Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for facilitating cable plugging in a network by wirelessly reading, by a hand-held mobile device, connector identifying information directly from a tag associated with a cable connector at one end of a cable to be plugged in the network. The hand-held mobile device uses the connector identifying information to ascertain guidance for where to properly plug the cable connector in the network, and based on ascertaining the guidance, an action is performed to assist in properly plugging the cable connector in the network.
