NetBox version

v3.1.5

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Hello.
As NB doesn't have functionality to indicate connection through breakout, please add more cable:
DAC breakout
AOC breakout
MTPtoLC MM
MTPtoLC SM
In current version you can't realise that you are using breakout cable without comparing speed of links, and it's complicated.

Use case

By adding extra types for breakout you can find that you using breakout just checking cable, without additional checks.

Database changes
