Cabling Guidelines
To communicate with the host, each PowerTrust UPS comes with an
RS-232-C serial connector, HP part number 5061-2569 (pinouts shown in
Table 9-1, “UPS Cable Pin-Outs.”) The cable has a male DB-9 connector
on the UPS end and a male DB-25 connector on the MUX end, and is 2
meters (6.5 feet) long. If this length is insufficient, you can extend it by
using a straight-through 25-wire RS-232-C extender cable (3062C, 25
feet long) from the MUX port to the DB-25 connector end of the cable
supplied with the UPS, and then the UPS cable to the DB-9 connector of
the UPS. Total RS-232-C cable length should be no more than ten meters
maximum.
