Nice device. It is way better than the coated wire breakaway cable that came with the travel trailer. Bought a second one as a spare.

It didnt plug directly into either break-away I have. One is a Hopkins Engager. The other is a Teekonsha. Nothing that wasn’t easily fixed with a strong key ring.

I didn't work as expected. It was the wrong type to fit into my breakaway switch. I wish they were of a standard type.
I will be using it in the future with a compatible switch on another trailer.

I cannot yet figure out how to remove the plunger pin from the old ASCO breakaway switch to allow this one to be inserted. I will likely be returning it.

Very simple item all trailers should have - complements safety cables like C80176 - Replaced both the original safety chains and breakaway cables on two new trailers. The convenience is well worth it.........

The Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable was exactly what I needed to replace the standard breakaway cable which started to become worn. This cable should stay completely out of the way for as long as I own this trailer.

Replaced the standard cable with this one. Really like that it has a carabiner instead of a simple loop, doesn't dangle close to the road, and has a high visibility protective coating.
It's much less likely that I would forget to disconnect it, which is why I needed to replace the original in the first place!

This coiled cable is so much easier to use than the wire our emergency brake switch came with. No tangles and so slipping around the safety chains

Coiled cord when extended is a little shorter than I thought it would be. However, overall happy with the product. Definitely a neater solution than dragging the wire rope all over that I had before.
Very fast delivery and good customer service follow up from Martha O!

Much nicer than the original flimsy wire.
Wish they had used an aluminum carabiner to save weight (hangs low enough that it might drag), and to avoid the rust that eventually will happen.

- What Breakaways Does The Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin Work With? Hello Brady, thanks for reaching out. The Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin # FA80-01-2204 will work with breakaways from Fastway and Bargman. I don't have a complete list of all the part numbers but it should work with any breakaway from those brands. The Bright Way kits actually use a slightly different pin so for that I'd recommend the Replacement Cable and Pin for Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kits # 3802350 since it will be directly compatible. What kind of...
view full answer... - Is Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable the Correct Breakaway for my Camper?Happy to help Roy, good question! Unfortunately, I can't confirm fitment by the model of camper but I can tell you the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 is designed to work with all Fastway ZIP breakaway switches and most Bargman pin style breakaway switches. If your trailer has a different brand of breakaway switch, I'd be happy to verify compatibility if you can provide the manufacturer and model number. What tow vehicle are you using?
view full answer... - Replacement Breakaway Cable for a Fastway Zip Trailer Breakaway SwitchYes, we do! We have two options and the difference between the two is the length of the safety cable. I have listed them below: 6' Long - Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin item # FA80-01-2206 4' Long - Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin item # FA80-01-2204
view full answer... - Correct Length of Breakaway Cable for my Artic Fox 22GBasically in some towing setups when you make a sharp turn you can as you said stretch the cable going to the breakaway switch with the 48" standard length breakaway cable. If it were to be pulled to much during a turn it could pull out of the breakaway switch and cause you trailer brakes to lock up. If you are experiencing any tension on that cable at all during turns switch to the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable part # FA80-01-2206 this is 6' long and will help to ensure you...
view full answer... - Replacement Coiled Breakaway Cable Options For A 2020 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 19FDSince you have a 4' breakaway cable any 4' coiled cable can be used. You can use the Fastway # FA80-01-2204, which will come with the plunger as well or the Fastway # FA80-01-2140 if you're plunger is still is good shape, you'll just hook the split ring on the cable end through the hole on the back of the plunger to connect the two together and the carabiner can be attached to the tow loops on your hitch when towing. I've attached videos below for both of these cables to show you how they...
view full answer... - Installation of Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway CableYes, the Fastway Zip Coiled Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 has the pin that inserts into the switch. When you pull the pin out of the breakaway system it will engage the brakes. Then after inserting the new pin they will disengage. Doing this with the trailer plugged into the truck can cause a back feed to the brake controller and possibly damaging it. So make the switch with the trailer disconnected from the truck. When towing you'll connect the cable to your tow vehicle using the...
view full answer... - Replacement Pin Recommendation for Fastway Weight Distribution SystemThe only replacement pin I can recommend for a Hopkins breakaway kit is the part # HM20012. If you wanted the coiled design of the Fastway kit you'd need to replace the switch too with the part # FA80-00-2040 and you'd be set. While the pins aren't all universal between brands we've found that the switches are.
view full answer... - Is There A DOT Regulation For The Strength Of Carabiners In A Brakeaway System?I am not aware of any type of DOT regulation regarding the strength of a carabiner on a brakeaway system. We install brakeaway systems like the # FA80-01-2204 here at our shop in Missouri very frequently and this has never come up as an issue. In general, the only regulation for a brakeaway is that it must be sufficient to apply the trailer brakes for at least 15 minutes if pulled. All of the brakeaway cables and carabiners we carry will be of sufficient strength for this purpose.
view full answer... - Trailer Brake Breakaway Switch & CableSince your travel trailer has onboard house batteries, the break away brake will be powered by those. To replace the breakaway switch and/or cable I recommend the Fastway # FA80-00-2040 which includes the tongue mounted switch. If you have the switch and only need the lanyard I recommend the Fastway # FA80-01-2204. I have this same line attached to my travel trailer. I like that the coiled line keeps it away from the ground and the large carabiener clip makes it each to hook on to the...
view full answer... - Can the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 be Used for a 5th WheelSince the Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable # FA80-01-2204 is basically a universal fit I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it for a 5th wheel application.
