(I was incorrect when I said 8P8C before - MGE uses 8P8C modular jacks for similar USB/serial proprietary cables.)

I'm sure they do. (sell extra cables) -- plus if you have crimpers and a USB cable with a dead micro/mini end, making another cable wouldn't be hard.

It's most definitely not Ethernet.

LIke I said - I have a BackUPS 350... it has the 8p8c modular connector and came with a cable that plugs into USB.
