When you're dealing with industrial control cables, connectors, and I/O hardware, the first decision is scope. Are you trying to complete a single cable connection, or are you trying to supply a control cabinet with a range of input and output capability? The two options here sit at opposite ends of that spectrum: a new 6-contact connector receptacle and a used lot of remote I/O modules. They solve different problems, and the right choice depends on what your panel actually needs.
Quick verdict
The Lapp Epic receptacle is the direct answer when you need one clean, screw-terminated connection. The MOXA lot is the bigger commitment when you're wiring up several I/O positions at once and can work with used modules that you'll test yourself.

Where each product wins
The Lapp Epic wins when your job is a single connector. It's a new, low-priced receptacle that delivers screw-terminated contacts with copper contact material. If you're fixing or building one specific cable connection, this part covers that without adding a bundle of extra components.
The MOXA lot wins when you're trying to cover multiple I/O functions in one go. The lot includes six digital input modules, four relay output modules, two field power distributor modules, one analog output module, one RTD temperature input module, and supporting parts like a Phoenix Contact diode, a Crydom solid state relay, and two Eaton Bussmann DIN rail fuse holders. That spread gives you a practical starting point for a control cabinet that needs both input and output capability.
Product notes
MOXA Industrial Remote I/O Module Lot
This is a used lot of industrial automation hardware removed from a control cabinet. It bundles a wide set of modules: one M-4410 analog output module, one M-3810 RTD temperature input module, six M-1800 digital input modules, four M-2801 relay output modules, two M-7002 field power distributor modules, a Phoenix Contact QUINT-DIODE/12-24DC/2x20/1x40, a Crydom A2425 solid state relay, and two Eaton Bussmann DIN rail fuse holders. The modules were working when removed, and the lot is described as clean with good cosmetic condition, but it has not been tested since removal and is sold as shown. This is a strong match if you need multiple positions filled in a control panel and want to avoid sourcing each module separately. The limitation is the used and untested status; you'll need to verify each module before putting it into service, and the entire lot comes as one package.
Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Industrial Connector Receptacle
This is a new connector receptacle with a six-pin configuration and screw-terminated contacts. It uses a pin connector style and copper contact material, making it a straightforward option for a six-conductor industrial connection. It's priced at $50, which makes it an easy fit for a job where you only need one connector component and don't want to invest in a larger I/O system. The limitation is that the part is a single receptacle, so it covers just one side of the connection; you'll need the rest of the cabling to complete the link. The six-pin count is fixed, so it works cleanly for a six-conductor application but doesn't leave room for additional contacts.
Final choice by use case
If you need one new connector to finish a cable or panel connection, the Lapp Epic receptacle is the simple, low-price pick. If you're assembling a control cabinet and need a broad set of remote I/O modules for digital input, relay output, analog output, and temperature input, the MOXA lot covers more ground in a single purchase-just plan to test the modules before relying on them.
