NetBox version

v3.0.11

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Cables table (dcim/cables/) shows

  • Side A/Side B
  • Termination A/Termination B
    I propose also showing Rack A/Rack B in which respective Side A/Side B Devices are installed (as a link, same as Sides and Terminations) if it is a device. For Circuits (which do not have a Rack) the field could be empty or null.

Rack A/Rack B fields which will get it's values automatically (and will be not not editable manually) from Side A/Side B of a given cable can also be added to Cable properties.

Use case

Employees operating cables often need to know from which rack to which it runs. Finding this out now requires extra clicking to view each side. Outputting racks right in the table with cable properties will make things more convenient and faster.

We can add these as optional columns, however they should not be displayed by default.

Nice, non-default would be great.
