Replacement lanyard cable that connects your tow vehicle to your trailer's breakaway switch, activating your trailer brakes automatically if the trailer separates from your vehicle during travel.
Nobody hitches up a trailer expecting a breakaway, but that doesn't mean you should tow unprepared. For any trailer with electric trailer brakes, a Curt breakaway kit provides the equipment you need to be ready for the unexpected. This lanyard connects your tow vehicle to your trailer's breakaway switch, and if the cable is pulled taut and released during an accidental disconnect, it activates the trailer's brakes automatically.
This particular lanyard is made specifically to fit the Curt breakaway switch #52010, and it's also compatible when used as part of a complete Curt breakaway system. It features 48" of cable with a high-temp nylon pull, a length that accommodates most vehicle-trailer combinations. Every Curt breakaway kit is tested for safety and meets DOT requirements for holding and breakaway situations.
