Secure Cable Entry for Unarmoured Cables
Correct cable gland selection is an important part of professional electrical installation. The Partex PXA2-32S M32 cable gland is designed for unarmoured cables with outside diameters between 17.5 mm and 22.5 mm, providing a defined accommodation range for cable entry applications.
When installed into a suitable enclosure entry, the gland helps retain the cable and supports a controlled transition between external cable routing and internal electrical connections. This is particularly useful in industrial control panels and machinery installations where cables must be properly supported and routed into equipment.
The A1/A2 configuration is intended for unarmoured cable applications and should not be treated as an armour termination or earthing arrangement. Where metallic cable armour requires mechanical termination or electrical bonding, an appropriately specified armoured cable gland must be selected instead.
Before installation, confirm the cable's actual outside diameter, the enclosure entry thread, gland material requirements and any required sealing or environmental protection ratings. The completed installation's ingress protection depends on the gland's verified rating, suitable accessories and correct installation in the enclosure.
