Product Features
Technical Overview
This data transfer cable features male USB Type A and RJ-45 connectors that match the pinouts of smart UPS communication ports. The USB end connects to a computer's USB port, while the RJ-45 end plugs into the UPS management interface.
The cable supports communication protocols for battery status monitoring, runtime calculations, graceful shutdown commands, and configuration management through UPS software. It transmits data only—no power delivery—making it compatible with UPS models that use separate power cables.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This replacement cable solves connectivity issues when original UPS cables are lost, damaged, or incompatible with newer systems. The ferrite core suppresses electromagnetic interference that can disrupt communication between UPS hardware and monitoring software.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Universal Compatibility, Reliable Construction.
Universal Compatibility
Works with computers, servers, workstations, and UPS devices from multiple manufacturers that use standard USB-to-RJ-45 smart UPS communication.
- Replaces OEM cables
- Standard pin configuration
- No driver installation required
Reliable Construction
Built with quality materials that withstand repeated plug/unplug cycles in professional environments.
- Ferrite core for EMI protection
- 28 AWG copper conductors
- Strain-relieved connectors
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this cable in any environment where UPS monitoring and management is essential. It enables computers to receive battery status alerts, configure UPS settings, and initiate automatic shutdown procedures during extended power outages.
Common deployment scenarios include server rooms where multiple UPS units need centralized monitoring, workstations running critical applications that require graceful shutdown protection, and retail POS systems where power interruptions could cause data loss.

Data Center Monitoring
Connect server management consoles to smart UPS units for real-time power status monitoring across rack-mounted equipment.
Workstation Protection
Enable automatic safe shutdown for desktop computers running financial, design, or medical software during power events.
Physical Profile
The cable features a standard black PVC jacket that resists kinking and maintains flexibility in tight spaces. At 6 feet long, it provides sufficient reach between equipment while minimizing cable clutter. The compact ferrite core near the USB connector effectively filters interference without adding bulk.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.60 oz (73.71 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What devices is this USB to RJ-45 cable compatible with?
This cable connects computers, servers, and workstations to smart UPS devices that use USB Type A to RJ-45 communication ports. It's designed as a replacement cable for APC, CyberPower, Tripp Lite, and other UPS brands with similar connectivity requirements for power management and monitoring.
How does the EMI protection work on this cable?
The cable includes a ferrite core that suppresses electromagnetic interference, which can disrupt communication between UPS hardware and monitoring software. This ensures reliable data transmission for battery status updates, configuration commands, and shutdown signals in electrically noisy environments like server rooms or industrial settings.
What is the cable length and wire gauge?
The cable measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) long with 28 AWG conductors. This length provides sufficient reach between equipment while minimizing excess cable, and the 28 AWG gauge balances flexibility with durability for repeated use in professional environments.
Does this cable deliver power or just data?
This cable transmits data only for UPS communication and management. It does not deliver power. The USB connection provides data communication for monitoring battery status, runtime calculations, and shutdown commands, while separate power cables handle electrical current delivery to connected devices.
What environmental certifications does this cable have?
The cable complies with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) standards. These certifications ensure the materials meet environmental safety requirements for restricted substances and end-of-life disposal.
