⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT - Legally Required in Australia

Genuine AL-KO breakaway cable (safety cable) designed to activate your trailer's brakes if the coupling becomes disconnected while towing. This essential safety device is legally required in Australia and could prevent a runaway trailer accident.

Key Specifications:

  • Brand: AL-KO (Genuine OEM or compatible)
  • Part Number: S-COPT-8030-P-N
  • Type: Looped/snap hook version
  • Application: Overrun brake couplings

How Breakaway Cables Work:

The breakaway cable connects your trailer's coupling to your tow vehicle. If the trailer becomes disconnected (due to coupling failure, hitch failure, or accidental release), the cable pulls tight and activates the trailer's brakes, bringing it to a controlled stop. This prevents the trailer from rolling freely and causing a serious accident.

Why This Is Critical:

  • Legal Requirement: Breakaway cables are mandatory under Australian trailer regulations
  • Safety: Prevents runaway trailers that could cause serious accidents, injuries, or fatalities
  • Property Protection: Stops your trailer from rolling into traffic, buildings, or other vehicles
  • Peace of Mind: Provides backup safety if coupling fails
  • Insurance: Required for compliance with insurance policies

Features:

  • Looped/snap hook design for secure attachment
  • High-strength cable construction
  • Designed for AL-KO overrun brake systems
  • Weather-resistant materials
  • Meets Australian safety standards

Compatibility:

Designed for AL-KO overrun brake couplings on Brian James trailers and other trailers equipped with AL-KO mechanical brake systems.

When to Replace:

Inspect your breakaway cable regularly and replace immediately if you notice:

  • Fraying, kinking, or damage to the cable
  • Corrosion or wear on the fittings
  • Any signs of stretching or deformation
  • After any incident where the cable was activated
  • As part of annual safety inspection

⚠️ Safety Warning: Never tow without a properly functioning breakaway cable. A damaged or missing cable is illegal and extremely dangerous. This small investment could save lives.

Installation Note: Attach securely to both the coupling and tow vehicle. Ensure cable has enough slack for normal turning but will activate if trailer disconnects. Test operation regularly. Professional installation recommended if unsure.
