Zusammenfassung:	A method of tracking, using an automated infrastructure management (AIM) system (100) that infers connections involving ports of patching equipment based on events associated with the connections, the method comprising for a breakout cable (160) having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end defines a breakout end that includes a plurality of independent breakout connectors (164), identifying, using user output provided via a user interface device (150), a sequence for adding or removing connections involving the breakout connectors (164) of the breakout cable (160); identifying, by the AIM system, events associated with adding or removing connections involving each of the breakout connectors (164) of the breakout cable (160); and associating, by the AIM system, each of the breakout connectors (164) of the breakout cable (160) with added or removed connections based on the identified sequence and the identified events.
