APC by Schneider Electric AP9804 Serial Cable
Overview
The APC AP9804 is a serial cable designed to provide console access for APC Smart-UPS and other compatible devices to network management cards. This cable is essential for initial configuration, troubleshooting, and direct management of UPS units when network access is unavailable or requires a direct connection. It terminates in standard 9-pin D-sub (DB-9) connectors on both ends, facilitating a straightforward connection between a UPS's serial port and a network management card's serial interface.
Compatibility
This cable is specifically designed for use with APC Smart-UPS models that feature a serial console port. It is compatible with APC Network Management Cards (NMCs) such as the AP9630, AP9631, AP9635, and subsequent generations that utilize a DB-9 serial port for console communication. Always verify your specific UPS model and Network Management Card documentation for precise compatibility requirements.
Installation Notes
The AP9804 cable requires a direct physical connection between the UPS serial port and the Network Management Card's serial port. Ensure both devices are powered off or in a safe state before connecting the cable to prevent potential electrical surges. The cable is passive and does not require any drivers or software installation on the connected devices; it functions as a direct serial data conduit.
