Installing trailer brake controllers can often be a tangled mess with wires running everywhere. The Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire streamlines this process by bundling two heavy-duty 10-gauge wires into a single jacket. This design not only makes the installation quick and easy by having both wires in the same robust plastic jacket but also protects the wires from damage and ensures they remain tangle-free. No more fumbling with multiple wire runs — everything you need is in one streamlined package.
Running trailer brake wires under vehicles exposes them to the elements and potential abrasion. This duplex wire is covered in high-quality, durable plastic insulation rated to withstand temperatures up to 105 degrees Celsius and voltages up to 50 volts as per SAE J1128 specifications, ensuring that your wiring remains intact under extreme conditions. The sturdy jacket is resilient against heat and debris, so you can trust your wiring to perform consistently without wear or tear, especially critical when you're towing heavy loads.
Simplifying the wiring process is a must for quick and easy installation, and that's where color-coded insulation comes in. With distinct coloring for each conductor, connecting the brake wire to the correct terminals becomes intuitive, reducing installation time and minimizing the chance of errors. This wiring solution ensures that even novice DIY enthusiasts can wire up their trailers confidently and efficiently.
In trailer setups, source wiring for both the brakes and an auxiliary power supply can be cumbersome. By incorporating both functions into a single cable, this 10-gauge duplex brake wire allows simultaneous connections to the brake controller for power transmission to the trailer brakes and to the vehicle battery for an auxiliary power supply. It's an all-in-one solution that simplifies your wiring needs, reducing complexity and promoting cleaner installations without sacrificing functionality.
Proper voltage levels are critical for effective trailer braking, and oversized wires mean more amperage and better performance. While some brake systems use smaller, 16-gauge wires, using this 10-gauge option ensures optimal power delivery and responsive brake activation. This added capacity guarantees your electric brakes perform reliably, significantly improving safety during towing by ensuring full power reaches your trailer brakes whenever needed.
Every trailer setup is unique, requiring different lengths of wiring. With this brake wire being sold per foot, you can purchase precisely the amount you need for your specific installation. Whether you're working with a long trailer or a compact vehicle setup, this customizable option prevents waste and saves money while ensuring you have enough wire to complete the job without unnecessary excess.

Today we're going to take a look at the Decca jacketed 2 wire 10 gauge brake wire and this is sold per foot. I have a sample here, this is just to show you that this combination of the 2 heavy duty 10 gauge wires. They're jacketed individually and then all together. It's perfect for when installing a trailer brake controller on your vehicle. The 10 gauge duplex brake wire made with the 2 plastic insulated primary wires are laid parallel and the wires are covered with this high quality plastic jacket that protects the insulated conductors. The conductors are color coded for easy identification.
You can see a white and a black. This does meet all the SAEJ1128 specifications up to 50 volts and the insulation is rated to 105 degrees Celsius. Basically what this is used for is one wire is connected to your brake controller which carries the power back from the trailer brakes while the other is connected directly to the vehicle battery for an auxiliary power supply pin in the trailer connector. What's nice is having both of these wires in the same jacket. It makes running them from the back to the front of the vehicle very quick and easy.
That should do it for the review of the Decca jacketed 2 wire 10 gauge brake wire and this is sold per foot.
