Originally created by @dallenk on GitHub (Jul 1, 2024).

NetBox version

4.06

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

adding a new interface type for radio systems, which use N-type, TNC, or BNC connectors on the hardware. such as the Codan MT-4E transmitter/receiver cards (using N-type)

Use case

hardware used in radio systems, especially uhf/vhf are hybrid, and can combine IP interfaces with standard ethernet, and legacy connections to the field and antennas.

Database changes

i don't' believe this will need a new field.. but I'm not a coder.

External dependencies

No response

update

Apologies for the delay. I was on VA without internet access.

I am proposing 4 new connector types be included for device interfaces to accommodate a wide range of IP Radio rack mounted hardware currently in use by communications carriers and network providers. below are the most common types I used in the field, most often the "plug/male" is the cable connector, and the "jack/female" is the equipment side.

I hope this is enough for technical references you were looking for. If not let me know and I'll do what I can to provide you the right information.

some come in a "mini" size but for the purposes of netbox perhaps it doesn't need that much granularity?

Thank you!
