APCUPSD Voltage Signalling Simple-Custom Cable for Best Power Fortress Rackmount 750 VA, 1050 VA, 1425 VA, 1800 VA, and 2250 VA

You do not have this cable unless you built it yourself. The Simple-Custom cable is not an Best Power product.

For smart UPSes (such as Best Power Fortress Rackmount) using voltage signalling, if you are going to build your own cable, we recommend to make the cable designed by the apcupsd team as follows:
