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. 8 links match no cable rule and add no line to the cable list. 5 connections point at gear or ports that are no longer in the catalog and are not listed.
