Well, I'd not put a comma there. However, I'd rewrite the sentence to move
"supplied" more sensible or leave it out altogether.
The simplest move would be to write:
"The ACME frizzlebutser allows you to connect yout ACME..."
or if you insist on "supplied"
"The supplied ACME frizzlebutser allows you to connect yout ACME..."
