As an extension - it might be nice to have the option to hide data cable connections. Show them for initial setup, and then hide them during normal operation to represent backplane connections.

Or the skeuomorphic solution: a toggleable view that actually shows the back of the system, where the data connections are made. Modules that don’t register a backplane get a blank default with identifying text, but modules with expander/data connections (whatever form they take) get to place expander/data ports and also get SVG real estate for whatever they want.
I’m very tired and honestly not sure whether I’m joking or not.
