I am trying to find out if I have a long cage or a medium cage. I cannot find anything that specs the size measurements though. It is about 9.8mm between jockey wheels center to center. It is used on a 10 speed 11-36 cassette. Thanks for your help!

    That kind of depends if it was OE or not.

    Suggests its long cage (on older versions that is called super long as they had short, long and super long).
