QWORK Breakaway Trailer Cable

QWORK Breakaway Trailer Cable 4 Pack are coiled, stainless-steel safety cables that extend to 4 feet to keep your trailer's emergency brake system connected and protected while towing.

When towing a trailer, a reliable breakaway cable is an essential safety accessory. The QWORK set includes four 4-foot coiled cables made from woven stainless steel and sheathed in UV-resistant polyurethane, designed to resist corrosion and abrasion while preventing the cable from dragging on the road. Each cable uses a spring-coiled profile that stays compact during normal towing but stretches when needed, and the included clip and split ring make attachment to hitch pins and tow vehicles straightforward.

How do these breakaway cables reduce the risk during towing?

These cables serve as a physical backup to engage a trailer's emergency braking system if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle. Their coiled shape and tough stainless-steel core maintain strength without creating excess slack that could catch or drag. The PU outer layer helps prevent fraying and resists sunlight damage so the cable stays reliable over time.

• Stainless-steel woven core for high tensile strength and corrosion resistance
• UV-resistant polyurethane jacket to prevent deterioration in sunlight
• Coiled design minimizes ground contact and tangling while extending up to 4 feet
• Simple split-ring and clip connections for quick attachment

What materials and construction features make the QWORK cables durable?

QWORK breakaway cables combine a woven steel core with a protective PU coating to balance strength and longevity. The steel provides the necessary tensile capacity to activate a breakaway actuator, while the polyurethane casing offers abrasion resistance and shields the metal from moisture and salt. Together these elements reduce the chance of corrosion and mechanical wear during regular use.

• Woven steel core resists stretching and snapping under load
• PU outer sheath guards against abrasion, moisture, and UV exposure
• Stainless-steel components lower corrosion risk in wet conditions
• Quality clips and split rings for secure connections to pins and hooks

How easy is it to install and use the coiled tow cable?

Installation is quick and intuitive: attach the split ring to the hitch pin or breakaway pin, stretch the coiled cable and clip the carabiner into the tow vehicle's anchor point. The compact coil stays out of the way during travel and returns to its coiled form when not extended. This reduces noise, drag, and the chance of the cable becoming snagged on road debris.

• Attach split ring to hitch or breakaway pin in seconds
• Hook carabiner into tow vehicle anchor or designated point
• Coil retracts when not under tension to avoid ground contact
• Pack of four provides spares or covers multiple trailers

What sizes and compatibility should I expect with this set?

Each cable in the QWORK pack extends up to four feet when pulled and remains compact otherwise. The clip and ring hardware are standard sizes designed for common trailer pins and anchor points; however, verify your trailer's breakaway pin and vehicle anchor dimensions to ensure a perfect fit. This set is suitable for RVs, utility trailers, boat trailers, and other hitch-towed equipment that use mechanical breakaway systems.

• Each cable extends up to 4 ft (coiled when relaxed)
• Standard split ring and clip fit most trailer pins and anchors
• Sold as a pack of four for multiple trailers or spare use
• Recommended for RVs, utility trailers, boat trailers and similar towed loads

Who is this for? The QWORK Breakaway Trailer Cable 4 Pack is aimed at drivers who tow trailers regularly and want a compact, corrosion-resistant safety cable that stays tidy while delivering the strength needed to trigger a breakaway brake system. It suits RV owners, boaters, landscapers, and anyone with a utility trailer who needs reliable emergency-braking connectivity and easy, fast installation.
