The VW3E3064R030 is a SERCOS III daisy chain cable from the PacDrive 3 range, used to link Lexium 62 ILM integrated drives in a ring topology. It terminates in two M12 quick-connect connectors with an elbowed (angled) shape, which helps route the cable tightly between drives in a crowded cabinet — the 90° exit keeps the bend radius within the drive's connector clearance. Cable length is 3 m (9.8 ft), enough for adjacent or near-adjacent drives on a common backplate.
Schneider Electric has marked the VW3E3064R030 as obsolete. If you are designing a new line, the PacDrive 3 platform itself is mature; verify that the drive-side M12 SERCOS port on your Lexium 62 ILM units matches the connector keying and pinout of this cable before ordering a surplus lot.
The two M12 quick-connect connectors are both elbowed — that is the deciding fit factor. A straight M12 plug may clash with the drive's adjacent power connector or the cabinet door clearance; the 90° elbow on both ends of this cable keeps the cable path parallel to the mounting plate. The 3 m length is a standard inter-drive span for a multi-axis section; if your drives are farther apart than 3 m, this cable will not reach, and you need a longer SERCOS patch cable or a different routing strategy. The cable is a passive copper SERCOS III link — no active electronics, no IP rating beyond what the M12 connectors provide when mated (typically IP67 at the drive port).
