Part identity and PacDrive 3 placement
The FCE320200A100 is listed as a hybrid encoder cable for the PacDrive 3 range, intended to carry the feedback signal between the stainless-format servo and the drive on a packaging or machine-tool axis. One end terminates S615 straight and the other end RJ45 straight, so the cable drops into a specific feedback port on the LXM62 servo family and is not a general-purpose Ethernet patch.
Reach, shielding, and the loop it has to close
At 20 m the cable sets the maximum physical separation between the PacDrive 3 controller and the axis it reads back from, which matters when the cabinet sits further from the driven mechanism than the default harness allows. Shielded construction is what keeps the encoder pulses clean in a panel that also hosts a drive switching at several kHz — unshielded feedback in this environment picks up common-mode noise that the resolver-to-digital conversion cannot reject downstream.
Lifecycle status and the procurement window
A rebuild on a machine already wired for this cable is the typical reason buyers chase the code now — the harness was specified at build time and a re-spin to a different connector family would mean re-terminating both ends and re-validating the feedback loop.
