NetBox version

v3.1.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, there are missing Interface types especially for glass fiber, like LC, SC or ST connectors. Those are already front/rearport types but aren't listed in interface types.

Use case

There are devices like mediaconverter that have interfaces with those connectors.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

These aren't listed because they're physical termination form factors, not interface types. This is covered by the documentation.

Also, if the interface types are the protocols behind the interface, the glass fiber protocols are missing, like 1000BASE-SX, 10GBASE-LR. This would solve the problem with the mentioned devices.
