French term or phrase: platine porte-connecteur
Describing a reactivity meter for measuring reactivity in a nuclear power plant.

Le réactimètre est équipé de platines porte-connecteurs différenciées entrées-sortie pour les différentes entrées et sorties.

Is there a special name for this or is it merely a connection terminal/board of some kind?

Explanation:
Acc. to Termium, one translation of ''platine'' is ''panel'':

Porte-connecteur = connector holder

The rear I/O connector holder panel has openings for two C-size, four D-size and six B-size inserts.

Found translation of ''porte-connecteur'' here:

Appareil selon la revendication 1, dans lequel au moins l'un des sous-ensembles (S) comporte un connecteur électrique (8) sur son extrémité avant (4), le connecteur (8) renfermant des bornes, les conducteurs (7) étant connectés aux bornes et s'étendant à partir de celles-ci, les conducteurs (7) sur le sous-ensemble (S) étant maintenu assemblé en un groupe par le connecteur (8), caractérisé en ce que les moyens de maintien de transporteurs sur le sous-ensemble (S) comprennent un porte-connecteur (76, 78).

Apparatus as set forth in claim 7, wherein each of the subassemblies (S) has an electrical connector (8) on its subassembly leading end (4), the connectors (8) having terminals therein, the conductors (7) being connected to, and extending from, the terminals, the conductors (7) of the individual subassemblies (S) being held together as individual groups by the connectors (8), characterized in that transporters (T) comprise connector holders (76, 78), and harness releasing means (174, 176) is provided for releasing all of the subassemblies (S) from their respective connector holders (76, 78) after assembly of the harness (2) has been completed.

connector rack


Explanation:
Any idea if this is one of several elements stacked vertically? (rack system).

Still, if you have a separate module for connectors, you still have to connect it to another rack, so it kind of defeats its purpose I would have thought!

agree  chris collister: "holder" is redundant, IMO: just "connector panel" would do.

connector board or terminal board


Explanation:
acc. type of connectors.

I would suppress "porte", but add "I/O" like:
porte-connecteurs différenciées entrées-sortie =>
dedicated I/O terminal board
