Does Dexter Electric over Hydraulic Adapter Affect Standard Electric Brake Performance

Question

Question:

My understanding that the Dexter Electric over Hydraulic controller will not work with my 2016 Chevy factory brake controller. The Dexter module PNK58-036-00 will be needed to make the system work. Question is will the Dexter module work with my other trailers that have just electric brakes?

The Dexter adapter part # DX35FR would be the correct adapter you need and also would not affect the performance of standard electric brakes as well.
