Reference Guide

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.
Table 10. CIM_PhysicalConnector Properties
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.
