Abstract
A cable management system includes a cable that transmits data between information handling systems (IHSs). The cable includes a first end and a second end that is opposite the cable from the first end. A first connector is located on the first end of the cable and couples the cable to a first IHS. A second connector is located on the second end of the cable and couples the cable to a second IHS. A first communication system is located adjacent the first end of the cable. The first communication system receives and stores first IHS information about the first IHS when the first connector is coupled to the first IHS and second IHS information about the second IHS when the second connector is coupled to the second IHS. The first communication system may then provide the first and second IHS information to a management device.
