Today, we're going to review part number 12-2-1. This is the Deka Jacketed 12 Gauge 2 Wire Brake Wire. This is sold per foot. This duplex brake wire is made with 2 plastic insulated primary wires right here. You can see it at the end. They are laid parallel and they are covered with this high quality plastic jacket which protects the insulated conductors.
Now each conductor is color coated. You can see black and white. Usually when this is used on brake applications, the black would be your power, the white would be your ground. It gives nice, easy identification. This is designed for use with 50 volts or less. Now each wire gauge is a 12 gauge measurement and this wire is sold per foot.
As you can see right here, I do have 1 foot pulled off but you can order as many feet as you'd like. That should do it for the review on part number 12-2-1. This is the Deka Jacketed 12 Gauge 2 Wire Brake Wire sold per foot. .
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (229 Customer Reviews)
Received the items quickly but box and contents were damaged due to poor packaging, wheel bearings were put in a plastic bag and attached to the brake drums which when the load shifted around the 2 brake drums would contact each other and smash into the attached wheel bearing’s and damage them rendering them unusable, now I’ve got my trailer sitting on jack stands with the hubs removed waiting for a claim to be processed so I can get some new wheel bearings shipped to me so I can put everything back together. Come on guys you need to do better at packing things up.

Perfect for my trailer. The wire arrived on time and I’m very satisfied with Etrailer
Awesome company to do business with
High quality wire. Has 12 gauge brake wire to supply full voltage to electric brakes.
I am giving two stars, vs one star, because they did send what was ordered in a timely manner. That said, I will never order from etraler again. The complete lack of thought and concern for packaging the order was shocking. Two brake drum kits (we are talking at least 75 pounds total) were thrown into a larger box, along with 100' of loose brake wire and 4 un-packaged or boxed grease seals. There was zero protective packaging and the actual shipping box was of the same gauge/weight as the boxes the drums came in....medium duty corrugated cardboard at best. Needless to say, the shipping box was semi-opened when it arrived, and 3 of the 4 grease seals were missing. This whole situation was/is unacceptable.
Great product at a very reasonable price.
Super fast shipping.Order arrived at my shop without a scratch.
I am a new customer to etrailer and I will be a returning customer.
Thank you etrailer and the super customer service.
Product found as described.
I Used this cable to connect the electric brakes to the 7 way connector on my trailer. The wires were all color-coded for easy identification.
TomD - 07/24/2020Used this wire to go from front of vehicle to rear, one conductor for the 12-Volt power, the other for the electric brake control.
Chiefh - 11/03/2020 Chiefh - 11/03/2020This wiring has held up phenomenally over the past year of installation. I have been underneath the vehicle changing parts and have inspected the insulation jacket while there. Everything looks as good as the day I installed it after a full year of use in Central New York weather. Would highly recommend.
Gregory S - 08/14/2021I've ordered a number of items from etrailer, and in every instance my order arrived promptly, on time and in good shape. I'd recommend etrailer to anyone, there is no shortage of mediocre companies on the internet, ETRAILER IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Thanks

Customer service rep was very knowledgeable and outstanding
Was what I expected. Service was good and got here fast
etrailer has been my “go to” for a few years now. Communication is always a top priority and their customer service is second to none! Regarding this Echo, I use it all the time when pulling with our 2019 Subaru Accent and often use it on other vehicles that have older/delayed brake controllers.
It is so nice to have wire that I know will be heavy enough and durable enough to actuate brakes to stop a tilt bed trailer with a tracked bobcat and accessories, about 11K pounds. The weenie wire that it replaced made me nervous every time I took the trailer out. Works well. I actually extended it to the second axle and capped it off to use on a future set of brakes for that axle (which I will certainly get from etrailer!)
I needed to retrofit my twp axel trailer to get it state inspected. I bought everything I needed from etrailer. I love one stop shopping! I was very pleased with the delivery time and the high quality of parts I bought. The brakes work like a charm. The only thing that I would suggest for the company is to recommend break away automatic braking device when selling these brakes. It was required by law in Pa and I had to buy an automatic brake locally.
I would do business with these folks any day. I highly recommend.
Excellent quality and strength. Why skimp on something as important as your hitch? I have purchased three of these Draw Tites - I guess a repeat customer will scream about the true quality a company can garner from repeat customers. When you pull show cars worth six figures, you can't afford a poorly made hitch.
Step up, step out, and don't fret what you are pulling.
E trailer did a fantastic job.
Before order: Technical support / help was excellent.
Goal, conversion of a 1998 Floe snowmobile trailer from surge to electric brakes.
Problem, due to time and corrosion, I could only supply partial part numbers, spindle diameter.
etrailer did a fantastic job, researching, and getting me the correct part numbers, so I could order.
Julie did a great job.
She was very timely, communicated clearly and honestly, and just “kept me in the loop”.
I received the order came on the projected date, complete and undamaged. Excellent.
I would highly recommend etrailer, for your part needs.
I wanted a jacketed wiring for a snowmobile trailer brakes to protect from the elements. Initially thought it was a little expensive, however it's a quality product and I appreciate being able to buy it by the foot.
This is high-quality 12-gauge stranded wire of a size appropriate for single-axle trailer brakes, though it only carries the current for one magnet (over from the other side). That other side uses the 10-gauge size of this wire up to the tow vehicle plug. This wire has a high-quality outer protective sheathing to resist abrasion and weathering. Remember to solder and weatherproof all your splices! Wire nuts or Scotch-Locs are not appropriate for use in trailer brakes systems!
Used this cable to run power from a voltage reducer to an LED light bar on a 48V golf cart. Fit the bill of what I needed, looks to be good jacket, insulation and wire quality. Installed about 10 months ago and no issues.
