CIM_PhysicalConnector
The CIM_PhysicalConnector class explained in Table 2-9 includes physical elements such as plugs,

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 Table 2-10 for a list of valid connector
