The Fastway Zip Trailer Breakaway Switch # FA80-00-2040 that you referenced has a 4 foot long cable.
The breakaway cable should be longer than the safety chains according to RVIA Recreational Vehicle Industry Association. This will activate the brakes in the event you lose the trailer connection and the safety chains fail.
