Originally created by @benwa on GitHub (Apr 20, 2023).

NetBox version

V3.4.8

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Make power ports have the ability to have multiple connector types.

Use case

Data center PDUs are now being sold with 4-in-1 ports that cover C13/C15/C19/C21 in one form factor. I can certainly see this as a standard onto itself, it a mix and match situation.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

This is the "HDOT Cx" outlet type, which is already available in NetBox as a choice under the "proprietary" heading.

I did some sleuthing, but it doesn't look like APC publishes that. The best I could find is for a PDU that has both C13/C15 and C13/C15/C19/C21 ports.

Understood. Unfortunately, we can't add a type that hasn't been assigned a canonical name.

If these types of ports become more prevalent, so you see the possibility of the power port model changing to allow for one physical port to many port types? That way we can accurately tell how many of a specific compatible port is available or in use?

No; this is still a single discrete type of outlet. It just happens to be compatible with multiple types of ports.

Understood. From an operations point of view, what would be your suggestion for modeling this?
