A gender bender is all that you should need. The APC UPS uses a proprietary cable, but it is rs232 with the pins mapped in a wierd way to make it proprietary Below is an article that I used to create a cisco console to APC UPS adapter http://pinoutguide.com/UPS/apc_smart_ups_adapter_pinout.shtml On 2 November 2016 at 18:34, Mike Everest <mike@duxtel.com> wrote:

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

Doesn't cisco 'teal' cable do the job?
Cheers, Mike.

Hi guys, we have got some APC UPS's with the serial DB9 connections on them but need to connect them to Mikrotik RB2011 and RB1100AHx2 models.
Does anybody have any suggestions on a cable to suit ? The problem is they are both setup to be the B end of the situation and not the MT setup to be the A end and the UPS as the B end.
I was thinking of a gender bender but don't really want to do that if I don't have to.....
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
