Today we're going to be taking a look at the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable with the included Plunger Pin. The coiled design is going to keep your breakaway cable from dragging on the ground, so you don't have to worry about any frayed ends. There's no need to loop the cable around the trailer tongue to keep it away from the ground. Overall, the coiled cable's going to offer a better, cleaner look. This is a nearly universal fit. It's going to work as a replacement cable for Fastway, Bargman, and most other pin style trailer breakaway systems.
The plunger pin is included with the unit. It's also going to include a carabiner clip on this side. That's going to make it very easy to clip the cable to your tow vehicle. The cable itself is a high strength cable. It's made of woven steel. It has a UV protective coating that's going to boost your ability.
It's scratch resistant, meaning that it's not going to scratch anything that it comes into contact with. When it's all the way stretched out, this is going to have a measurement of up to six feet long. That's going to do it for today's look at the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable with the included Plunger Pin.

Very happy with the cable after owning for a year. Would recommend frequent inspections of the cable to assure that it is not nicked or chaffed from rubbing against the hitch. Given the role this cable plays in towing a trailer safely, I would recommend replacing the cable if it does become worn or nicked. 674898
Doug F - 07/25/2020Bought this as a replacement for the standard cable that came with the trailer, it was worn out and I just purchased a Hensley arrow (hitch set up) so that extended the tongue by a foot. This is the 6’ version so fits well and it coils right up and stays out of the way. Great product 584156
Great prices and communication from company. Will buy again 790810

The 14" long Reese Weight Distribution Shank is exactly what I needed to install hitch mounted mud flaps. The shank provided by Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Hitch was too short for that purpose, see photos. The Reese shank is solid and well made. Shipping was fast and online purchase was easy. 722386
I bought this to go between my Motor home and towed vehicle. The product works great only issue I have is the plug in is a little bit bigger than the break away switch that I have attached to my car already. I'm going to attempt to file it down so it fits in there a little bit better. Other than that I would have given it 5 stars. 711423
Exactly what I needed to get the breakaway system back in working order for our travel trailer. Thanks and as always, fast delievery. 553177
Works as described 552122
Simple part that makes hooking my 5er easier and cleaner. The clamp is good size but I had to get a larger one to fit the floor anchors. Not the parts fault, otherwise nice product. 504788
Fast shipping and just what I was needing. I will be ordering from etrailer for all my rv needs for sure. 495569
Great product. Well made. Prevents need for modification of old self-coiling break away cable that was too long and dragged on the road if left unmodified. Well with the small investment. 427018
I've always liked etrailer products and their prices are the best around. 409056
Bill C - 07/22/2018Works great. 390423
A great replacement for the fixed-length factory cable that is difficult to route without entangling the safety chains. The coiled cable stays taught and safely out of the way. 383054

The breakaway cable was delivered fast and efficiently. It was easy to mount to the trailer and just have to test it by hooking the van to the trailer to see if I ordered the correct size. It comes in a 4 ft and 6 ft size. The new breakaway cable that is coiled should solve the dragging problem the old non coiled cable created. 389360

Initial order was for a 4 foot long cable. Discovered that it was stretched way too tight. Ordered the 6 foot long cable, works just fine. Measure the distance before ordering. But it is more convenient that the original cable. 607791

Just received my coil breakaway cable, I bought a new trailer in less than 4 months my cable snapped . The breakaway cable is perfect because it does not drag and will not get caught under trailer jack going up driveways. The only concern I have is the thickness of the breakaway cable seams awful thin, but I'm sure it has been thoroughly tested. 446454

Review from a similar Coiled Breakway Cable in Accessories and Parts
Went with the 4' model. As with most things I am never near or around what I am trying to order for when I am in the ordering something mindset. I think this will work out. Line is close to tight when fully extended to where it needs to hook up, so we will see after the first outing if this length is good or I need the 6'. Install was easy. Just cut the old wire off and looped the keyring through the existing loop on the breakaway controller. 553131
Review from a similar Coiled Breakway Cable in Accessories and Parts
We had a plastic coated aircraft cable that was OEM on our amusement trailer. Unfortunately, the cable was far too long, drug the roadway and eventually broke. As a prior customer of etrailer.com, I looked here first for just such a piece of safety equipment. It was exactly what we needed, stays up and out of the way when not attached to our tow vehicle. It was easier than trying to build a replacement cable! the cable is built solidly, the split ring is beefier than you'd think by looking at just the photos and the carabiner clip locks securely onto our tow vehicle. Shipping, as usual with etrailer.com, was lightning fast. My overall experience, with this and other purchases, has always been excellent. I even got to visit the warehouse for a pick-up on a trip in Feb, 2014! The folks are as nice in person as they are over the phone, through email or even online chat help. 265527

Tiny easy solution to a potential big problem. My cable was crumbled and frayed. This replacement was secure but easy to attach. Still looks good a year later. Also, stores against itself so no need to wind it around anything. Should last awhile. Highly recommend. 868661
