That is for a semi trailer like an M373 behind a tractor. If you are towing a dolly on a semi trailer you need one. If it is an M105 the cable is on the trailer.
The cable used between a tractor and a semi-trailer is called an Inter-Vehicular or IV cable. Some military tractors have the military and civilian cables so the tractor can pull civy trailers if need arises.
Most cargo trailers (made to be pulled with a pintle hitch) have the cable built on and you just have to plug it in. There are some exeptions such as transporter and converter dollys that may have a removable IV cable.
"cable used between a tractor and a semi-trailer is called an Inter-Vehicular", it is a different cable then a pentle pull trailer cable, the iv cable has more wires and both ends have plugs
