Hi tisogai,

Yes, I am willing to try to help you.

I think accessory/accessories is fine, but depending on the particular piece of equipment you are referring to, the following may also be appropriate:

attachment/attachments

auxiliary device/devices

related paraphernalia (use this only if you want to be facetious)
