Identify Fastway ZIP Breakaway Switches, Pins & Cables

Fastway ZIP breakaway hardware can be identified by two details: the part number and what comes attached to the coiled cable. A full switch assembly, a replacement cable with a new pull pin, and a cable using your original pin are different parts. This reference helps you recognise the six original Fastway ZIP configurations offered in 4-foot and 6-foot lengths before replacing or matching an existing trailer breakaway connection.

Start with the hardware you already have

Black switch body and wiresIf the part includes an electrical breakaway switch housing with two leads, check the complete assembly numbers 80-00-2040 and 80-00-2060. The length separates the 4-foot from the 6-foot model.
Removable black plunger pinIf the ZIP cable comes with a replacement pull pin but no switch body, identify 80-01-2204 or 80-01-2206. Compare the pin shape with the old switch and do not force a nonmatching pin.
Cable with split ringParts 80-01-2140 and 80-01-2160 attach to a pin you retain from your existing switch. They are cable-only replacements, not new switches or pin kits.

Length is a fit check, not a trailer-model guarantee

Measure the distance between the switch location on your trailer and the tow vehicle's dedicated connection point. Fastway recommends 4 feet when that distance is under 3 feet and 6 feet when it exceeds 3 feet. The connection must also permit normal turns without pulling the pin while avoiding dragging or snagging.

Do not mix up breakaway and safety hardware. The red coiled ZIP line is meant to trigger the trailer's emergency brake switch if separation occurs. It is not a towing safety cable and does not replace the safety chains. Its operation also depends on the breakaway system's battery, wiring and brakes.

Examine parts for damage before reusing them

  1. Check the switch body for cracks, damaged leads, corrosion and loose mounting hardware.
  2. Look for a bent, scored or missing pull pin and examine its fit in the original switch.
  3. Inspect the coated coil, split ring and tow-vehicle clip for broken strands, wear, deformation or corrosion.
  4. Confirm the switch remains correctly located and the cable can pull the pin in a genuine separation without false activation during turns.
  5. Test the complete electric-brake breakaway system according to its manufacturer instructions. Replace a questionable component instead of relying on its previous appearance.

Other towing identification help

If you are comparing breakaway cables with the secondary trailer connection, see our CURT safety chain and cable identification reference. Breakaway switches serve an entirely separate function from the rated chains or safety cables used to help retain a disconnected trailer.
