When you're stocking a control cabinet or maintaining an automated line, two very different needs can pop up: remote input/output modules for moving signals around, and rugged connectors for making clean cable connections. That's why a MOXA Industrial Remote I/O Module Lot and a CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Industrial Connector Kit both appear in the same shopping session, yet solve very different jobs. Here's how to decide which one belongs in your build.
Quick verdict
For a full distributed I/O setup, the MOXA lot at USD 749.00 is the heavy hitter. It gives you a broad mix of Moxa modules plus supporting components, but it's used and hasn't been tested since removal. If you just need dependable connector wiring points, the CNLINKO kit at USD 120.00 is the cleaner, lower-cost choice-a full set of connector pairs ready to assemble.
Comparison table
| Product | Price | Price signal | Condition | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MOXA Industrial Remote I/O Module Lot | USD 749.00 | Used | Full distributed I/O cabinets | |
| CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Industrial Connector Kit | USD 120.00 | New | Device-end wiring where moisture or dust is a concern |
Where each product wins
The MOXA lot wins when you need actual remote I/O channels. It spans analog output, RTD temperature input, digital input, relay output, and field power distribution, plus supporting components like a diode, solid-state relay, and DIN rail fuse holders. That's a broad cabinet-level toolkit for someone wiring up or restoring distributed control.
The CNLINKO kit wins when you need clean, repeatable connections. It delivers an IP67-rated circular connector pair. The plug housings are plastic, the sockets are metal, and the reverse-keyed design helps prevent mismating. It's a ready-to-assemble solution for LED lighting, A/V equipment, and industrial power runs.
Product notes
MOXA Industrial Remote I/O Module Lot
The MOXA lot is the choice when your project needs real I/O channels rather than just cable connections. The bundle includes an M-4410 analog output module, an M-3810 RTD temperature input module, six M-1800 digital input modules, four M-2801 relay output modules, and two M-7002 field power distributors, plus a Phoenix Contact QUINT-DIODE, a Crydom A2425 solid-state relay, and two Eaton Bussmann DIN rail fuse holders. That's a substantial collection for a distributed control cabinet. The catch: these modules were removed from an industrial automation cabinet, working when removed but untested since. You'll want to bench-test each module and inspect contacts before trusting them in a live system. Sold as shown, so plan your commissioning around it.
CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Industrial Connector Kit - 10 Complete Sets - New
The CNLINKO kit solves the other side of the wiring job: getting a clean, repeatable 3-pin connection. You get 20 pieces in total, or 10 complete mating pairs, of the LP-16 series circular connectors. The plug housings are plastic while the sockets are metal, and the set is reverse keyed, which helps you keep different circuits from being swapped. IP67 waterproof/dustproof protection makes it a solid fit for LED lighting, A/V, and industrial power applications where moisture is a concern. Termination is solder, so you need to be comfortable making your own connections. And remember: this kit doesn't include any modules or logic; it's purely the connector hardware, so pair it with the I/O and control components you already have.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the MOXA Industrial Remote I/O Module Lot if you need multiple I/O channel types in one cabinet and you can handle hardware that needs testing. You're trading hands-on verification for a broad I/O toolkit.
- Choose the CNLINKO LP-16 3-Pin Industrial Connector Kit if your priority is waterproof cable connections and you need multiple matching pairs for lighting, A/V, or industrial power lines.
