Secure Indoor Termination for Armoured Electrical Cables
Correct termination of armoured cables is essential for maintaining mechanical security and appropriate protective earthing arrangements in electrical installations. The Partex PXBW-40S M40 BW cable gland provides an indoor cable termination solution for compatible armoured cables within the specified 30.4–38.5 mm diameter range.
The BW gland configuration is intended to clamp the cable armour securely at the equipment entry point. When correctly installed, this arrangement can form part of the electrical continuity and protective bonding system for the cable armour. Where an earth tag, locknut or other bonding accessory is required, the appropriate components must be selected and fitted in accordance with the installation design.
As a BW indoor gland, the PXBW-40S should not be assumed to provide the outer sheath sealing arrangement associated with glands designed for exposed outdoor or weatherproof applications. Where moisture protection or a specified ingress protection rating is required, the gland type and complete enclosure entry arrangement must be selected accordingly.
Before installation, confirm the cable construction, relevant cable dimensions, armour compatibility and M40 entry requirements. The correct gland should be selected using the manufacturer's dimensional guidance, and installation should follow the applicable electrical standards and manufacturer instructions.
