I've tried SRAM's web site but there is no documentation that show a blown-up picture of a cassette.
If the spacer is 1 mm wide, it is for mounting a 10 speed cassette on a freehub body that also accepts 8 and 9 speed cassettes. It goes first, closest to the spokes, before the cassette is added. This is what I guess that spacer is.
If the spacer is 1.8 mm wide, it is for placing a 8 and 9 speed cassettes on an 11 speed freehub. If a 10 speed cassette is used, the before mentioned 1 mm spacer needs to be added too.
