Will Breakaway Cables Weaken Over the Years and Shear Off  

Question:

I Understand that breakaway cables just need to be strong enough to actuate the lever, my concern is how strong will it be a few years down the line, will not shear off?

Expert Reply:

The breakaway system should only operate after both the coupling and the safety chains have failed. If maintained properly it should last the lifetime of your Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T4093200. Breakaway cables just need to be strong enough pull the lever on the coupler should the trailer come off the pintle.
