Question:
Are ZIPLinks only offered for select modules?
Answer
Yes - although modules appear to look the same, they are different in their AMP ratings. You can only use 2A max on the points and 4A max on the commons. The ZL-2CBL2-2P and ZL-3CBL3-2P pigtail cables may be used with I/O modules when there ia no pre-assembled cable available, provided the maximum amp ratings of the cables and ZIPLink modules are not exceeded.

Question:
Where are the labels for my ZipLink module?
Answer
The stickers for the ZipLink products actually ship with the cables, since the base modules can be used with different PLC families/modules. If the original sticker has been lost or misplaced, a copy of the sticker label can be found on the cable product page, under the "Docs & Drawings" section.
The pigtail cables do not include any stickers, since they are most often used with 3rd party products.
