Class CIM_PhysicalLink
extends CIM_PhysicalElement

The PhysicalLink class represents the cabling of PhysicalElements together. For example, serial or Ethernet cables would be subclasses (if additional properties or associations are defined) or instances of PhysicalLink. In many cases, the numerous physical cables within a PhysicalPackage 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.
