Cable utilization tactile identification system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a chassis;
• a processing system that is housed in the chassis;
• a plurality of ports that are accessible on the chassis and that are coupled to the processing system;
• a first cable utilization tactile identification subsystem including:
• a first cable connector that is connected to a first port included in the plurality of ports;
• a first cable that extends from the first cable connector and that includes a first outer surface that has a first color that is configured to visually identify a first utilization of the first cable utilization tactile identification subsystem;
• and
• a first texture pattern that is provided on the first outer surface and that corresponds to the first color to tactilely identify the first utilization of the first cable utilization tactile identification subsystem;
• and
• a second cable utilization tactile identification subsystem including:
• a second cable connector that is connected to a second port included on the plurality of ports;
• a second cable that extends from the second cable connector and that includes a second outer surface that has a second color that is different than the first color and that is configured to visually identify a second utilization of the second cable utilization tactile identification subsystem that is different than the first utilization;
• and
• a second texture pattern that is different than the first texture pattern, that is included on the second outer surface, and that corresponds to the second color to tactilely identify the second utilization of the second cable utilization tactile identification subsystem.

A method for providing tactile identification of cable utilization, comprising:

• connecting, by a first cable connector on a first cable utilization tactile identification subsystem, to a first port include on a computing device;
• visually identifying, by a first color that is provided on a first outer surface on a first cable that extends from the first cable connector, a first utilization of the first cable utilization tactile identification subsystem;
• and
• tactilely identifying, by a first texture pattern that is provided on the first outer surface of the first cable and that corresponds to the first color, the first utilization of the first cable utilization tactile identification subsystem.
