Our clocks come in a variety of options to choose from but the setup and general layout does not change. Each clock purchase comes with a power cable, tripod stand, crossover cable, 100ft ethernet cable, ethernet coupler, and USB ethernet adapter. We provide additional equipment that can be included with the score clocks, such as wireless routers and switches.
