The following accessories are available for use with the RCI system:

bulletNEW!  USB Converter - Each RCI system requires at least one converter to interface the computer to the RCI network. The USB-1 converter works on newer systems which lack sufficient serial ports. The USB-1 can be port powered when used with USB ports that have sufficient power.  It can also be externally powered if desired.  In addition, the USB-1 has an 8 conductor jack that allows you to plug a handheld controller directly into the converter. Now it's a simple matter to add a dedicated connection for a single handheld or a whole network of  handhelds, even if your computer has no serial ports available.  Includes USB cable and 8 to 6 wire interface converter. Power supply is optional and only required if you do not have a powered USB port.  

bulletNew Serial Port RS-485 Converter - The RS-4B comes in a new package. As with the USB-1, you can plug a one handheld directly into the RS-4B, or use the 8 to 6 wire converter to hook it to a whole network of RCI cards.
