Methodology
Cables should be given per-cable serial numbers, not labelled based on what the endpoint is (e.g. "mirrors port 1").
Each cable is labelled per it's type (Ethernet, Fiber, Power) then given a unique numeric number (ex. "E101").
IDs should always increment upward, do not reuse old cable IDs on new cables (except when rolling over back to 000, if it becomes necessary).
Simply delete an ID from the table when the cable is no longer in use.
