Break Away Cable

[CavemanCharlie]

I need a new cable for my Break Away Switch. The switch has ESCO printed on the top of it. I can't seem to find a match for that. I'm guessing it interchanges with one of the other brand names. Which brand name does it interchange with ??

Thank-You

(P.S. when I say cable by that I mean I am looking to replace both the cable and the plastic key thing that it is permanently attached to.)

I like that it can't sag or dangle and touch the ground. It will work with any breakaway switch.

Those unknown Chinese brands on Amazon always make me nervous. I bought a cheap dog lead once with similar style -- a cable with crimped ends just like that product.

Pulled into the campsite, put the dog on the lead to let him sit outside, then I walked up to the campground office to check in. When I came back out, the dog was sitting there waiting for me with the 15 foot lead behind him -- one of the crimps wasn't tight and it slipped off.

So now, for anything safety related, I always look for a brand name that I recognize.

The Keys are usually not interchangeable ....just buy a new Break Away Switch with Coiled cable

Simple......

Complete unit would be best way to go as the internal parts rust away in most.

Don't worry about finding a match for the old one. They all do the same thing and are simply a switch. Just purchase a whole new unit. They are cheap.
