CIM_PhysicalConnector
The CIM_PhysicalConnector class listed in Physical Connector Properties includes physical elements such as plugs, jacks,
or buses that connect physical elements. Any object that can be used to connect and transmit signals or power between two or
more physical elements is a member of this class. For example, slots and D-shell connectors are types of physical connectors.
See Connector Type Values for a list of valid connector type values.
The following table describes the properties and data type of the CIM PhysicalConnector class.
Class Name: CIM_PhysicalConnector
Parent Class: CIM_PhysicalElement

Property Description Data Type
ConnectorPinout A free-form string describing the pin
configuration and signal usage of a
physical connector.
string
ConnectorType An array of integers defining the
type of physical connector. An array
is specified to allow the description
of combinations of connector
information. For example, one array
entry could specify RS-232, another
DB-25, and a third entry could define
the connector as male. See Connector
Type Values for the values of the
ConnectorType property.
