New cable Type

[bclanton40]

I want to create a cable type..."Thin cable" since we are switching out our switch cables to 'thin' for better cable management but leaving some of the inter-rack and 'VOIP' cables with the standard cat 5/6 cable.

I went into the cable.py code but it appears that variables are set that might be referenced elsewhere. Is it possible to accomplish this by making an entry in one location?

I'm not so sure that it would be classified as a different cable "type," since they are still Cat6/6a, etc cables. There seems to be conflicting naming of these cable options as well, such as "thin" or "slim." Personally, I would classify these with a new field for wire gauge, but not sure if it would be worth the hassle of adding into NetBox. Other options include creating a custom field with a drop down for "Standard" or "Thin" cables (defaulting to standard).
