The VW3E2097R200 is an incremental encoder cable from the PacDrive 3 range, purpose-built for the LMC Eco controller. It runs 20 m (65.6 ft) from an M23 connector on the encoder side to an RJ45 plug on the controller side — a fixed-length assembly that matches the cable run between a motor-mounted encoder and the drive cabinet. Production status is active, so this is a current catalog line, not a phase-out or NRND item. That means it is available through the standard Schneider distribution channel, and the RFQ path is straightforward — no last-time-buy urgency, no broker scavenger hunt.
Fit and deployment context
This cable is the OEM-specified link between the PacDrive LMC Eco controller and an incremental encoder on a servo motor. The 20 m length covers the typical distance from a cabinet-mounted controller to the motor on a conveyor or packaging machine axis. The RJ45 termination plugs directly into the controller's encoder port — no adapter, no field wiring. The M23 connector is a standard round industrial connector, common on encoder and resolver feedback cables in servo drive systems. It mates with the encoder's M23 receptacle; no special tools beyond a standard wrench for the coupling nut.
