Why Choose the Partex PXBW-40L BW Indoor Armoured Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-40L is a robust BW indoor brass cable gland designed for the mechanical termination of armoured electrical cables in dry indoor installations. Featuring an M40 metric entry thread and accommodating cable outside diameters from 32.2–40.0 mm, this cable gland provides a practical solution for securing larger-diameter armoured cables entering electrical enclosures, distribution equipment and industrial control panels.
As part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, the PXBW-40L is intended for applications requiring secure armour clamping and dependable mechanical cable retention. Its brass construction provides strength and durability, while the BW gland design enables the armour of a compatible steel wire armoured (SWA) cable to be mechanically terminated at the enclosure entry.
With its M40 fixing thread, 40L gland size and 32.2–40.0 mm cable acceptance range, the PXBW-40L is suitable for larger armoured cable installations in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Designed for indoor use, it offers a practical cable termination solution for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers working with compatible armoured power cables.

Reliable Armoured Cable Termination for Indoor Electrical Systems
BW cable glands are used in electrical installations where armoured cables require secure mechanical termination at an enclosure or equipment entry. The Partex PXBW-40L is designed to clamp compatible cable armour, helping maintain mechanical retention and supporting the correct termination of larger armoured cables. Its brass construction makes it a practical choice for industrial electrical distribution and fixed equipment installations.
The PXBW-40L accommodates cable outside diameters from 32.2 mm to 40.0 mm and uses an M40 metric entry thread. Correct installation requires checking both the cable outside diameter and armour dimensions, preparing the cable in accordance with the gland manufacturer's instructions and ensuring suitable electrical continuity and protective earthing where required. As a BW indoor gland, it should not be substituted for a suitably sealed CW outdoor gland in wet or weather-exposed environments.
Typical Applications
- Indoor steel wire armoured cable terminations.
- Industrial low-voltage power distribution systems.
- Electrical switchgear and distribution board cable entries.
- Industrial control panels and automation enclosures.
- Commercial building electrical installations.
- Armoured power supplies for fixed industrial machinery.
- Indoor electrical junction boxes and termination cabinets.
- Factory electrical maintenance and equipment installation.
- Building services and infrastructure power distribution.
- Electrical panel building and industrial equipment assembly.
