I know less than nothing about any UPS cable .... but it does twig my
curiosity when the same respondent first says that "you can't make your
own. They are top secret." and then, when someone posts pinouts, he
follows up with "electronic components are included in the cable".
I suppose he could be referring to wires and insulation as electronic
components?
If I had a cable, I would be taking measurements for all possible pin
combinations right about now .... just to satisfy my curiosity.
(Measurements would include resistance, diode check, inductance,
capacitance, and maybe a few others depending on what the first ones
revealed.)
Be careful if you try this though. Some meters use up to 9V for some
tests and that can fry some low voltage components ... if there are any.
