We ran into the same issue. Using Export on cables gives a CSV with
the following headers:

termination_a_type,termination_a_id,termination_b_type,termination_b_id,type,status,label,color,length,length_unit

But the import for cables expects:

side_a_device,side_a_type,side_a_name,side_b_device,side_b_type,side_b_name

Which means when you want to import the data back you need to rename the headers and replace all device id's with the device names.

Duplicate of #4429. Please note that this is expected behavior, as the CSV import fields are customizable.
