Why Choose the Partex PXBW-75L M75 BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-75L is a robust M75 BW indoor armoured cable gland designed for secure termination and mechanical retention of large-diameter steel wire armoured (SWA) electrical cables in dry indoor environments. As part of the Partex PXBW indoor cable gland range, it provides a practical cable termination solution for industrial electrical installations, power distribution equipment, switchgear assemblies and electrical control panels.
Featuring a metric M75 threaded entry, the PXBW-75L is designed to accommodate armoured electrical cables with an overall outside diameter of 68.0–78.0 mm. Its BW gland construction incorporates a mechanical armour clamping arrangement that securely grips the cable's steel wire armour, providing mechanical retention and supporting electrical continuity between the armour and metallic gland body when correctly assembled.
The Partex PXBW-75L indoor cable gland is particularly suitable for large SWA power cables installed within protected electrical rooms, industrial buildings and indoor distribution equipment. Its BW gland configuration is intended for dry indoor installations where an integral weatherproof outer sheath seal is not required. The large cable accommodation range makes it a practical choice for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders and maintenance engineers working with substantial armoured power cables.

Reliable SWA Cable Termination for Industrial Power Installations
Steel wire armoured cables are widely used in industrial electrical installations where additional mechanical protection is required. Correct cable gland selection is essential for securely terminating the cable armour, maintaining electrical continuity and providing appropriate mechanical support at enclosure entry points. The Partex PXBW-75L M75 BW indoor cable gland is designed to perform these functions in suitable dry indoor environments.
The 68.0–78.0 mm cable diameter range makes the PXBW-75L suitable for large SWA power cables used in industrial power distribution, electrical switchgear and heavy-duty electrical equipment installations. During termination, the cable's steel wire armour is positioned within the gland's clamping arrangement, allowing the gland components to mechanically secure the armour when correctly assembled.
The metallic armour clamping arrangement supports electrical continuity between the cable armour and gland body. Where the cable armour forms part of a protective earthing system, installers must provide and verify a suitable earth connection using appropriate accessories and installation methods. The continuity, fault-current capability and suitability of the earthing arrangement must be assessed in accordance with applicable electrical installation regulations.
Unlike a CW weatherproof cable gland, a conventional BW indoor gland does not incorporate an integral weatherproof compression seal around the cable's outer sheath. The PXBW-75L should therefore be selected for protected indoor applications where its environmental protection characteristics are appropriate. Outdoor installations or locations exposed to moisture require a suitably specified gland with appropriate environmental sealing.
For larger armoured cables, correct mechanical support is particularly important because cable weight and bending forces can place additional stress on termination points. Installers should verify the cable's actual outside diameter, armour construction and compatibility with the gland's clamping arrangement, while ensuring that suitable cable supports and mounting accessories are provided.
Typical Applications
- Indoor steel wire armoured cable terminations.
- Industrial power distribution boards and electrical cabinets.
- Large SWA power cable entry into electrical enclosures.
- Motor control centres and electrical switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial control panels and power distribution equipment.
- Electrical substations and protected indoor switchrooms.
- Electrical plant rooms and industrial equipment installations.
- Commercial and industrial electrical infrastructure.
- Heavy industrial machinery and manufacturing facilities.
- Electrical maintenance, replacement and retrofit projects.
