Field notes
The homepage exposes browsing by vendor, device type, and port type, alongside search by vendor, model, or ports. Sample rack-switch entries distinguish link speeds and connector types, including SFP+ (10GE) and QSFP+ (40GE). Device pages are said to include sources, dimensions and power where known, and YAML; drawings are generated from port data, with positions described as approximate unless a device page says otherwise.
