What this cable does in the drive architecture
The VW3A83BMR100 is a 10 m RJ45 module link cable for the Altivar Process Modular drive family. Its single purpose per the device application is to connect the power module to the control unit in a single-drive architecture — no daisy-chain, no fieldbus extension, just the backplane link between the two halves of the drive.
Length and connector — what they mean for panel layout
At 10 m, this cable gives enough reach to separate the power module and control unit across a cabinet or mount them in adjacent enclosures. The RJ45 termination is standard shielded Ethernet-style, so the connection is mechanically positive and the crimp is field-serviceable with common tools. One cable per drive — the number of cables is 1, so no Y-splitters or intermediate patch panels are part of this assembly.
The lifecycle stage is mature, and the product status is Active. Schneider continues to manufacture and support this cable.
