I guess I'm a bit off-topic now, but found zero results for 'APC 
eight-pin cable' in Google.  Does anyone have the image, or if I asked 
my local PC shop to make cables, do you think they would know?  I'll 
probably ask them as they gave/sold me the UPSes and I don't feel 
skilled with hardware...
