Proposed Functionality

Additon of form factor for 50G QSFP28 for interfaces.
Code line change in file netbox/dcim/constants.py, (only addition of two lines, for example)

# Ethernet
IFACE_FF_50GE_QSFP28 = 1450
...
IFACE_FF_CHOICES = [
'Ethernet (modular)',
        [
         [IFACE_FF_50GE_QSFP28, 'QSFP28 (50GE)'],
... 

Use Case

50G is also common like 25G, 40G in Ethernet(modular).

Database Changes

No change in database

I could be mistaken but I don't think 50GE uses SFP28. I'm also having a hard time tracking down a commercially-available transceiver for reference.

@jeremystretch I did check this out myself, I couldn't find any transceivers and couldn't definitively find out whether it is QSFP28 or SFP56/QSFP56 (which is what it seems to suggests).

Doing a little more digging:

According to this, it looks like it might be:

• QSFP28 (2x25g)
• SFP56 (1x50g)

100G QSFP28 is 4 x 25G, you can break it out to 4 x 25, 2 x 50 or 1 x 100G

Thanks @dnyt84
@jeremystretch , would you accept it now?
