The Wacker Neuson Bowden Cable is a genuine OEM component designed for the DPU5247, DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU6260, and DPU6275 series vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact manufacturing standards of the original cable installed at the factory. Compatible with an extensive range of DPU variants — including Heh, He, Hehp, Hehcb+, Hehcpb+, and standard H configurations — the is a direct, installation-ready replacement. Verify your model number against the fitment list below before ordering to ensure a correct match.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Cable Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original sheath and inner-wire specifications, ensuring the correct pull resistance, travel length, and end-fitting geometry for smooth, consistent throttle or drive control response.
• Drop-In Replacement — End fittings, cable length, and housing terminations match the original mounting points on the compactor, allowing straightforward removal and reinstallation without modification.
• Broad DPU Series Fitment — Covers DPU5247, DPU5260, DPU5275, DPU6260, and DPU6275 plate compactors across multiple build variants, including cb+, cpb+, LOXAM, and standard configurations.
• Maintains Precise Operator Control — A worn or frayed Bowden Cable introduces slack, sticking, or unresponsive throttle and drive engagement; replacing it with this OEM part restores accurate, responsive machine control.
• Operational Safety Relevance — A failed or binding cable can prevent proper throttle release or forward/reverse disengagement on walk-behind compactors, making timely cable replacement an important safety practice.

A Bowden Cable is a flexible mechanical cable assembly that transmits hand-lever inputs — such as throttle or drive engagement — from the operator handle to the engine or drive mechanism on a vibratory plate compactor. It consists of an inner wire that moves inside a protective outer sheath, converting the operator's grip force into precise mechanical action at the far end of the cable. When the inner wire stretches, frays, or the sheath kinks and cracks, the cable loses its ability to transmit movement accurately, resulting in sluggish, sticky, or completely unresponsive controls that affect both productivity and safe operation of the machine.
