Cable properties missing

[jmcbxl]

Data about cabling is currently stored by using fields in "fac_ports table". Doing so requires to store some informations twice in the port table : "connected port", "connected device", "notes" need to be stored at each end of the cable.
Should be better to implement a "fac_cable" table and refering the cable by it's internal id.

This would allow some more possibilities for managing cabling :

• fields for length, labels, electrical properties, connector type, ...
• generating unique labeling much more easily
• keep track of a cable that is not connected at one or both sides (either in the rack or in a box for future use, ...)

very good idea.

I totally agree. Label property will fill the gap which I suffer at cabling. And also this field should be placed in "View cable path" diagram and reports like "Network Map Viewer". Using notes in connection is not a useful workaround.
