It is built like this: Computer (Pin#/Name) APC UPS (Name/Pin#) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7 RTS ------------------------. \ \ 1 DCD ---------------------*---. \ .----- SHUTDOWN 1 | \ \ / 10k | \ \ 4-wire cable / 6 DSR ---. ,---'\/\/\,---' \ `---------------------' .------ POWRFAIL 3 | | `-----------------------' | | ,-----------------------. 4 DTR ---*---*---'\/\/\,---. / ,---------------------. `------ BATRYLOW 5 10k | / / (telephone cable) \ | / / \ 9 RNG ---------------------*---' / `----- SIGROUND 4 / / 5 GND ------------------------' According to APC, this cable will work on all Backups-Pro, Smart-Ups, and most likely the Matrix-Ups, too. I've only tested it on my Backups-Pro 420, though. Please let me know when you release your next version or want some beta testing done!
