Not sure how it added the extra tab in
(TYPE_DOCSIS, 'DOCSIS'),
(TYPE_BNC, 'BNC'),

Should read
(TYPE_DOCSIS, 'DOCSIS'),
(TYPE_BNC, 'BNC'),

DOCSIS is a protocol, and BNC is a connector type. Neither of these would make sense to add as a cable type.

Okay even weirder that it removed the tab in the comment.

@jeremystretch I thought that was odd, but the coaxial section under interfaces shows the DOCIS type as an option.
Maybe replace DOCIS with BNC?

@jeremystretch Okay I see now where I was confused. BNC is already listed under "front port" types. I guess that makes sense since interface type isn't a "connector". Thanks for helping me through my senior moment.

Only issue now is that I have to add a rear port when I'm creating a front port. That doesn't make sense when I'm adding a port to a device to connect something external.

You can add rear ports without associating a front port. The front/rear declaration is only for differentiating between mapped ports.

I'm going to close this out as the FR is untenable.
