Why Choose the Partex PXA2-40L M40 A1/A2 Unarmoured Cable Gland?
The Partex PXA2-40L is a professional M40 A1/A2 unarmoured cable gland designed for the secure entry and mechanical retention of compatible unarmoured electrical cables. Accommodating cable outside diameters from 25.0–32.0 mm, this cable gland provides a practical solution for electrical enclosures, industrial control panels, junction boxes and machinery installations.
Featuring an M40 metric entry thread, the PXA2-40L is intended for installation into suitably sized enclosure entries. Its A1/A2 gland configuration is designed for unarmoured cables, providing a cable entry and retention arrangement without the armour termination components associated with armoured cable glands.
The Partex PXA2-40L is particularly suitable for electrical installations involving larger-diameter unarmoured cables. Its specified 25.0–32.0 mm cable accommodation range allows installers, panel builders and maintenance engineers to select the appropriate gland for compatible cables, supporting organised cable routing and professional electrical installation practices.

Secure Cable Entry for Larger Unarmoured Electrical Cables
Correctly selected cable glands play an important role in electrical installations by providing a suitable entry arrangement for cables passing into enclosures and equipment. The Partex PXA2-40L M40 cable gland is designed for unarmoured cables with outside diameters between 25.0 mm and 32.0 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring a larger cable accommodation range.
The M40 metric entry thread allows the gland to be installed in compatible enclosure openings, while its A1/A2 configuration provides a mechanical retention arrangement for the cable. This supports orderly cable routing into industrial control panels, electrical cabinets and machinery enclosures.
Unlike cable glands intended for steel wire armoured or other armoured cables, the PXA2-40L is specified for unarmoured cable applications. It should not be used as an armour termination or relied upon to provide electrical bonding of cable armour. Where armour termination is required, an appropriately specified armoured cable gland must be selected.
Before installation, the cable's actual outside diameter should be measured and checked against the 25.0–32.0 mm range. Installers should also verify the enclosure thread, gland material, environmental protection requirements and any necessary sealing or securing accessories. The completed installation must meet the applicable electrical and enclosure protection requirements.
Typical Applications
- Entry of larger unarmoured electrical cables into enclosures.
- Industrial control panel manufacturing and assembly.
- Electrical distribution cabinets and switchgear enclosures.
- Machinery wiring and OEM electrical equipment.
- Industrial automation and PLC cabinet installations.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Building services electrical systems.
- Electrical junction boxes and termination enclosures.
- Motor control equipment and associated cable entries.
- Industrial electrical maintenance and refurbishment.
- Replacement of compatible M40 unarmoured cable glands.
- Organised cable routing into industrial electrical equipment.
