Contact a guy called Andy Whitfield, The UPS Man.

He is the world authority on anything UPS and is a big second hand dealer of UPS kit: andywhitfield2002 at yahoo dot co dot uk.

Hope that helps.

Neil: both ends. Link to the UPS itself - you can see the rear data port is an rj45 socket.
Barney12: thank you!

Bit bored at work this afternoon and found an RJ45 crimper and plugs, so I have knocked up a cable from a new USB cable.

Used these pinouts http://pinouts.ru/DevicesCables/apc_usb_cable_pinout.shtml

Happy to send it to you, not sure if it will work, I have not used a crimper for about 15 years.

Regards
Richard

Drop me a PM with your address and I will send it over. If not I am about to order 10 1000VA APC's, not sure what cable they come with.

That's got to be one of the most barking mad things I've ever heard of, a USB cable with a RJ45 on the end

I've got a APC UPS & hadn't noticed the cable was a mutant, google for APC cable 940-0127E & you'll find a few suppliers

gotta be better than the stupid serial cables they used to use.
