Reliable Weatherproof Armoured Cable Termination for Industrial Electrical Systems
Steel wire armoured cables are widely used in industrial electrical installations where mechanical protection and secure cable termination are required. Outdoor cable entries must also protect electrical equipment against moisture and environmental exposure. CW cable glands are designed to provide both mechanical armour termination and sealing around the cable outer sheath, making them suitable for applications where a traditional indoor BW gland would not provide the necessary environmental protection.
The Partex PXCW-20S is designed for SWA cables with an overall outside diameter of 11.8–15.8 mm. Its armour clamping arrangement helps secure the steel wire armour, while the outer sheath compression seal provides a protective interface between the cable and gland body. This combination makes the PXCW-20S a practical choice for outdoor electrical distribution, industrial control equipment and external cable termination.
The gland's M20 metric thread allows installation into compatible enclosure openings, with suitable locknuts, sealing washers and earthing accessories used where required. Correct cable preparation, armour clamping and compression seal tightening are important for achieving a secure installation. The final environmental protection rating depends on the complete gland and enclosure assembly, including the cable, entry interface and installation method.
When installed with appropriate earthing arrangements, the PXCW-20S supports electrical continuity of the cable armour and reliable cable retention. Its CW construction makes it particularly useful for electrical contractors, industrial automation engineers and maintenance professionals working with exposed or weather-sensitive cable entry points.
