I got one of these a couple of months ago. It came with a 940-0127E 
cable. Apcupsd 3.14.0 can see the device.

It can't kill the power, but that's because I've got too old a kernel 
(2.4.20-derived), and I can't seem to come up with a 2.4.34 kernel 
configuration that is stable (kernel oopses in the serial port interrupt 
handler; nothing to do with the UPS).

I don't know the difference between these cables; I'm not sure whether 
they are significant. They could just be different lengths, or 
with/without ferrite core, or made by different manufacturers (mine was 
made by FCI (Framatome Connectors Int'l)).
