That means that the conductor even if it had a higher temperature rating than the connector it would have to have it's amperage calculated at the lower temperature rating of the connector.

Not exactly:

not to exceed the lowest temperature rating of any connected termination, conductor or device, and more...

What is this section refering to?

Basically what this is saying is:
If there is a terminal or lug rated for a temperature lower than the temperature rating of the conductor, the temperature rating of the termination determines the final ampacity of the conductor.
It also states the higher temperature rating of the conductor, which generally relates to a higher ampacity rating of the conductor, can be used for ampacity adjustment and/or temperature correction.

OK, if I have this right,

110.14(C)(1) deals with the "equipment termination" limitations.

110.14(C)(2) deals with "pressure connector" limitations.

110.14(C) requires us to not exceed the lowest rating of the termination, pressure connector, or conductor after any derating requirements (if any).

Thanks!
