Add Support for Screw terminals (Power Ports)

[martinum4]

NetBox version

v2.11.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Add "Screw block" or some similar wording in a category "Other" to the power ports and power outlets.

Use case

A lot of high power devices (mainly UPS and PDU) offer screw terminals as a power connection option.
Netbox already has support for "DC Terminals", however this FR mainly regards AC, but obviously can be used for DC as well.

Example products that have a screw block:

Database changes

From what i can tell only new additional values for existing tables.

External dependencies

None.

What is the exact type being proposed?

[martinum4]

I'm not an english native speaker, i'd probably go with the same as the manufacturers, which would be "hardwired", is this ok?

THIS was the issue I was looking for! Thanks. 🙂

Power Outlet type "Hardwired" is needed as well, as was listed in the OP. Currently the only way to model large UPS - for example - is to leave Type empty.

Large UPS may have bus bars where thick three-phase cables are bolted in - both on input and output side.
