ZIPLink Specialty Modules & Cables

Cut your PLC wiring time from hours down to minutes with ZipLink modules and cables!

The ZIPLink system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring programmable logic controller I/O to terminal blocks.

Simply plug one end of a ZIPLink cable into a 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/DuraPulse/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 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 that you are connecting to before you proceed
