Network-to-network cabling
Cabling between NT8D35 Network Modules interconnects the two
half-groups to build a full-network group. The first full-group is located in the
Core/Network module together with the CPU. The maximum length of the
interconnecting cables between the two modules is 0.6 m (2 ft). The two
half-group network modules must therefore be stacked on top of one another.
The cables are then routed from the backplane of one module to the backplane
of the other through the vertical holes in the rear horizontal cable trough of
the modules.
