Why Choose the Partex PXCW-50L CW Outdoor Armoured Cable Gland?
The Partex PXCW-50L is a robust CW outdoor brass armoured cable gland designed for secure termination of steel wire armoured (SWA) cables in industrial, commercial and outdoor electrical installations. As part of the Partex CW outdoor cable gland range, it provides a practical cable entry solution for applications requiring mechanical cable retention, armour clamping and protection against environmental exposure.
The CW gland design incorporates an outer cable sheath sealing arrangement and a mechanical armour clamping mechanism. These features help maintain a secure cable termination while supporting electrical continuity through the cable armour. Its durable brass construction makes it suitable for demanding electrical installations where reliable cable connections and long-term mechanical performance are essential.
Featuring an M50 metric fixing thread and accommodating cables with an outside diameter of 44.0–52.6 mm, the PXCW-50L is designed for larger armoured power cables entering electrical distribution equipment, industrial enclosures and control systems. Its outdoor gland configuration supports professional cable termination in installations exposed to dust, moisture and changing environmental conditions.

Reliable Outdoor Cable Termination and Armour Protection
Armoured power cables require suitable gland assemblies to provide mechanical retention, protect the cable entry and establish the necessary electrical connection to the cable armour. The Partex PXCW-50L CW outdoor cable gland is designed to meet these installation needs through a robust brass construction, an outer sheath sealing arrangement and a dedicated armour clamping mechanism.
During installation, the cable armour is secured within the gland assembly while the outer sheath seal helps protect the enclosure entry against environmental exposure. Correct gland selection is essential, particularly for larger armoured cables, because both the outside cable diameter and armour dimensions must be compatible with the gland. Where protective earthing or bonding is required, the armour connection must be incorporated into the installation's protective conductor system using suitable accessories and methods.
The M50 fixing size and 44.0–52.6 mm cable diameter range make the PXCW-50L suitable for larger SWA cable installations commonly encountered in industrial power distribution, outdoor electrical infrastructure and heavy-duty electrical equipment. Correct assembly and enclosure sealing are important for achieving the intended environmental protection of the completed installation.
