This combination of 2 heavy-duty 10-gauge wires, jacketed individually and then together, is perfect for installing a trailer brake controller on a vehicle.
Features:
One wire is connected to the brake controller, which carries the power back for the trailer brakes, while the other is connected directly to the vehicle battery for an auxiliary power supply pin in the trailer connector.
Having both wires in the same jacket makes running them from the back to the front of the vehicle quick and easy.

Today we're going to take a look at the Decca jacketed 2 wire 10 gauge brake wire and this is sold per foot. I have a sample here, this is just to show you that this combination of the 2 heavy duty 10 gauge wires. They're jacketed individually and then all together. It's perfect for when installing a trailer brake controller on your vehicle. The 10 gauge duplex brake wire made with the 2 plastic insulated primary wires are laid parallel and the wires are covered with this high quality plastic jacket that protects the insulated conductors. The conductors are color coded for easy identification.
You can see a white and a black. This does meet all the SAEJ1128 specifications up to 50 volts and the insulation is rated to 105 degrees Celsius. Basically what this is used for is one wire is connected to your brake controller which carries the power back from the trailer brakes while the other is connected directly to the vehicle battery for an auxiliary power supply pin in the trailer connector. What's nice is having both of these wires in the same jacket. It makes running them from the back to the front of the vehicle very quick and easy.
That should do it for the review of the Decca jacketed 2 wire 10 gauge brake wire and this is sold per foot.

This combination of 2 heavy-duty 10-gauge wires, jacketed individually and then together, is perfect for installing a trailer brake controller on a vehicle.This was exactly what I needed for the electric brakes on my trailer
The part recommendation worked great for the wiring of my 7 pin adaptor.
Although shipping took longer than anticipated everything bolted on a d took me about 4 hrs to do the job..quality parts and great value. Got my electric brakes on and legal for inspection
The products I purchased have preformed excellent thank you E.Trailer
Amazing and professional service! I had to keep myself from completing the job too fast and rushing through steps. Attention to details is a must when working with electrical systems and with some patience I was happy to say I completed a successful job. I will be a repeat customer!
Randy - 06/05/2020These things are major time-savers! Bolt the whole assembly on, wire it up, and go! Can't beat the price either - would cost quite a bit more buying the parts individually. Made a huge difference in stopping power on my 18' Dively car hauler, 9990 GVWR. The brakes were 6 years old at the time, and had tens of thousands of miles on them - abusive miles too, with shoes seizing and dragging, electrical failures causing some to work 3x as hard as others, stop and go MA traffic, etc. While I was at it, I also grabbed 30' of Deka jacketed 2-wire 10 gauge brake wiring, and redid the whole system from the plug back. I also removed the drums, had them turned at a local garage, and installed brand new bearings, races, & seals. The improvement in stopping power was nothing short of amazing. I went from having my Tekonsha P3 on boost level 3 at 11 volts +, trailer UNLOADED, to running boost level 1 at 6 volts with 4,000 lbs. on the 2k lb. trailer! BIG difference in stopping power!
Smitty S - 11/05/2017Arrived quickly and works perfectly. Used to to wire my brake control for my van/tent trailer.
Hello, this is my second order from the guys at etrailer.com, and let me tell you they ship SUPER FAST, and the constantly keep communicating about your order. These guys don't play around, hats off to y'all. This product worked out great, i did have to cut about 1/3 of the 10ga wire though to get it to fit in my Bargman 7-way. But at least i wont get a current drop though. Very nice insulation jacket too. (Not the hard plastic crap) thanks again guys for great customer service
Michael F - 04/01/2015etrailer products and service are excellent! With their helpful videos and staff (plus a little help from Curt Manufacturing and our teardrop trailer manufacturer (CampInn)) I was able to install electric brakes on the trailer, and a controller in my vehicle by myself. I had never installed electric brakes before. Everything works perfectly!
This item was recommended to use with electric brakes. Made sense. When arrived, I found that the wire was to large to fit in the axle tubes and trailer conduit. Recommend that you check to make sure it fits before buying. The product is high quality, and would work great for the application if it fit.
Patrick P - 10/11/2017Bought to redo brakes on a enclosed car hauler. Very nice wire.
Not much to say. If you need two wires in the same jacket, this is for you. Otherwise, automotive-supply stores have these as single wire for less and no shipping delay.
I used this product to add the brakes and 12 volt power supply in a pickup that had just the basic 6-wire trailer package. The two 10 gauge insulated wires are surrounded by a sheath which adds extra protection against the elements. Having the two wires bound together by the outer sheath makes it easier to install from engine compartment to 7-pin connector on rear bumper rather than fighting two, individual automotive primary wires. Also, price (with shipping) was less than getting two individual primary wires from the local auto parts store. Used about 5 zip ties to secure the wire to chassis. Worked like a charm. Of great help was the following etrailer video: https://www.etrailer.com/faq-cbc.aspx
This wire has a great insulation covering that covers both wires in addition to the individual insulation of each wire. I am not actually using this on a trailer, but using it for the power connection on a box that I am building to test trailer wiring, lights and the trailer brakes. I wanted a 2 conductor 10 gauge wire and thought that with the heavy outer insulation, it would help protect the wire from damage with repeated coiling and uncoiling the wire for connecting to a 12 volt battery.
Am following the advise from your video to use the 10 ga wire for brake hook up. The jacketed 2 wire is heavy duty to say the least. The gauge of the wire on the brakes is not 10 ga which makes me wonder if the 10 ga is necessary. But I have it, it is high quality, and I will use it shortly.
Everything was as advertised, and thank you Kaylyn R for your wonderful customer service. It took awhile to get everything installed, because of crazy events in the past year, but it all works great!
My tow vehicle does not have factory connections for trailer wiring. Used this cable for trailer brakes and auxillary power. This cable is just what I needed to run from rear to front of my vehicle on the underside. The sheathing protects the wire from the elements. The shipping was quick.
Richard - 12/26/2014Just over a year since purchase and installation, these cables I used for my brake setup for my 16ft utility trailer have not shown a sign of wear nor have they malfunctioned after I’ve towed through some nasty terrain. Very durable!
seems to be very good quality wire
The only reason I do not give you 5 stars is because your web site. When internet ordering, it should instantly state when a part is out of stock. Even nicer would be expected restocking dates. The parts received were exactly what I ordered for my electric brake conversion from surge brakes at far less expense than reparing the internally rusted surge brake system. There was a plethora of information on your web site to assist me in ordering the correct parts for the conversion. Plus there were videos to see how to complete the conversion and how parts were installed and adjusted. Customer service was excellent.
Fast shipping, great service
Performed as expected. etrailer seems to be the only place to get 10 gauge duplex wire in less than 100’ spools. If you are wiring a break controler on a newer outback get more than 15 feet though. I came up short. At least 20 feet is needed the way I routed it.
Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable
Item was great and fast shipping always buy from here with the best deals
