A rack may include a frame having vertical uprights and transverse members coupled together so as to form boundaries of an internal volume of the rack. The boundaries may include a first lateral face, a second lateral face, a front face, and a back face. A cartridge can be installed forward or rearward of the front face and laterally inward from the first lateral face or the second lateral face. Cables may be connected between the cartridge and a plurality of appliances. The cables may include a first cable extending between the cartridge and a first appliance supported by the rack. The cables may further include a second cable extending between a second appliance and the cartridge so as to establish a signal path between the first appliance and the second appliance through the first cable, the cartridge, and the second cable.

Cartridge for interconnectivity among rack-mounted computing components

Systems, methods, and devices for identifying characteristics of communication cable are described. For example, a connector of a communication cable may include a set of pins. When the connector is plugged into an active device such as a transceiver, a pattern of the set of pins may be determined. This pattern may be associated with a characteristic of the communication cable (e.g., manufacture, manufacturing date, etc.).
