Question:
We will be towing a 5 x 10 tear trailer total length with tongue is 14 with our 2017 Subaru Outback. The trailer is set up for electric brakes. I estimate the total length of the run from where we pull power in the Subaru to the trailer breaks to be 16-20 feet. The trailer has a dry weight of 1250 pounds and I estimate that fully loaded it will be about 1650 pounds. I will be fabricating the vehicle-side 7-way connector and want to use the Deka jacketed cable you sell. Do you think the 12 gauge wire will be sufficient for this application?

The brake output wire of the jacketed 7-way wiring part # DW04914-1 that you referenced does come with a heavy enough gauge of wire for your brake circuit. The 12 gauge brake output circuit would work well.
