This is a guide to PLC cables, find your PLC manufacture (in bold), then find your PLC model, then your cable that is needed for communication, this is also a just some of the options you have, on some PLC's you have other options... such as Ethernet, Bridging, Milti Ports, etc. for simplicity reasons we have just listed one or two options for each CPU
