Why Choose the Partex PXBW-25L M25 BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-25L is a robust and practical M25 BW indoor armoured cable gland designed to provide secure mechanical termination of steel wire armoured (SWA) cables in indoor electrical installations. As part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, it provides a reliable solution for securing cable armour at electrical enclosures, distribution equipment and industrial control systems.
Designed for armoured cables with an overall outside diameter of 20.0–27.2 mm, the PXBW-25L features an M25 metric entry thread for installation into compatible electrical enclosures and equipment. Its BW gland construction incorporates an armour clamping arrangement that provides mechanical retention of the cable armour and supports electrical continuity when correctly installed with suitable earthing accessories.
The Partex PXBW-25L is particularly suitable for indoor SWA cable termination in industrial electrical installations, motor control centres, distribution boards and machinery wiring. Its traditional BW gland design provides a practical cable termination solution for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers working with larger armoured cable systems.

Reliable Armoured Cable Termination for Indoor Electrical Systems
Steel wire armoured cables are widely used in electrical distribution and industrial installations where additional mechanical protection is required. Correct termination of the cable armour is essential for maintaining secure cable retention and providing an appropriate electrical earthing arrangement. BW cable glands are specifically designed for indoor applications where a mechanical armour termination is required without the additional outer sheath sealing arrangement associated with weatherproof cable glands.
The Partex PXBW-25L is designed for indoor SWA cable installations with an overall cable diameter of 20.0–27.2 mm. Its BW gland configuration provides a mechanical clamping arrangement for the steel wire armour, helping secure the cable at the entry point of electrical enclosures and equipment. The M25 metric thread allows the gland to be installed into compatible enclosure openings using appropriate retaining accessories where necessary.
Unlike weatherproof CW-type armoured cable glands, traditional BW indoor glands do not provide an integrated outer sheath environmental seal. The PXBW-25L is therefore intended for suitable dry indoor installations where additional weatherproof cable entry protection is not required. Where environmental sealing is necessary, an appropriately rated cable gland should be selected.
When installed with compatible earthing tags, locknuts and other required accessories, the PXBW-25L supports professional armoured cable termination in electrical distribution boards, industrial control panels and machinery installations. The cable's armour dimensions, enclosure compatibility and earthing requirements should be checked to ensure a secure and electrically compliant installation.
Typical Applications
- Indoor steel wire armoured cable installations.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
- Industrial electrical control panels and automation cabinets.
- Motor control centres and electrical motor supply circuits.
- Indoor electrical junction boxes and terminal enclosures.
- Industrial machinery and fixed equipment power connections.
- Commercial building electrical distribution systems.
- Electrical installation, servicing and maintenance.
