The Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter 7-Way to 5-Way Flat with Nite-Glow # HM47025 actually has 5 wires. This adapter takes a trailer-side 7-way plug and mates it to a 5-pole flat connector. All 5 pins on the 5-pole are connected at the 7-way side but a 12V power feed and trailer brake circuit are NOT supported. Two pins on the 7-way are inactive.

If you need 7-wire jacketed cable we offer Deka # DW04914-1 which is sold by the foot and that has no connectors included. Or if you need a 7-way with the trailer-side plug wired in we offer part # H20046 which is 8-feet long. It is usually easiest to wire in an item like this by using a junction box such as # 38656.

Note that the wire function assignments on the # H20046 plug are shown in the linked image.
