Video Transcript for Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable Review

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this Fastway breakaway cable. So this is gonna be a replacement part for the one that came with your breakaway switch. So if something happened, you lost it or it broke, you can easily replace it. Let's check it out. It's gonna plug in the exact same way here on our breakaway switch.

It's also that coil design, so that's better than the straight steel cable design 'cause those usually have extra to them that you have to find a place for, or they can sag down as they get it hooked up. With this coil design, when you've got it hooked up to the hitch, you can see it's gonna stay in a straight line and be outta the way of everything else. To give you a better example, I wanna compare you with straight steel cable one, and see it had to be zip tied to take up some of that extra cable, and that's just kind of annoying that you have to do that. That's why this one's far better with a coil design because you're not gonna have that problem or have to do this. Plus, you have this sturdy, heavy-duty carabiner at the end rather than just a steel cable loop.

This is a universal fit for breakaway switches as long as it's that style of end on there. And it's also gonna come in six foot and four foot options. So if you need to match that up with your vehicle set up and your trailer, you can. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helps.

  • Replacement Solution for UFP A-60 Breakaway Key and Cable
    The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR for disc or part # DX33FR for drum will work to replace both a UFP A-60 or A-75 Brake Actuator since we don't carry the UFP replacement breakaway setup. The A-60 is rated for 6K and the A-75 is rated for 7.5K. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator is rated for 7.5K. Now if you needed just the key we can help with that with part # DX94FR and then for just a cable part # FA80-01-2160.

  • Recommended Replacement Breakaway Cable For A Tie Down 70LP Brake Actuator
    Since breakaway cables themselves are universal you can use any cable you'd like. The pins themselves can be different however. With that being said, for a replacement cable check out the: -Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable - 6' Long # FA80-01-2160 for a replacement cable. This cable measures 6' long, is made from high strength woven steel, and is coated with a UV protective coating to prevent scratches and preserve the durability. Attached is an installation video for you...

  • Should the Breakaway Cable be Shorter or Longer Than the Safety Chains
    I would recommend that the breakaway cable be cut shorter than the safety chains/cables that way if the trailer were to come uncoupled from the hitch ball it would come to a stop without slamming into the back of the tow vehicle. For a breakaway switch cable I really like the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable part # FA80-01-2140 for 4' long or part # FA80-01-2160 for 6' long as the coiled design keeps it free from dragging or fraying. I have also attached a list of our safety...

  • Recommended Fastway Coiled Cable Breakaway Cable for 5th Wheel Trailer
    You can use either a 4 foot cable like # FA80-01-2140 or a 6 foot cable like # FA80-01-2160. Either will work well on a 5th wheel trailer. Where you mount the breakaway on the trailer will dictate the best location for you to allow trailer turning and also a quick engagement if your trailer were to breakaway from your tow vehicle. If you don't have the entire assembly, you can use # FA80-00-2040 for the 4 foot cable or # FA80-00-2060 for the 6 foot cable. I've attached an article...

  • How Long/Tight Should Breakaway Cable of Trailer be
    The best length for the cable of a breakaway system like the Fastway Cable # FA80-01-2160 that you referenced will be just a bit longer than the safety chains. The breakaway cable should be longer than the safety chains according to RVIA Recreational Vehicle Industry Association. This will activate the brakes in the event you lose the trailer connection and the safety chains fail which will bring the trailer to a stop.
