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. 16 links match no cable rule and add no line to the cable list. 9 connections point at gear or ports that are no longer in the catalog and are not listed.
