Why Choose the Partex PXA2-63L M63 A1/A2 Unarmoured Cable Gland?
The Partex PXA2-63L is a robust M63 A1/A2 unarmoured cable gland designed to provide secure cable entry, mechanical retention and environmental sealing for large-diameter unarmoured electrical cables. As part of the Partex PXA2 cable gland range, it offers a practical cable termination solution for industrial electrical installations, power distribution equipment, control panels and electrical enclosures where dependable cable management is essential.
Featuring a metric M63 threaded entry, the PXA2-63L is designed to accommodate unarmoured cables with an outside diameter of 49.5–55.0 mm. Its compression-type sealing arrangement grips the cable's outer sheath, helping maintain a secure cable entry and providing protection against the ingress of dust and moisture when correctly installed with suitable sealing accessories.
The PXA2-63L large cable gland is particularly suitable for industrial installations involving substantial power and control cables. Its A1/A2 gland configuration is intended for unarmoured cable applications, providing a straightforward method of securing cables as they pass through electrical equipment housings, gland plates and junction boxes. The M63 entry size and extended cable accommodation range make it a practical choice for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders and maintenance engineers.

Reliable Cable Entry and Protection for Industrial Power Installations
Cable glands are essential components in electrical installations, providing a secure and controlled entry point for cables passing into electrical enclosures, distribution equipment and industrial machinery. The Partex PXA2-63L M63 unarmoured cable gland is designed to support the installation of larger electrical cables by providing mechanical retention and compression sealing around the outer cable sheath.
The 49.5–55.0 mm cable diameter range makes the PXA2-63L suitable for large unarmoured power and control cables with compatible external dimensions. Correct cable gland selection is particularly important for larger cables, where cable weight, routing and mechanical movement can place additional demands on the enclosure entry. Installers should verify the actual cable outside diameter and provide appropriate cable support where required.
The A1/A2 unarmoured gland design provides cable entry and sheath sealing without the armour clamping arrangement associated with glands intended for steel wire armoured cables. Where protective earthing is required, an appropriate protective conductor and earthing arrangement must be provided independently of the unarmoured cable gland.
For dependable performance, the PXA2-63L should be installed into a compatible M63 threaded entry or cable gland plate using the appropriate fixing and sealing components. The final environmental protection of the assembly depends on the gland configuration, cable sheath, enclosure construction and installation method. Correct installation helps maintain cable security and supports reliable long-term operation of electrical equipment.
