Computer networks are implemented using networking equipment such as, for example, optical networking ports, routers, and switches that are communicatively coupled with each other, often via physical media such as fiber optic cables. For example, a network may be implemented, in part, by coupling input/output ports of optical networking ports with router ports.
As the size of computer networks has expanded, the number of networking devices needed to implement those networks has increased and the interconnections between networking devices has become more complex. In the case of computer data centers which often comprise scores of computing resources, a high density of networking equipment and a complicated series of cable connections is often required to interconnect the numerous computing resources.
