Originally created by @pheus on 3/31/2026

NetBox version

v4.5.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I’d like to propose expanding InterfaceSpeedChoices to include additional modern interface speeds that are now common in current datacenter and backbone environments:

50 Gbps
800 Gbps
1.6 Tbps

Using the same numeric scale already present in the existing choice set.

Use case

NetBox is often used to model modern production networks, and these speeds are increasingly relevant:

50 Gbps is widely deployed for server NICs, uplinks, and breakout scenarios.
800 Gbps is already used in newer switching platforms and optics.
1.6 Tbps is emerging in current-generation and near-future hardware.

Database changes

None.

External dependencies

None.
