Electrical Connector Compatibility | Towing trailers, RVs, or boats | 7-pin SAE J1128-compliant connector (24AWG wires) | Ensures full trailer functionality (brakes, lights, reverse lights) ▲ (Meets industry safety standards) | Requires vehicle/trailer compatibility checks ▲ (May need adapters for non-standard setups) |
Diagnostic Functionality | Vehicle diagnostics, fault code reading | OBDII-compliant connector with real-time data streaming (ISO 15765-4) | Integrates with OBD tools for engine diagnostics ▲ (Supports SAE J1939 protocols) | Limited to vehicles with OBDII ports ▲ (Does not support legacy pre-1996 systems) |
Cable Durability | Harsh weather environments | Heavy-duty PVC jacket with IP67 water/dust resistance ▲ (24AWG stranded copper) | Withstands -40°C to 85°C temperatures ▲ (Military-grade corrosion protection) | Higher cost compared to basic cables ▲ (Stiffer than lightweight alternatives) |
Customization Options | Custom trailer setups | Color-coded wires (ASTM D5001) + adjustable mounting brackets | Easy reconfiguration for unique trailer layouts ▲ (Quick-disconnect clips) | Requires technical skill for installation ▲ (Not pre-wired for all vehicle types) |
Power Delivery | High-current trailer systems | 12V/24V dual-voltage support (IEC 60309) ▲ (30A max continuous load) | Powers heavy-duty brakes/lights without voltage drop ▲ (Thermal overload protection) | Heavier gauge wire increases bulk ▲ (Not suitable for low-current applications) |
Communication Protocols | Smart trailer monitoring | Ethernet/PWM signal support ▲ (Optional CAN bus integration) | Enables telematics and remote diagnostics ▲ (Firmware upgrade capability) | Requires compatible in-vehicle systems ▲ (Advanced setup may void warranties) |
