It's not "long cage" but there are two mounting points for the pulley cage. One is for freewheels up to 24T cogs,and the other is for up to 28T cogs. In the picture above, the pulley cage is mounted in the 24T cog position.

BTW, there is a less expensive version of the same derailleur called the "Challenger." The only difference is that the sheet metal pieces on the parallelogram are aluminum rather than titanium.
