Bowden cable brake cable KNOTT NIRO 980207.14 quick assembly 1230/1420mm

The KNOTT NIRO 980207.14 brake cable , also known as a Bowden cable , is designed for use in trailer braking systems equipped with KNOTT components. It mechanically transfers force from the overrun system to the wheel brake, supporting the proper and smooth operation of the entire braking mechanism.

The cable has a casing length of 1230 mm and a total length of 1420 mm . This is a quick-install version , which facilitates its installation and subsequent replacement in the braking system.

The NIRO model was designed for use in particularly demanding conditions. The cable is made of highly corrosion-resistant materials, and its threaded ends and sheath ends are additionally protected against moisture and other adverse external factors. This makes the cable suitable for use in areas exposed to frequent contact with water, mud, salt, and humid environments.

Increased corrosion resistance makes KNOTT NIRO cable a particularly good choice for boat trailers that are regularly exposed to water during launching and transporting, as well as for other trailers used in harsh weather conditions. The NIRO design helps reduce the risk of premature wear of cable components and helps maintain braking system efficiency for longer.

How to choose the right brake cable for your trailer

When selecting the right cable, first determine whether it will be used on a single-axle or tandem trailer . Next, check the hub spacing of the given axle ( dimension C) and compare it with the range specified for the specific cable. For a tandem trailer, you also need to consider whether the cable will be mounted on the front or rear axle , as the manufacturer provides different cable lengths for these axles. This allows you to select the correct cable for the trailer's braking system.

The KNOTT NIRO brake cable is a durable component of the trailer's braking system, mechanically transferring power from the overrun brake to the KNOTT wheel brake. Designed for smooth operation, high corrosion resistance, and long service life , it also performs well in trailers used intensively and in harsh conditions, including frequent contact with moisture and water. However, as a consumable item, it can wear out over time, so it should be inspected regularly and replaced if necessary. When replacing brake cables, use the same type to maintain the proper operation of the entire system.
