Add additional copper port types, expand copper (coaxial) cable types, organize cable types

[pmsharp2]

NetBox version

v4.3.2

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Netbox only currently supports two coaxial port types, F Connector and N connector. While these are by far the most common there are additional types.
Propose the following changes:
Add: FME, SMA, SMB, SMC, TNC

In cable types coaxial cable is limited to "coaxial".
Propose the following changes:
Add: rg-6, rg-59, rg-62, rg-8, rg-11, rg-213, LMR, twinaxial, triaxial.

Use case

In an environment that uses different types of coaxial cable being able to break down with more detail the types of cable and their connectors is valuable

Database changes

None, these fields are solely drop down menus.

External dependencies

None

Additional organization of the cable types drop down.

Please split proposal into a separate FR, so it doesn't get conflated with the introduction of new cable/port types.

I have separated the request: #19865 and removed that from the original request.

I'm also happy volunteer to add these cables. (selfishly, I have an ongoing project that would benefit from having them)

This is a reminder that additional information is needed in order to further triage this issue. If the requested details are not provided, the issue will soon be closed automatically.

Some discussion about SMA etc connector types was in #16334 and unfortunately the proposal didn't make it.
