The CIM_PhysicalLink class represents the cabling of physical elements together. For example, serial or Ethernet cables, and infrared Links would be subclasses (if additional properties or associations are defined) or instances of CIM_PhysicalLink. In many cases, the numerous physical cables within a physical package or network will not be modeled. However, where these cables or links are critical components, or are tagged assets of the company, these objects can be instantiated using this class or one of its descendent classes.
