The VW3L1R401 is a dedicated commissioning cable that bridges a PC's USB port to the RS485 communication interface on a Lexium integrated drive. Its 3.6 m length gives enough reach to keep the laptop clear of the cabinet during parameter setup — no need to stretch the cable or relocate the drive.
Lifecycle status is active, so this cable remains a standard order line for new builds and spares. No end-of-life notice or successor part has been issued — the VW3L1R401 is the current cable for any Lexium integrated drive that uses the 19-pin drive connector and RS485 bus.
One end is a standard USB-A for the PC; the other carries a 19-pin connector that mates directly to the integrated drive's commissioning port. The RS485 link handles the parameter upload/download and drive configuration — no separate programming box needed. It is a single-purpose cable, not a general-purpose RS485 adapter, so keep it with the drive's documentation kit.
