Product Information
Full details
The Neilsen Trailer Extension Lead Cable is designed for trailer owners and caravanners who need a reliable, high-quality connection between their towing vehicle and trailer. Its standout feature is the 2.5-meter curly cable design, which prevents the line from dragging on the ground during transit while offering easy storage; however, users should be aware that the lead is strictly limited to 7-pin configurations and may not be compatible with newer 13-pin trailer systems without an additional adapter.

FAQs
Does this cable support 13-pin systems?
No, this cable is designed specifically for standard 7-pin configurations. You would need a 13-pin to 7-pin adapter to use it with 13-pin systems.
What is the maximum reach of this cable?
The cable reaches 2.5 meters when fully stretched.
Can this be used for permanent wiring?
No, this is intended as a temporary extension lead for towing connectivity, not for permanent trailer modifications.
Is the cable weather resistant?
It is built for external use during towing; however, it should not be submerged in water or left permanently exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Do I need any tools to install it?
No tools are required. It uses a simple plug-and-play manual connection.
Troubleshooting
Lights on trailer not working
Ensure both ends of the lead are fully inserted and locked into the 7-pin sockets. Check the pins for any signs of oxidation.
Intermittent signal during movement
Verify that the cable is not stretched beyond its 2.5-meter limit, as excessive tension can pull the plugs out of alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: identify the 7-pin female socket on your trailer and the corresponding outlet on your vehicle, then insert the male ends of the cable until they click securely into place. This lead is designed exclusively for standard 7-pin systems; ensure your specific trailer and vehicle pins match this configuration before attempting connection. To maintain the cable, periodically inspect the contact points for signs of corrosion or debris. Clean the terminals with a dry brush if necessary and store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the spring-coiled plastic coating.
