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
Table 11. CIM_PhysicalConnector Properties
Property Description Data Type
ConnectorPinout A free-form string describing the pin
conguration and signal usage of a physical
connector.
string
ConnectorType An array of integers dening the type of
physical connector. An array is specied 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 dene the
connector as male. See
Connector Type
Values for the values of the ConnectorType
property.
