U5L is the rack address — slot 5, left half of the shelf — so rows land on a specific box even when the rig holds several of the same model. Off-rack gear has no slot and carries none. Port names are the ones the builder wrote on this rig. Cable types resolve from the port pair at each end. 9 links match no cable rule and add no line to the cable list.
Cable prices are estimated at the second-shortest stocked length. 9 connections match no cable rule and produce no line here.
