Cabling assist system

A cabling assist device, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a port connector that is included on the chassis;
• a transceiver device connector that is included on the chassis;
• a processing system that is coupled to the port connector and the transceiver device connector;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a cabling assist engine that is configured to:
• connect, via the port connector, to a first port included on a first computing device;
• receive, from the first computing device, first port connection information for the first port;
• transmit, to a user device, the first port connection information;
• connect, via the transceiver device connector, to a first transceiver device;
• retrieve, from the first transceiver device, first transceiver information;
• and
• transmit, to the user device, the first transceiver information.

A method for assisting with the cabling of computing devices, comprising:

• connecting, by a cabling assist device via a port connector included on the cabling assist device, to a first port included on a first computing device;
• receiving, by the cabling assist device from the first computing device, first port connection information for the first port;
• transmitting, by the cabling assist device to a user device, the first port connection information;
• connecting, by the cabling assist device via a transceiver device connector included on the cabling assist device, to a first transceiver device;
• retrieving, by the cabling assist device from the first transceiver device, first transceiver information;
• and
• transmitting, by the cabling assist device to the user device, the first transceiver information.
