#### Mark as Connected Without a Cable ([#3648](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/3648))
Cable termination objects (circuit terminations, power feeds, and most device components) can now be marked as "connected" without actually attaching a cable. This helps simplify the process of modeling an infrastructure boundary where you don't necessarily know or care what is connected to the far end of a cable, but still need to designate the near end termination.
In addition to the new `mark_connected` boolean field, the REST API representation of these objects now also includes a read-only boolean field named `_occupied`. This conveniently returns true if either a cable is attached or `mark_connected` is true.
