Adapting a USB UPS cable to a 9 pin Serial on Routerboard

Fri Sep 04, 2009 10:36 pm

USB to serial adapters are common and I own several. I am stating that so no one says "Buy a USB to serial converter"...

That being said, does anyone have a solution for connecting a UPS with only a USB cable to a RouterBoard with a 9 pin serial?

you cannot connect an UPS other than APC, if you're talking about that

Attaching an APC UPS is what I wanted to do. Hard to find them with serial any more. Thanks.
