We use the 9314 backplanes exclusively, and have had no problems with them. The data never goes into a cable until it goes into the eia (terminal) cable. The description in the price list is somewhere between misleading and wrong. There are actually 16 50-pin connectors on the backplane, so that each slim plugs in to one. this connector is connected directly via the pc board which is the backplane to the eia connectors. I have no idea why their documentation is so unclear. To tell the truth, I had never looked closely at them until the question arose, as they have always worked well.
