Today we're going to take a look at the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables, with the 5,000 pound per cable capacity. Sold as a quantity of two. Part number is BX88196. Now here's what our cables are going to look like. As you can see, they've got that nice, coiled design. This is going to allow for expansion, so we can reach out, get both ends connected, but then it's going to pull back to keep these up off the ground. The cable itself is aircraft grade material.
See the nice reinforcements around there. Then the cables themselves rubber-coated, so we're not going to have to worry about that cable corroding or scuffing up the actual tow bar. Now these keepers are nice. Once we're hooked up, we won't have to worry about them accidentally coming unhooked. I'm going just going to go right around the safety chain connection points of our hitch there.
Slide those keepers on. Then we like to cross them. Come over here. The size is really going to allow us to connect on to just about any style safety chain connection point. These are great for replacement of already existing safety chains, or just to give yourself a little extra security when it comes to towing your vehicle behind your motor home. It's really all there is too it.
As you can see, plenty of room there. They're not hanging down like the chain style that you typically see where they'd be hitting the ground, making sparks, and anywhere that it might come in contact, we're not going to have to worry about any of that scuffing or anything like that. That's going to complete our look at the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables with the 5,000 pound per cable capacity. Part number is BX88196.

Great product. I've towed the car behind my RV several times and have peace of mind that if something breaks, I've got great cables to prevent further damage to my car and other vehicles on the road. Thankfully I've haven't had to put them to the test, and I hope I never do. 711854
Needed a replacement set of safety cables for my towbar and etrailer had just what I needed, at a fair price and with efficient delivery. 711566
I have purchased from etrailer in the past. Easy ordering process and rapid delivery. Their products are well made and reliable. I won’t shop for my RV products anywhere else 688320
Cables are heavy duty and well made. Springs on hook are strong and will not come apart. Coils will not drag like my old cables. 666990
