I have a lot of patch panels that are a 1 to 1 connection. So port 1 on the rear of patch panel a is tied to port 1 on the rear of patch panel b via multimode and the same for the rest of the ports. Is there a way to bulk update my patch panel rear port connections? 

Thanks for any help!

I did this and it is simple to do one you got it. Here is a CSV file you can follow modifying the Cable Type, device names, port names and Color.

Ahh I miss read you can mass update rear-ports in /dcim/rear-ports/ by selecting the ones and clicking Edit Selected at the bottom.
I have a example Import I did on rear-ports if you need that as well.
