## Description

BITS4REASONS NEW MODEL MAYPOLE MP501B BREAKAWAY CABLE PVC RED 1M x 3MM SAFETY TRAILER CARAVAN CABLE : desertcart.co.uk: Automotive

Review: Perfect - Perfect and does the job.
Review: Simple, strong design. Good upgrade - Nice, quick delivery. No wasted packaging. The cable is really sturdy and I like the split ring system. Yes it’s a little tricky to part the ring as it’s very strong (use a strong flat blade screwdriver) but once installed, you know that breakaway cable is going nowhere unless you get back under and disconnect it on purpose. On the flip side, the old cable I removed which had the standard hook connection just slipped out at the right angle. For piece of mind, the split ring is king. This cable was also thicker then the cable it replaced, and had a quality carabiner instead of a spring clip. Fluro yellow is a nice touch. Remember breakaway cable first to be connected, last to be disconnected on couple/uncouple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why can’t this be sent to Northern Ireland?**
A: Very sorry that will be do with Amazon Policy, I expect its to do with it being on the FBA light programme which means first class large post, beyond that I am very sorry, as I just dont know its our product but all logistics are done by Amazon, kind regards Andy

**Q: Is this cable compliant with the new 2018 cable safety rules?**
A: Response from Maypole
Not aware of any changes to legislation in the UK.
Manufacturers standards, insurer recommendations seem to have been interpreted as regulation.
Around 5 years ago, many European countries interpreted R55 requirement for the use of safety break away cables making it illegal to pass the cable around the tow ball, but not the UK. – see attached.
The strong recommendation now is to use a specifically provided  attachment point (4985B) and a cable with a carabiner type clip (all of ours).
More recently a UK campaign promoted the good use of cables and also identified spring clip (see attached document for spring clip type of clip) cables as a potential hazard, particularly if connected directly to a specified attachment point. 
The suggestion made for spring clip cables is to pass them around the towing bracket and clipping back to the cable itself as this reduces the risk of the clip failing during use.
It seems that from 2018 UK caravans are only fitted with a carabiner type cable (NCC?) and this information has been promoted by caravan insurers and Mr Tim Booth.

**Q: Is this suitable for a 4x3 single axle, none braked trailer?**
A: This breakaway cable is suitable for caravans and trailers with braking systems. If your trailer does not have brakes but reliant on your vehicle then not required

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to attach to tow bar fitting
*by P***. on 19 July 2023*

Good quality product. I have tried a couple of 'fixes' to make attaching the breakaway cable to our car easier but nothing has worked as well as this option. After attaching to our trailer tent brake lever with the supplied split ring (careful how you do this as it would be easy to slip and possibly injure yourself), I used a medium sized screwdriver to prise open the ring in order to get it to start on the brake handle attachment, it is easy to clip onto our rather inaccessible Witter tow ball attachment point without having to resort to crawling under the car. This is a bit of a game changer to be honest as it was by far, the most tricky part of connecting and disconnecting our trailer and was of a concern when on the road as you never know when a quick detachment may be required.
