The APC's I've used in the field have the RJ-45 console port. I can speak from experience, do not use a standard cisco pinout with them. I had the APC constantly killing power to the equipment attached to it when I plugged it in.

HI Mike, no it doesn't, it's designed to connect to a the console port on the Cisco from a PC DB9 Male, so the DB9 on that cable is female and the connector on the UPS is female because it's the B end
Google "APC UPS serial pinout", lotsa useful looking info. Especially this serverfault entry:
http://serverfault.com/questions/524443/is-apcs-smart-signaling-cable-9 40-0024-really-proprietary
But I speak from a position of ignorance. Use APC a lot, but have always connected to USB using APC-supplied cables.
