Originally created by @onewrx on GitHub (Aug 27, 2021).

NetBox version

v2.11.10

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When adding a rear or front port, adding the cable type to multimode or singlemode fiber cables would be helpful.

It would also be nice to change the cable types by myself instead of using the pre configured ones.

Use case

Many different customers have different use cases and that is why singlemode and multimode fiber cables should be integrated in the software. If i have to patch a new connection, i would like to see which cable i should take with me to the patchrack.

NetBox already provides the option to specify the cable type when creating a cable. This is an attribute of the cable, not the port.

It would also be nice to change the cable types by myself instead of using the pre configured ones.

Are you manufacturing custom cables that don't conform to any known standard? If not, there should be no reason to create your own types. If you believe a new type of cable needs to be added to NetBox, please open a FR for that specifically, and we'll evaluate.
