Originally created by @WagoL on GitHub (Sep 4, 2025).

NetBox version

4.3.2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently I'm trying to model my cabeling from a QSFP28 port. I have a transceiver in there that breaks out that takes an MPO and brakes out to 4*LC. I want two of these to go into an interface and the other two to go into a frontport of another device.
When trying this now you get this message "Cannot connect different termination types to same end of cable.".

Use case

Model like in the real world your breakout cabling.

Database changes

No knowledge about that.

External dependencies

No knowledge about that.

This isn't something we can support with our data model, which assumes(/asserts) that all nodes along a path must be of the same type.

Do you have alternative methods how to model this?

You can use two separate cables to connect the interfaces on one side to the varying terminations on the other.
