This would be a perfect plugin for Netbox! (https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox)

I've always had stuff like this turned down by Netbox, they argue they want to model the logical topology as a source to trust, not the physicality, but then they model rack U placement. I'm always puzzled by their stance.

Like you can't model 1 cat5 split into two 100mb terminations, patch panels are kinda of hack, I think you can now but forever you couldn't just swap a termination direction because logically why would you (but their UI gets messy when 44 are done A-B and the 45th B-A)

Anyway that's thoughts as of maybe v2 or 3? Before the new UI when it was all jquery.
