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.
