Industrial Control Cables and Connectors, Compared: 4 Options for Receptacles, Waterproof Plugs, and Bulk Kits

Compare four control-cable and connector listings: a six-pin Lapp receptacle, two waterproof CNLINKO options, and a short LAPP OLFLEX cable, with listed prices from $10.99 to $120.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

When you need to connect an industrial control circuit, the first question is which side of the connection you are solving. The Lapp Epic 10.1710 is a 6-contact screw-terminated receptacle, the CNLINKO 4-pin female plug is one end of a connection, the CNLINKO LP-16 kit is a ten-pair set, and the LAPP OLFLEX cable is a short industrial control cable segment. The listed prices run from USD 10.99 to USD 120.00, so the decision is more about matching the part to the wiring job.

Quick take

Need one plug to finish a cable? The CNLINKO 4-pin female plug is the compact choice. Need multiple connections at once? The CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin kit is the bulk choice. Need the receptacle half of a six-pin connection? The Lapp Epic receptacle is the one. Need a short cable to wire into a connector? The LAPP OLFLEX segment is the entry-price option.

Product notes

Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Industrial Connector Receptacle

Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Industrial Connector Receptacle

The Lapp Epic is the receptacle half of a six-pin industrial connection. It is a new item, and the copper contacts give you a solid starting point for a fixed connection point. The screw termination is a practical reason to choose this over a crimp-style part because you can land the wires directly. Because this is the receptacle rather than the mating plug, it is best used where you need the socket side of the link. If your project is missing a cable-side connector, you will still need that counterpart to complete the pair.

CNLINKO 4 Pin Power Industrial Connector Female Plug Waterproof IP67 Signal M20

CNLINKO 4 Pin Power Industrial Connector Female Plug Waterproof IP67 Signal M20

This female plug is a useful single-ended connector for a signal or power cable. The IP67 rating in its name is the main reason to consider it for wet or dusty locations, and the bayonet coupling locks the connection quickly. It lists 14-12 AWG wire support, which lines up with typical control cable. The limitation here is scope: this is one female plug, and the matching socket is a separate item in the product description. That makes it ideal for a one-off repair or a small build, but less efficient if you need to wire many circuits in one pass.

CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Industrial Connector Kit - 10 Complete Sets - New

CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Industrial Connector Kit - 10 Complete Sets - New

This kit is the quantity play. It contains ten complete sets of a 3-pin waterproof industrial connector, with plastic plug housings and metal sockets. If your project involves LED lighting, audio/visual gear, or industrial power connections, this bulk format avoids ordering pairs one by one. All 20 pieces are listed as new. The trade-off is the larger up-front cost at the top of this lineup. You are committing to ten pairs, so it only fits when you have enough connection points to justify that amount. For one connection, the smaller four-pin plug is the more modest option.

LAPP OLFLEX INDUSTRIAL CONTROL CABLE H05VVC4V5-K 14AWG 600V 8 FEET

LAPP OLFLEX INDUSTRIAL CONTROL CABLE H05VVC4V5-K 14AWG 600V 8 FEET

This is the only cable in the group and the lowest listed price. It is a 14 AWG, 600V industrial control cable cut to an 8-foot length, and it is marked as used. That makes it a practical segment for a short run, a replacement lead, or a test setup rather than a full reel. The cable is not a connector, so you would wire it into one of the CNLINKO or Lapp products to finish a circuit. If you have a receptacle or plug waiting for a short piece of wire, this segment can serve as the link. Just keep in mind this listing is limited to one used 8-foot piece, not a bulk spool.

Final recommendation by use case

  • For one cable-side connection: CNLINKO 4-Pin Female Plug.
  • For multiple three-pin connections: CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Connector Kit.
  • For the receptacle half of a six-pin link: Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Receptacle.
  • For a short wire run leading into a connector: LAPP OLFLEX H05VVC4V5-K cable.
