Originally created by @jeremystretch on GitHub (Jan 11, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.1.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Display a small drawing or photo of a connector type when selected in a form. For example, when adding a power outlet to a device, selecting the IEC 60320 C13 outlet form factor should display a small informational drawing of the connector. Selecting a different type would then update the displayed drawing.

The SVG rendering of various power connector types found here on Wikipedia are a great example, and available under a Creative Commons license. Other component types may be more difficult to obtain/create.

Use case

Including a visual representation of the selected connector type would help users find the correct type and avoid errant selections.

Database changes

None should be needed. We can just name the image files after the database values for each option (assuming a consistent file extension is used).

External dependencies

Any such included drawings or photographs would need to be sourced having an appropriate license (such as Creative Commons) or an original creation.
