Are you referring to the primary key which represents the connection in the database? I would strongly recommend against using this for anything real-world, as it's really only significant within NetBox.

We do plan to implement fields for patch cable labeling as part of the initiative to start tracking physical cable plants.

I was using a personal ipam solution but i'm not a dev so there was a lot of bug and not a lot of features. But i was generating a single id for each connection/cable enter in the ipam so i can have a reference.

Using a template to generate a unique label for cables and save it in netbox for reference could be usefull.
