2.4.3 Signaling cables
APC UPS will correctly communicate with the PowerChute monitoring software
only when the correct APC cable is used. Using a standard RS232 cable will
result in loss of communication between the UPS and the software. Table 9
shows which APC cable is required for your configuration. APC cables usually
come in the box with the UPS and serve as the software license for the
PowerChute software. Should you need longer cables than those provided,
extension cables are available and can be ordered separately.
