The VW3M94CAN45R15 is a 15-meter CANopen connecting cable from Schneider Electric, purpose-built for the Lexium 32i servo drive series. It terminates in an M12 female connector on the drive side and an RJ45 male (A-coded, 5-way) on the bus side, straight orientation on both ends. This cordset connects the drive to the CANopen fieldbus. The 15 m length covers typical cabinet-to-machine distances.
The VW3M94CAN45R15 carries an active lifecycle status per Schneider Electric's current product portfolio. No end-of-life notification or last-time-buy window has been issued for this order code.
Connector detail
The RJ45 male connector uses A-coding with 5 ways, straight exit — standard for CANopen cabling. The M12 female connector mates directly to the Lexium 32i drive's CANopen port. Both ends are factory-terminated; no field wiring or crimping is required. Verify the drive-side M12 receptacle orientation before routing — the straight M12 female may conflict with tight cable ducts or adjacent connectors in a multi-axis cabinet layout.
