If all you're working with are the PLCs with the 8-pin round port, there's also the FX-USB-AW which is a USB programming cable.

When you have an older SC-09 cable, you will see that the plug is square shaped and won't fit in the programming port of the FX3U (The port is placed deeper in the housing in order to stabilize the plug with the case.) The solution is to cut down the edges from the SC-09. A diagonal cutter will be perfect for that. After that you will face no problems, communication up to 115kbps are supported by both SC-09 and FX3U.
