The 9300-USBS: What comes in the box?

If you’re responsible for keeping Rockwell Automation devices up and running, and some of them require a serial connection, you can’t go wrong with the 9300-USBS.

While it’s a little pricey for a USB to Serial converter, it is guaranteed to work with all your Rockwell serial cables, and supports the “auto-configure” feature of RSLinx as well.

So if you do decide to buy a USBS, what will you get in the box? That’s what we’ll show you in today’s article.

The Final item in the box is a quick setup card with a cable guide on one side, and RSLinx settings on the other.
