The OpenGear stuff in this repo has model names that are like CM7132-2-DAC-US, while the actual model name of these devices are CM7132-2-DAC (label on device, and that is what they call themselves). If you would order them, you do need to specify either -US or -EU, which will result in a different cable in your box but with an identical device. So the -US/-EU are order codes and not model names. I think the cable type should be modeled in netbox using dcim.cables and not with a dcim.device_type :-)
The reason I came across this, is that we have some of these devices, which are ordered as -EU and will not be matched. I originally wanted to submit a PR to add the -EU types, but I think the model names should to be corrected instead.
The original seems to be submitted by @ryanmerolle, what's your opinion on this?
