Works fine with Linux and my older SmartUPS 1500
Not much to say other than it works. I have it connected to an older APC SmartUPS 1500 deskside UPS. On the Linux side of things, I'm using the 'apcupsd' daemon. Just tell apcupsd that you're using a 940-0024c cable and it's good to go.

Works great on my old APC RM700
I use this on my old APC RM700 connected to a Raspberry Pi running NUTS to shutdown all my devices during an extended power outage. Works great.

Works Great, did exactly what it needed to do
I was looking for a way to connect an old APC UPS to a modern computer. I mostly wanted it to be able to shut the alarm off. I never even had the original proprietary DB9-to-DB9 connector. I was looking for many ways to make this connection happen, this was easiest for the price.It's odd to think about but this might be one of the only pieces of computer equipment you keep around over many years that is not just nostalgic but practical. This cable keeps this tech nicely connected and I am getting to like the extra info and settings this provides over just shutting off the alarm.I have used this with Linux (Fedora 32) as well, no problems with it.

Worked great
Changed the COM on the adapter to 2 and used it with APCFIX to reset the battery constant on my older 2200 XL backup unit. So far so good.

Works Perfectly. Serial port no longer needed. Handy USB to Serial all-in-one cable.
Worked perfectly. Used with Windows 11. No drivers needed. Showed up as COM3. Used Putty and set baud rate to 2400. Connected to multiple APC SMART UPSs and easily reset IP addresses to DHCP on a bunch of used SNMP WEB Management Cards. So much better than having to scan a huge range of possible IPs. Saved me a ton of time. 2 Thumbs Up!

Funktioniert einwandfrei bei meiner APC USV
Hab das Kabel für meine APC USV gekauft, ist ein Älteres Modell (VA 750, Rackmount), da diese noch keinen USB Anschluss hatt, da mir die Original Netzwerkkarte dafür zu teuer war.Hab die USV damit an mein Synology NAS angeschlossen, weil die einen USV server hat, somt kann ich auch meinen Rechner damit Absicher und Herunterfahren lassen.Von mir Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Works as promised - Windows 10 took a moment to install drivers automatically
This USB to APC serial adapter works a treat! Upon plugging in the converter, Windows complained that it could not find drivers, however, the issue was self-resolved without having to look any further.A purpose-built USB to Serial adapter like this is almost mandatory if you have an older APC UPS system like a Smart UPS and wish to configure it / any management card(s). You are able to modify the battery calibration values in software, helping to prolong the life of your battery packs by changing the gain on the UPS, causing it to float your batteries at a slightly lower voltage.This beats the heck out of hacking together an old serial cable (if you even have one on hand) with the required custom pin-out for APC. Highly recommend this for anyone working with APC UPS systems.
