Abstract: 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.).
