They make the Y-connectors. They also make
the retranslators that can increase the maximal
length of the cable dramatically (or at least
their web site says so - did not try it myself yet).
For the good and reasonably priced cables and
terminators I can recommend AESP (http://www.aesp.com ,
http://www.tla-group.com is the reseller I bought
from, had quite good experience).
Personally I think that Fibre Channel may be a
better choice for the clusters because of thinner
cables and longer maximal length. Though it's
more expensive.
