IIRC, back-ups series only work in "dumb" mode - but I'm not 100% sure. 
They should work either with usbhid-ups or genericups drivers (depending 
if they have usb port or not), but I have no first hand experience with 
them.

Both cables are for simple signalling, they differ in details though (I 
persume one is from BP650SI, the other BK650MI).
