If a trailer separates from its towing vehicle while underway, this breakaway cable pulls free and activates the trailer's brakes automatically, helping prevent a runaway trailer. The assembly includes one breakaway cable and one carabiner clasp with hook, ready to attach to the actuator; all other actuator components are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is durable steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in wet, road-salt, and marine-adjacent towing environments. The cable and hook are sized to work with Model 60 surge actuators, making this a straightforward swap when an existing breakaway cable is frayed, stretched, corroded, or missing its hook. At 0.46 pounds, it is a lightweight, low-cost safety component that is easy to keep as a spare in a tow vehicle or trailer parts kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 068-188-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Breakaway Cable Assembly, Model 60 W\/ Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 breakaway cable assembly, 1 carabiner clasp with hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Actuator Model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model 60 surge actuator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eModel 60 surge actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Dexter 068-188-00 breakaway cable assembly do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It connects a trailer's surge actuator to the tow vehicle so that if the trailer disconnects while towing, the cable pulls free and activates the trailer's brakes, helping bring it to a stop safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich actuator does this breakaway cable assembly fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 068-188-00 is built for Model 60 surge actuators and is sized to match that actuator's breakaway cable and clasp mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with part number 068-188-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e The assembly includes one breakaway cable and one carabiner clasp with hook.
