6 foot Zip Break-Away Cable keeps the cable off the ground and out of harm's way while you are towing. And when you are not towing, the cable easily clips to itself and stays out of the way, instead of dangling all over the front of the trailer. Coiled Cable can stretch up to 6 feet Long. Breakaway switch wires into your trailer's brake system to provide peace of mind. If trailer becomes uncoupled, the cord attached to your tow vehicle will pull the pin from the switch, activating your trailer's brakes. UV protective coating on cable bossts durability and is scratch resistant. Hitch-strength cable is made of woven steel. Carabiner included makes it easy to clip the cord to your tow vehicle.
