Some folks have mentioned 'backplane' etc. There is no such thing as 'backplane' connectivity. One solution for a FICON CTC within a SINGLE CEC/CPC is to use a 'jumper cable' between 2 FICON ports - either on the same FICON card or 2 different ones. More about using and spec of the jumper cable in Planning Fiber Links manual - GA23-1409.
