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.
Table 11. 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.
