The breakaway cable is an additional connection between trailer and vehicle. In case of a problem, the breakaway cable serves as an emergency solution. You are not supposed to use this cable to pull your trailer forward.
Unbraked trailer
With an unbraked trailer, the breakaway cable ensures that the car and trailer remain connected. If your trailer breaks loose, it won't take off. As a driver you can then try to slow down in a controlled manner to limit the damage.
Braked trailer
The breakaway cable with a braked trailer works differently. The goal is not to keep the trailer close to the vehicle. The breakaway cable activates the brake.
When the trailer breaks free, the overrun brake and the car remain connected via the cable. As the distance between the two increases, the breakaway cable pulls on the brake. Then the cable breaks through, so that the trailer comes to a standstill on its own. You can also brake with your car at that moment, without a rudderless load on your towbar.
