v4.3.5

Feature type

Proposed functionality

Since modeling SFP transciever via modules has now become best practice, it would make sense to include a default SFP transciever module type profile with each Netbox installation.

Use case

This would provide users with a framework that could be used for things like the devicetype-library.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Aug 14, 2025):

We recently added one new example profile definition under FR #19571, however it was decided then that we would not continue adding more. The profiles we ship with NetBox are solely intended to provide examples; they are not meant to serve as a canonical reference in any respect. The device type library would be a more suitable home for these.
