Note: This article is a work in progress and has yet to be reviewed by SCS staff. Some information may be incomplete or inaccurate.
The accessory_addon_trailer_cables_data unit class is used for adding dynamic trailer cables between a vehicle and its trailer. For player trucks, units of this type are usually defined in /def/vehicle/truck/<brand.model>/accessory/trlr_cables/*.sii and valid unit names end in .trlr_cables. For player trailers, units of this type are usually defined in /def/vehicle/trailer/<trailer_name>/accessory/trlr_cables/*.sii and valid unit names end in .trlr_cables. This unit type was added in 1.31.

Model
A valid trailer cables accessory model must have the following:
- Some visible geometry (models cannot contain only locators)
- Attachment locators for each member defined in the cables array, where the truck plug model will be placed. The locator names are defined by each trailer_cable_data unit's locator_prefix attribute.
It may additionally make use of the following:
- Rest locators for each defined cable where the trailer plug model will be placed when there is no trailer connected (otherwise the cable will not be drawn/simulated when there is no trailer connected). The locator names are defined by each trailer_cable_data unit's rest_locator_prefix attribute.
- Special part names are displayed only during particular states:
cables_offis displayed only when no trailer is attachedcables_onis displayed only when a trailer is attached
