The VW3M94CAN45R03 is a CANopen connecting cable from Schneider Electric, purpose-built for the Lexium 32i servo drive family. It bridges the drive's CANopen bus port to the network via a 3 m (9.8 ft) assembly — one end M12 female (A-coded, 5-pin, straight), the other RJ45 male. If you're wiring a Lexium 32i into a CANopen daisy chain, this is the factory-specified drop cable.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence concern
Listed as Active by the manufacturer. For the MRO planner, this means the part stays on the standard replenishment cycle — no need to stockpile or hunt for a replacement.
Connector detail that matters on the line
The M12 female end is A-coded, 5-way, straight — mates to the standard CANopen M12 bus-in connector on the Lexium 32i. The RJ45 male plugs into a CANopen master or repeater. Cable length is 3 m (9.8 ft), which is enough to reach from a drive mounted mid-panel to a nearby junction box or backbone tap. No special termination resistor built in; that stays on the drive's bus-in connector.
