The VW3E1146R160 is officially obsolete per Schneider Electric's lifecycle status. This is the hybrid cable that connects a Lexium 62 ILM servo drive to the distribution box D2 in a PacDrive 3 system — 16 m shielded motor cable with an RJ45 D2 elbowed connector at one end. For a line running PacDrive 3 motion, this cable is the specific link between the drive module and the distribution box; the 16 m length suits longer panel-to-machine runs where the distribution box sits remote from the drive cluster.
The 16 m (52.5 ft) cable length is the full run from the Lexium 62 ILM connection module to the D2 distribution box — not a cut-to-length field cable. The RJ45 D2 connector is elbowed (right-angle exit), which matters when routing in a tight cabinet or along a cable tray where a straight plug would strain the termination. The shielded construction is standard for motor power cables carrying PWM drive signals; the shield keeps radiated emissions within the limits the PacDrive 3 system was certified to. The cable is part of the PacDrive 3 range, which means it mates with the specific D2 distribution box connector and the ILM drive's hybrid port. It is not a generic RJ45 patch cable — the pinout and conductor gauge are sized for the motor power and feedback signals combined in one jacket.
