefore, the wires are for stop/turn and running lights. That said, not every light is the same and all should come with some sort of wiring diagram you can use to install them correctly. However,, if I were to guess I would say red is for stop/turn and black is for running lights. I have attached for you below our entire selection of tail and marker lights. If...
view full answer... - Amperage Rating of Deka WireThe Deka Wire # DW04914-1 has six 12 gauge wires and one 10 gauge wire. They are copper wires, and 12 gauge copper wires are rated for 20 amps while 10 gauge copper wires are rated for 30 amps. I've added some video reviews on this product for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - How is Deka DW04914-1 Jacketed 7-Wire SoldYou're correct, the Deka # DW04914-1 Jacketed 7-wire is sold by the foot, so when choosing the quantity you order, place the number of feet needed as the quantity. For instance, if you needed a 7-foot length, you'd order a quantity of 7. Whatever quantity you choose will equal the length in feet of the wire you receive.
view full answer... - Is Deka Wire Jacketed 7-Wire # DW04914-1 FlexibleIt's hard to give an exact way to tell you how flexible the Deka Wire Jacketed 7-Wire # DW04914-1 is but if you check out the review video I attached you'll see that it's coiled pretty tight and when he moves the wiring it easily flexes without much effort or stiffness.
view full answer... - Which Wire of the Deka Wire # DW04914-1 Should Be Used for Reverse Light CircuitOn the Deka Wire # DW04914-1 that you referenced there isn't a purple wire, instead you would want to use the black wire as the reverse light circuit. Green for right turn/stop Yellow for left turn/stop White for ground Brown for running lights Blue for brake output Red for 12 volt accy Black for reverse
view full answer... - How is the Length of the Deka Wire - Jacketed 7-Wire DW04914-1 OrderedThe # DW04914-1 is actually sold by the foot. What you would need to do is order a quantity of the length you need and we will ship you out the length you need.
view full answer... - Can Vinyl Sleeve Be Removed From Deka Wire # DW04914-1Yes, the 10 and 12 gauge wires that covered by the vinyl jacket on the Deka Wire # DW04914-1 are strong enough to stand up to normal trailer use when exposed. Without the jacket covering they will be more prone to damage from road debris/hazards during travel but plenty of trailers use un-jacketed wiring along the length of the frame and these wires in particular are actually of heavier-gauge than what you would normally find on a trailer. I have attached a short video review on this...
view full answer... - Are The Deka 4-Wire and 7-Wire Jacketed Wires Made Of Copper Or CCAThe Deka Jacketed 4-Wire # DW04923-1 and 7-wire # DW04914-1 both use full copper wire instead of Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) wire.
view full answer... - Wire Gauges Used in Deka Jacketed 6-Wire and 7-Wire Trailer WiringThe wiring harness kits we offer for your 1996 Ford F-250 are all 4-pole types like # 118316 and the others shown on the linked page. The include a white ground wire, yellow left turn/stop wire, green right turn/stop wire and a brown running light wire. 6-wire jacketed cable like # DW04906-1 from Deka does use all 14-gauge conductors. Their 7-wire cable, part # DW04914-1, does use heavier 12-gauge wires for all except the ground, which is a 10-gauge. Both meet SAE J1128 specifications...
view full answer... - Which Wire is 10 Gauge in the Jacketed 7-Wire Trailer Wiring, # 127C500-1I went out to the warehouse to examine the wires contained in the jacket 7-wire, # DW04914-1. The white wire is actually the 10 gauge wire and the others are all 12. You would still use the white wire for the brakes if you wanted but traditionally, though there is no standard, white is the ground. Or, if you wanted separate blue wire, 10 gauge, you could use # 10-1-1. Both of these wires are sold in 1 foot increments.
view full answer... - What Gauge Wire Can Trailer Brake Circuit HaveThat is a valid question. We strongly recommend people use 10 gauge wire like the part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), but we realize that there are a lot of people who get by with 12 gauge wire. There are several variables with trailer brake wiring that we generally do not know when our customers ask about the wire gauge that should be used for re-wiring a trailer's electric brakes. The length of the trailer (and the required wiring) and the number of axles (and brake assemblies) can vary...
view full answer... - Is The Pollak Metal 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12702 RV Standard or Traditional? The back of the Pollak Metal 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12702 can be wired to either the traditional or RV standard wiring depending on what colors your trailer wiring uses. As you can see in the image all the functions are in the same location and the only difference is the colors of the wiring being used. As an example the 7-Way Wire # DW04914-1 we sell by the foot uses the RV standard wiring colors so it would follow that diagram. While many of the colors are used on both...

- Replacement Wiring Harness for a 2019 Dodge CaravanSorry to hear about your wiring issues. It does sound like the module has gone out or is malfunctioning in the Curt wiring harness you have. You can't just replace the modules and if you are certain you have no other blown fuses then I recommend replacing the wiring harness. The Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56331 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan and is a better product. Curt makes the best wiring harnesses in the towing business. This...
view full answer... - 7-Way Wiring Harness Recommendation for Use with Pollak Heavy-Duty, 7-PoleWe have a jacketed 7-way wiring sold by the foot. For that you would want the part # DW04914-1. Just order the quantity of the harness in the amount of feet that you need. It would wire right up to the terminals at the back of the connector part # pk11720.
view full answer... - Switchable Truck Bed Light Recommendation for Truck Bed 7-WayThe Light Buster Backup and Utility Light # C8020 that you referenced is actually exactly what you are looking for. As long as the 12 volt circuit of your 7-way is active this light can be used. It has a switch on the light too which allows you to turn it off and on as needed.

- Wiring Recommendation for the Pollak Metal 7-Pole # PK12703 For the Pollak Metal 7-Pole # PK12703 there isn't a harness that plugs into the back of it, but we do offer a jacketed 7-way wiring harness by the foot. For that you would want the part # DW04914-1. It's sold by the foot so you would need to order a quantity of it in the length you need.
view full answer... - How To Get 20ft Long 7-way Molded Trailer Connector for TrailerYou can put one together, but there isn't a pre-assembled 20 ft 7-way cord for your trailer. You'll need 20ft of # DW04914-1 (sold by the foot, so make quantity 20 to get 20 ft) and the Pollak 7-way # PK12706. I included a wiring diagram for you to make sure you get it all hooked up correctly.
