Note that APC UPS serial cable part numbers follow a numbering scheme
where the "940-" prefix identifies them as cables.
940-1000 straight through cable
940-0103 null modem cable
940-0020 Basic Signaling Cable (OB and kill power)
940-0023 Simple Signaling Cable (OB only)
940-LL24 Smart Signaling Cable
940-0095 PnP Cable (see Apcupsd manual for diagram)
940-0119 Simple Signaling Cable (OB and kill power)
940-0127 RJ45-10P10C to USB Cable
940-0128 Simple Signaling Cable for Back-UPS CS
"LL" represents the length:
00 six feet
NN NN feet
The suffix letter represents a minor revision in physical design, or a
change of OEM, _not_ a change of wiring or pin-out, and all cables
differing only in this suffix letter are electrically interchangeable.
Note though the following quote from the APC Discussion Forums: "At one
point there were a small number of revision D cables [940-0024D] that
had some shielding issues from the manufacturer that could maybe cause
[...] [spontaneous] self-tests)."

| Operation: The UPS communicates with the Computer via |
| the RS-232 handshaking lines only, and does not use any |
| serial protocol. Upon power fail, the UPS forces CTS to |
| -V MARK. When the battery is low, the UPS forces DCD to |
| +V SPACE via the transistor. When the Computer forces a |
| +V SPACE on DTR, the UPS will shut down and turn off. |
| Presence of the cable can be sensed by signaling on TXD |
| while monitoring DCD. |
