ZIPLink Cables for easy PLC connections...We're not the first to make them, but we're the first to make them affordable!
ZIPLink Pre-Wired PLC Connection Cables and Modules
ZIPLink PLC cables help eliminate the tedious process of wiring PLC I/O to terminal blocks!
NOTE: (ZIPLink cables are not currently available for thermocouple, RTD, high-current or analog modules.)
Wiring programmable logic controllers (PLCs) can be a real chore. You have to get wire, cut it, strip it, screw it to the PLC I/O module terminal, route it to a terminal strip, label it, stick it into a field terminal block, screw it down . . .
Or, you could remove the connector on a DirectLOGIC I/O module, snap one of the ZIPLink cables in its place, and snap the other end into the connector module mounted on DIN rail nearby. Not only is it faster, it looks a lot better and makes following wires and cables a piece of cake!
ZIPLink cables are available in a variety of styles to suit your needs.
Some of our PLC cables are designed exclusively for DirectLOGIC PLCs, while others may be used with a variety of PLC brands.
ZIPLink cables are available in a number of pre-wired and ready-to-wire configurations that accommodate the majority of our most popular discrete input and output PLC I/O modules.
(NOTE: Analog and high current PLC I/O modules are NOT supported by ZIPLink PLC cables.)

Whether you want the ability to quickly wire simple point-to-point connections, or the ability to fuse, switch, or isolate your outputs, or the convenience of LED device status indication for monitoring your inputs, we have a ZIPLink module that is right for you. Most DIN rail mountable ZIPLink modules are available in your choice of eight or sixteen-channel versions, in either 24 VDC or 110 VAC voltages.
- Other PLC brands
Use ZIPLink “pigtail” cables and connector modules to wire to most brands of PLCs or controllers.
These cables are supplied with a “plug and play” connector on one end, and an unwired, color-coded wire bundle on the other end for user connection to the PLC or controller terminal block.
- D-subminiature connectors
D-subminiature modules provide convenient transition between devices with standard D-sub ports (such as operator interface panels) for longer distance connections. For PLCs, controllers, operator interfaces, or other devices utilizing D-subminiature connectors, we now have standard ZIPLink cables and connector modules in 9, 15, and 25 pin male/female configurations for fast, convenient wiring.
Available modules include:
- Feed-through PLC Connection Modules
Feed-through modules provide low-cost and compact field wiring screw termination solutions for quickly connecting ZIPLink cables with PLCs.
- Fuse Modules
Fuse modules provide easily-replaceable fuse protection for PLC output devices. Fuses are included. The 8-point and 16-point fuse modules are supplied with replaceable fuses and protective safety covers. Use with DL05/ DL06/ DL205/ DL305/ DL405 PLCs.
NOTE: Commons are not isolated on models ZLCM16TF1 and ZL-CM16TF2.NOTE: Do not exceed 5 Amps maximum per common with PLC I/O modules D2-12TR, D3-16TA2, D4-16TA.

- LED Modules
AC and DC LED/sensor modules provide simple and logical termination for 2-wire or 3-wire sensors or other devices. These modules offer visual LED indication of device input status for quick troubleshooting. The LED/ sensor modules are available in 120 VAC or 24 VAC/VDC in 8-point or 16-point versions, and offer extra termination points for daisychaining multiple modules.
- Communication Adapter Modules
Communication adapter modules eliminate the hassle associated with connecting crimp or solder connectors to PLC communication ports. The communication adapters offer fast and convenient screw terminal connections for DL250/ DL350/ DL450 PLCs. A DIP switch allows you to select between RS232, RS422, and DirectLOGIC Remote I/O. The 15-pin version, compatible with the DL06, D2-250, and D2-260 CPUs, offers power, transmit, and receive LED indicators to simplify and speed diagnostics and troubleshooting.
NOTE: These modules are for use in end-of-run wiring (point-to-point) only. They are NOT intended for use as middle stations in multidrop networks.
- D-sub Miniature Modules
D-sub miniature modules are available in male and female, 9-pin, 15-pin or 25-pin versions. These connector modules provide a fast, convenient method of transitioning between devices with standard D-Sub ports (such as EZTouch/Text operator interface panels) and field wiring through the use of screw terminals. This also allows longer distance connections.
- Diode and Miscellaneous Modules
Transorb diode, AC and DC relay modules are available for all types of applications. Our transorb diode modules are 8-channel devices that suppress counterelectromotive force (CEMF) generated by switching inductive loads such as air solenoids, contactors, motor starters, interposing relays, etc., which can cause unexpected PLC system shutdown. Our RJ12 connector modules provide convenient break-out of wiring to terminal blocks.
