Environment

  • Python version: 3.8
  • NetBox version: 2.10

Proposed Functionality

Ports should be configurable as TERA under the "Copper" section. At the moment, I can only select 8P8C, which doesn't even exist for Cat7 (technically it's GG45, which is only backwards-compatible to 8P8C).

Use Case

Cat7 cabling with TERA connectors.

Database Changes

New port type.

External Dependencies

None

Are you willing to accept one? And do you think it would make sense to add a connector type also to interfaces and not just ports?
