NetBox version

4.3.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

I propose showing Unit A and Unit B in which respective Side A/Side B Devices are installed. For Circuits (which do not have a Unit) the field could be empty or null.

Use case

Employees operating cables often need to know not only from which rack the cable is routed to and from which rack, but also to immediately see which unit the device is located in. Outputting units right in the table with cable properties will make things more convenient and faster.

Database changes

Unfortunately this would exceed scope of the cables table, however you might consider writing an export template to export the required additional detail for specific use cases.
