1. A communication device, comprising:
- a communication port that comprises a first connector and a signal path communicatively coupled to the connector; and
a power management component configured to;
determine whether an external cable is mated to the first connector; and
transition the communication device to a sleep mode when it is determined that an external cable is not mated to the first connector.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for power management in communication devices, particularly based on cable connectivity. A communication device that comprise a communication port, comprising a first connector and a signal path communicatively coupled between device components and the connector, may be operable, such as via a power management component in the communication device, to determine whether an external cable is mated to the first connector and to transition the communication device to a sleep mode if it is determined that an external cable is not mated to the first connector.
