Expert Reply:
The highest rated safety cables we have are the Demco Straight Safety Cables # DM9523051 which measure 54" long and are rated for 14,000 lbs. For something rated at the 16,000lb weight limit you need chains like the Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks # 49150.
Standard 5th wheel trailers don't require safety chains so you will only need them if you're using an adapter like the Reese Goose Box RP94716 that uses that gooseneck ball connection.
