Originally created by @JoeIzzard on GitHub (Aug 11, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.2.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Expand the MPO connector types to be more detailed. Currently it only lists MPO, however the number of fibre's within the MPO connector are an important aspect. As such we should add:

  • MPO12
  • MPO16
  • MPO24
  • MPO36
  • MPO48

I would suggest we leave MPO in place so we don't break anyones existing data, and just add the new ones to allow you to be more precise if you want to.

Use case

Better documentation, especially in connection with #13375

We mostly use MPO12 however have on occasion found other versions which we only realise at the last minute. Having this documented would be a big improvement.

Database changes

None, only requires adding more hardcoded connector types.

External dependencies

None

I haven't seen 32 and 48 connectors, but apparently they are out there. IMO I would omit them until someone asks for it.

That said, I would perhaps add 4 and 8.

I have seen them as an option when purchasing a few times, and MPO48 would be related to OpticalCON Connectors used in Entertainment (#12534). As these are usually a pass-through having the official MPO variant would be useful for anyone using them. I have seen 36 less so would be happy dropping that from the request for now.

I do agree we should add 4 & 8 too.
