APC AP98275 UPS Signaling Cable for IBM AS/400 and IBM i | Power Systems

Keep critical IBM AS/400 and IBM i workloads protected with a signaling cable designed for UPS communication in Power Systems environments. The APC AP98275 connects supported APC UPS equipment to IBM platforms so shutdown signaling can be coordinated when utility power drops or runtime reaches a defined threshold. For infrastructure teams, the value is control. Instead of relying on generic cabling or improvised integration, this cable supports a purpose-built path for UPS signaling in environments where orderly shutdowns protect application state, transaction data, and system availability. That matters in legacy enterprise estates that still carry high business value and cannot tolerate avoidable recovery work. This is a focused accessory, not a commodity cable. It exists for a specific operational need: preserving communication between power protection hardware and IBM systems. In that role, it helps reduce risk during outages and supports the disciplined power-management practices expected in production data centers and branch server rooms alike.
