either it is actual Ethernet (usually found on an
add-on UPS SNMP monitoring card, where the jack
typically has two status LEDs, one on either side of
the notch for the modular plug tab) that needs to go
to another Ethernet jack on a NIC or a switch, or it
is a proprietary APC cable that vaguely resembles an
Ethernet cable on one end. (I was incorrect when I
said 8P8C before - MGE uses 8P8C modular jacks for
similar USB/serial proprietary cables.)</div>

<p>And I should have added similar commentary. <br>
<br>
unless the UPS comes with known networking hardware, that 8P8C is
probably not ethernet. <br>
<br>
I should have added -- I have a Back-UPS 350 that has an 8P8C
connector on it that plugs into USB.<br>
<br>
it's a low-cost, non-network enable UPS. So I wouldn't have
assumed it was ethernet. (knowing APC and the model).<br>
<br>
But Cisco uses 8P8C connectors on their switches as a console plug
too. (non-ethernet usage) and the phone company used them LONG
before anyone for things like T1 lines.</p>

modular connector: <a

<br class="">
<div class="">Correction to my correction: apparently APC uses
both 8-pin and 10-pin modular jacks.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The SmartUPS C1000 has a 10-pin jack labeled serial
(and the industry-standard USB Type B jack for USB, hooray), but
for your models, a few images online seem to show an 8-pin jack
labeled "data port" for the BackUPS Pro 1000 and BackUPS NS
1080.</div>
