Originally created by @ghost on GitHub (Apr 7, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.2.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Currently, there are several different Copper connector types when adding 'Rear' port components to a device type. (110 punch, BNC, F Connector, etc.)

Please add the "RJ-45" connector type to this list.

Use case

Some copper patch panels are 'pass-through' patch panels that have a female/female couplers for each port on the panel allowing someone to take pre-made RJ-45 patch cables and plug them into both sides of the patch panel to make a connection.

Database changes

Add RJ-45 connector type to list of connector types in the rear port template 'Type' dropdown list.

External dependencies

None

You can already add 8p8c-connectors to front- and backports

As commented above, these are 8P8C ports. RJ45 is technically a specific wiring scheme for the 8P8C form factor.
