MANTES electrical installation, boat trailer harness 7.8m, 13PIN plug, 2x5PIN bayonets
The MANTES electrical system is a practical and reliable solution designed primarily for boat trailers , but it will also work well in other car trailers requiring robust wiring. The 7.8-meter main cable with a 0.75 mm² cross-section is equipped with a standard 13-pin plug , ensuring compatibility with most vehicles. Thanks to its sufficient cable length, the system is well-suited to longer trailers where convenient wiring to the rear lights is necessary.
The harness is equipped with two waterproof 5-pin bayonet connectors for connecting the rear lights. The bayonet system ensures quick and secure installation, eliminating the risk of accidental disconnection while driving. The connector design guarantees a waterproof connection and protects the contacts from corrosion, ensuring long-term, trouble-free operation of the entire trailer lighting system.
Tightness class
Bayonets with an IP67 sealing rating provide high protection for the electrical connection against dust, moisture, and water . When properly installed, the connector is resistant to rain, splashes, mud, puddles, and brief immersion, which is crucial for trailer and flatbed lighting systems. This protection reduces the risk of contact corrosion, short circuits, and lamp malfunctions when driving in challenging weather conditions.
The installation has an integrated branching of two 5.8-metre-long cables to the marker lamps, which effectively indicate the vehicle's dimensions both during the day and at night, improving safety during maneuvers and driving in difficult conditions.

Trailer wiring harnesses are essential for ensuring the proper operation of lighting in car trailers, trailers, agricultural trailers, and caravans. Their primary function is to transmit electrical signals to the position lights, brake lights, turn signals, and fog lights, significantly improving visibility and road safety . Using high-quality wiring harnesses helps avoid problems with power surges and lighting failures, which is crucial for both the driver and other road users. Thanks to the appropriate cable length and universal connectors, installation is quick and simple, while robust insulation ensures resistance to weather conditions, vibration, and mechanical damage .
