How to use Cable Profiles in 4.5.0

[NSpikings-dB]

Is there any further documentation or guides on how to use the new Cable Profiles feature in 4.5.0 than in the release notes?

I can select a Cable Profile from the drop down when creating/editing a cable, but I'm not sure what to do with it after that. I had assumed that I would then need to assign the cores/positions to interfaces, but I've not spotted how to do that yet if that is the case.

I've also found that the cable trace stops working properly when I add a cable profile. This is what the track looks like before I add a Cable Profile:

And this is what it looks like after I add a Cable Profile:

I assume I'm missing something!

I'm getting the feeling that this was something of a half-baked idea / implementation. The documentation for this feature is basically non-existent and doesn't even do a good job of describing what the different profiles are supposed to represent / how they are to be understood. I would recommend holding off on using cable profiles until they can actually produce documentation that describes their functionality and shows how to properly use them (if you notice even the demo Netbox install doesn't implement them anywhere).
