This was a straight-forward order of basic accessories, so not much to say.
I never ended up using it. While in the prosses of trying to install new film wear, I had a warning pop up to tell me it needed to be updated and it gave me a link to do it wirelessly. So now can I return the old new cable that I never used???.
I bought this item for much much less through a GSA distributor. But even that price was more than I think it's worth.
I am unimpressed with this level of support. Why not a simple schematic for such a simple cable? When in Timbuktu, I cannot wait for a new factory one - as nice as that might be. Box lable says Serial /USB so what can I hook it to? Notes say not to use external USB adapter but what if it's powered from the same AC? No manual for the PowerChute SW so no help there. Even a detailed tech manual for the UPS connectors would be nice - no cigar - clearly in only the selling biz, not the support biz too - ONE star.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using a Synology NAS I attempted to use this cable to get my BR1500 APC UPS to signal a power outage. The cable is NOT a direct USB to RJ45 conversion and no signal is received by the NAS.
The cable works fine, but the price is completely ridiculous. Most other UPS brands have a USB connection on their UPS so you can just use any old USB cable. However APC uses the very rare 10 pin RJ50 connector on the end of an otherwise standard USB cable and increases the price by 400%. Ridiculous. This is enough reason to look to other UPS brands.
