Hi, I have an APC SU620INET UPS which connects to the computer via a serial cable.
I know APC uses proprietary serial cables with their products but I want to know if this older model uses a normal one. Also, are all APC serial cables the same? or did they make different cable for different lines of products ?

As far as I'm aware, all the SmartUPS serial cables were the same - I've never had a compatibility problem despite never making any effort to keep the serial cables that came with different APC UPSes apart.

were there any older models released that didn't require the proprietary cable?

I'm not aware of any. I don't know what kind of cable the non-Smart ones used for signalling. They may have used a conventional RS232 cable, perhaps.
