📄 Description

Fixes: #19865

Summary

Regroups CableTypeChoices into clearer headings to improve scanability of the cable type dropdown. This is a UI‑only change; no slugs or stored values are modified.

Proposed UI grouping

  • Copper — Ethernet (Twisted Pair)
    • CAT3, CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, CAT7, CAT7a, CAT8, MRJ21 Trunk
  • Copper — Twinax (DAC)
    • Direct Attach Copper (Active), Direct Attach Copper (Passive)
  • Copper — Coaxial
    • Coaxial
  • Fiber — Multimode
    • Multimode Fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4/OM5)
  • Fiber — Singlemode
    • Singlemode Fiber (OS1/OS2)
  • Fiber — Other / Active
    • Active Optical Cabling (AOC)
  • Other
    • USB, Power

Rationale

Makes the dropdown easier to read by grouping related families; keeps coax generic for now.

Backward compatibility

No breaking changes. Existing API slugs and database values remain unchanged.
