Cable should just be slightly longer then the safety chains.
Should trailer become unhitched and chains still attached then the umbilical cord is still connected so you have control over braking...
IF trailer breaks free...unhitched/chains break/umbilical cord pulls out...then is when you want the Emergency Break Away cable to pull the pin out activating the trailer brakes during that runaway situation
