Today we're going to be taking a look at part number FA80-00-2040. This is the Fastway Zip trailer breakaway switch with the coiled cable. The coiled cable's going to measure four feet long. Now, the breakaway switch is going to wire into your trailer's break system to provide a peace of mind. What it does is if the trailer becomes uncoupled or disconnected, the cord that's attached to the tow vehicle will pull the pin from the breakaway switch, which would then activate your trailer's brakes, bringing the trailer to an eventual stop. The coiled cable is a nice feature to have. You don't have to worry about that dragging on the ground.
Self retracts for easy storage. You don't have to worry about frayed ends, and you don't have to worry about looping the cable around the trailer tongue. It's going to stay nice and compact. Whatever slack is in the cable, the coil design's going to take up that slack again so you don't have to wrap it around your trailer tongue or secure it in any other way. The included carabiner on the end of the coiled cable makes for really easy connection to the tow vehicle. The cable's going to be a high-strength cable.
It's going to be made of woven steel, and it's going to have the UV protective coating that's going to booster ability, and it's also going to be scratch resistant. Now, right here on the bottom of the switch we're going to have the mounting bracket. That's going to feature a quarter-inch-diameter hole, that way you can easily get it secured to the trailer frame. Again, the coiled cable length is going to be about four feet long when fully stretched out. On this side right here, you're going to have the wiring. One wire's going to get connected to the 12-volt power source, the other wire's going to get connected to the brake controller output from the tow vehicle.
That wiring's going to measure about 47 inches long. The bracket itself, this is going to give us an overall length of about four and one-quarter of an inch, and the bracket's going to give us a width of about an inch and a half. That's going to do it for today's review of part number FA80-00-2040.

Looks like a very good product. However, I like the ability to disconnect the spring cord at the unit when it’s not in use. This cord is permanently affixed. I can modify it, but would prefer not to have to. 485396

This break away switch is well built, easy to test. I should have bought 2, I need one for my other trailer. No more finger pricks with the cable, The plastic coating and the coiled cable should help and keep it out of the way and protected. 431289

Thank you 431206

Very easy to install and much better than the stock super long cable. I have to imagine this will work much better than the long straight cable that was looped through the chains. Totally happy with the product. 576360

Purchased this breakaway switch to replace a bad one on my gooseneck trailer. Product is much better quality than the factory switch I replaced and was very easy to install. Hope to never have to use it for its intended purpose, but it tests good every time I connect my trailer and pull the pin to check for proper operation. The coiled lanyard cable is a really good feature and assured that the cable does not get tangled in other components and possibly activating the brakes. 582326

This product is as described, I liked it because it has the ability to swivel back under the bumper when not in use and it came with everything I needed to wire and connect a breakaway switch. 394783

It's super-handy to have the coiled cable, although I had to replace the carabiner with something smaller. The cable is rather long and I have to loop it back and attach it to the coupler latch. I do love the cable not getting in the way of anything. 388305

My whole order came in quick and all seems to be great quality. Can't wait to get everything installed 378592

Been on the trailer for a year. Luckily I've never needed it, but it's showing no external wear. Cable and clip are still like new and the mount is solid. 364121

Great direct replacement breakaway switch with easy installation. Fast shipment and competitive pricing from etrailer makes this an even more obvious choice. 276906
