Cables

The Device42 cables module can track the origin, end connection(s), length, and path for each of your cables.

The origin and endpoint types can be patch panel ports, switch ports, devices, circuits, or other cables. A given cable endpoint can also be an origin for multiple other cables.

Navigate to Infrastructure > Connectivity > Cables to view and add cables.

Cables also have their own unique properties. In addition to length, connector type, and location, cables support custom fields.
