    The pinout hits I am googling are mostly for a 10P10C (RJ50).

    I did find one pinout here: http://www.nas-forum.com/forum/topic/19 ... e__st__140

  • The one from APC should work also. Anyone have the Pin-Out for this Cable?

    The Prices for a buyed Cable are to many expensive. For the cost of this Cable u can get a new UPS ://
  • Hi

    The UPS have an RJ-45 Connector to USB, also RJ-45 <-> USB Type A (flat). If you buy a new one ther are two Calbles in the Package one RJ-45 <-> RS-232 and one RJ-45 <-> USB, both Cables are with no logik. It looks like the same as from APC, but APC use a RJ-50 <-> USB with other pins.

    What type of socket does it have. I finally managed to find specs and it says for management it has USB and RS-232. It just does not tell which USB socket it has, square or flat. Flat is normally for the host (the ones on the ReadyNAS) and the square is normally for the attached device (as found on hard drives, etc). If it is the square socket then a standard USB cable should work, if the flat then you need a USB cable with two flat connectors.
    You can see a picture here: http://www.fusionps.com.au/products/ups ... e_Max.html

    It appears to filter a single ethernet connection (the top two connectors on the right), and also have an additional RJ45 connector for the control port. I believe there are two custom cables available for the control port, one which adapts it to RS-232, the other adapts it to USB. Some APC UPS also do it this way. You can find a cable here: http://www.thenerds.net/STARTECHCOM.Sta ... ml#details - though I don't know for sure if that will work with the Ellipse, or just the APC.
