The OP8217 is a 32 or 64 signal interface panel with 2mm diameter mini-banana plugs. The back-side connector is a DB44 connector which allows interconnection with OPAL-RT SLSC boards and products. It does not apply any conditioning to the signals.
The two DB44 connectors in the back of the panel map to two signal groups, Group-1 or Group-2.

Please note that if the Vuser connections are protected with a resettable fuse. The specifications for this fuse are: trip current = 3.0A, hold current = 1.5A.
For more information about the use of Vuser and Vrtn pleaser refer to this article in the OPAL-RT knowledge base : How to power the different DB37 boards for digital outputs.
Additional Information
The OP8217 has a very high density of IO signals. Due to this high-density, the sockets on the OP8217 accept standard miniature banana plugs with a 2mm diameter. Sheathed miniature banana plugs or miniature banana plugs with a pin diameter greater than 2mm will not fit inside the OP8217 sockets.
Example of a 2mm miniature banana plug patch cord is provided below:
