on an add-on UPS SNMP monitoring card, where the jack typically has
two status LEDs, one on either side of the notch for the modular plug
tab) that needs to go to another Ethernet jack on a NIC or a switch,
or it is a proprietary APC cable that vaguely resembles an Ethernet
cable on one end. (I was incorrect when I said 8P8C before - MGE uses
8P8C modular jacks for similar USB/serial proprietary cables.) [...]

The SmartUPS C1000 has a 10-pin jack labeled serial (and the
industry-standard USB Type B jack for USB, hooray), but for your
models, a few images online seem to show an 8-pin jack labeled "data
port" for the BackUPS Pro 1000 and BackUPS NS 1080. [...]

You could look for the pinout on internet and make one. That's what I did.
After all there are only 4 wires. 2 for data, V+ and V-.
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...
