I just received this and am looking forward to getting it installed and my trailer wired up. This looks like a quality product.
This is not the first pigtail that I have found that was wired incorrectly.
When you match all the colors up...like yellow to yellow ( left turn) in the box and brown to brown (running light)
The lights don't work correctly....colors have to be mismatched...in order for the ligh/ to preform correctly.
Yellow =left turn....Green = right turn.....Brown = running lights.....White = GND
the pigtail is a nice piece...but 2 of the wires are shaped for standard 7 pin round.in the molded end
Soft and flexible cable sheathing. works well for my application to replace an old corroded plug connector

Still works well, even sitting in the weather it works as intended. It is not used very often but still exposed to the elements.
FAST & EFFICIENT AS ALWAYS
I installed this plug on a trailer and it works fine.
The color coded wires did not match the standard for which went where. I first assumed it matched and installed accordingly. Only ground (white) and electric break control (blue) were correct. Brown, yellow, and green were all wrong. I believe black and red were also switched, although those seem to be less standardized. Then I checked it for continuity with multimeter and reconnected, crossing colors as necessary. Also, outside sheathing immediately separated from molded plug during first use. This appears to be very nice, heavy construction, but in reality it is a big disappointment.

There are two different accepted wire color code conventions for a 7-way trailer connector, which is why we provide a chart see above showing the wire color codes applicable for this trailer connector.
Well built. easy to install.
Part was promptly delivered and was the correct item.
Seems like a good quality cord so I’m h appy.

Worked out great till a couple months ago when someone didn’t pay attention and the plug pulled out and got dragged so I will be ordering another.
Nice wire, appreciate the different wire gauges for the wire that will carry more power.
Item was as described. Very fast deliv ery.
Great product, helpful staff at entaile d.
I ordered this trailer wirefor my rv.it was well made and easy to install.
Product was delivered quickly and installed easily. Lights are on and working
Products were all as described and good quality. The only problem was packaging. The insulation on the wires on one of the brake assemblies was cut requiring splicing. Not a big deal but did require additional time and effort since they were cut where going through back plate. Wish I had purchased two conductor brake wire. Would have made job easier.But that was my mistake.

No problems, everything working as it should.
Used this product to extend the trailer's factory cable due to the new tow vehicle's receptacle was farther from the camper tongue. After one year, it is still working well.
All wire colors were correct.

Still working well!
Quality product at a reasonable price. Worked great- used a "weather pack" connector for a nice sealed connection to the rest of the trailer wiring. Just be sure to carefully check the wire colors (as many noted in the reviews)- they are not standard!

After a year, product is still like new- weather exposure hasnt caused any issues at all!
The color coding of the wiring in relation to their position was all incorrect to what is recognized as standard. Since the plug is molded there is no way to switch positions of the wires. I had to use a continuity tester to determine what was what. The trailer brake circuit was the only one that was correct

There is more than one accepted color coding for a 7-way trailer connector, which is why we list the color code on the product description that shows which function each wire color carries. Heres a link to our Trailer Wiring help article that you might find helpful.

Very nice quality product. It's nice to have a molded plug, and this fits the bill nicely. Length is adequate as well. Couple this with one of the trailer junction boxes (another excellent product) and you'll have a clean and professional installation.

All good. Havent used the trailer much tho.
Quality product. I’ve rewired several trailers using this product. I’d recommend it to anyone needing to build or rewire a trailer.
I felt the product was good, but the cord was not long enough. When I ordered it, the one I wanted had a longer cord, but was not available. I was in a bind so I took the shorter one. It works great, but it is not long enough for my needs. If I have to turn the trailer sharp the cord will pop out of the plug, due to the shortness of the cord. Good product.

I sold the trailer. The cord was still not long enough.
My drum brakes locked up on me because it is a boat trailer and gets submerged in water. I hate drum brakes, due how many part are inside and can rust up. I am the 3rd owner of my 1998 boat trailer and it was hard to figure out what I needed to fix it. I contacted etrailer and they were super helpful, super informative and super easy to work with. I told them what I had, and what I wanted to do., and they put a package together for me and that was them. Everything was super east to install because it is all bolt on. I did have to do some cutting and grinding on my old tongue because the master was welded on. That was the only difficult part. My new setup is amazing and the disk brakes and new master make it feel like my boat is not even there. All in all, I am 110% satisfied and will definitely be a returning customer for any trailer needs. Thank you etrailer for making everything super easy.
Love the product. It has worked well for my cattle trailer.
The products were ordered on Sunday night late, delivered by Wednesday. Converting drum surge brakes to disc, electric over hydraulic on a boat trailer for 26ft Sea Ray boat. I had everything including Titan brake actuator, 4 kodiac rotor and caliper conversion kits with bearings, and new lines installed by Thursday evening. Installation was straight forward, everything fit perfectly. One of the calipers was malfunctioning (not releasing). I called customer service and I had a new one within two days, it's now installed and working great!! Great product! Awesome service!!
The 7 way worked great and was a perfect match for my 2018 Ram 3500. I had to rewire substandard wiring and remove all the guillotine connectors on my 2017 GD Reflection 337RLS brake system. How they let this off the assembly line is beyond me. Intermittent truck alarms (check trailer) and brakes all the way from Mexico to WA...not fun. GD used 14 and 16 gauge wire with scotchlock connectors from the pin-box to the magnets...even had scotchlock splices inside the underbelly where you cant easily get too. Anyway I have 10 gauge marine tinned copper from the pin-box to the axles and circle connectors in waterproof boxes at the axles and legitimate crimped butt connectors with heat shrink (the good marine kind). I also bonded a 4awg ground to the frame at the pin-box and at the axles. What a disgrace that GD let this out of the factory. Anyway, Ive been very very happy with all the folks at etrailer...they care. See you on the road...Jim & Christine.

This trailer connector does indeed use a different color code for its wires. It is specifically mentioned on the product page. The connector would wire up as follows- White wire is Ground, Red wire is Left TurnBrake lamp, Brown wire is Right TurnBrake lamp, Green is Taillights, Blue is Trailer Brakes, Black is 12-Volt power from battery and Yellow is an auxiliary circuit, frequently used for the reverse lamps.
