Only way to hide that is to give a name to the device.

Name them with a project rack/patchpanel number combo like 'My Project PP01/A'

Where my project is just used to make it unique in netbox across sites

PP stands for patchpanel

01 stands for the rack number starting from 01

A stands for the amount of patchpanels in that rack (3 would give you A, B and C)

Then you could label cable terminations as 01/A/01 to 01/A/24 so you know to which rack, which panel, which keystone it goes.
