ZIPLink Cable Connector and Communications Modules
Cut your PAC and PLC wiring time from hours down to minutes using ZIPLink Connector and Communications Modules!
The ZIPLink module and cable system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring PAC or programmable logic
controller (PLC) I/O to terminal blocks.
- Simply plug one end of a ZIPLink cable into a Productivity3000 PAC I/O module,
DirectLOGIC I/O module or CLICK CPU I/O module and the other end into a ZIPLink connector module. It’s that
easy!
- ZIPLinks are also used for AutomationDirect GS Series, DuraPulse, and SureServo AC Drive wiring solutions.
- ZIPLinks use half the space, at a fraction of the total cost of terminal blocks.
- ZIPLink cables and modules are available in a variety of styles to suit your needs.
ZIPLink Legacy to New Generation
Conversion Guide 
This pdf document (700 KB) will help you in converting from the legacy ZIPLink cable components to the new generation of ZIPLink
cables and wiring solutions. You will need to know the part number of the legacy ZIPLink module you are using now and the PLC I/O module to which you are
connecting before you proceed. Please be careful to select the proper PAC or PLC cables for your specific application.
