Why Choose the Partex PXBW-63L BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-63L is a professional BW indoor brass armoured cable gland kit designed for the secure termination of steel wire armoured (SWA) electrical cables in dry indoor environments. Featuring an M63 metric entry thread, a 15 mm thread length and a specified cable diameter range of 56.0–65.3 mm, this heavy-duty gland is suitable for industrial electrical installations, power distribution equipment and large cable termination applications.
Part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, the PXBW-63L uses a mechanical armour clamping arrangement to secure the cable armour at the termination point. Its durable brass construction provides strength and reliability, while the gland supports effective armour continuity when correctly installed with the appropriate protective bonding arrangements.
Supplied as a complete cable gland kit, the PXBW-63L includes one brass BW gland, a brass locknut, a PVC protective shroud and an earth tag with screw. The gland is specified to IP3X for indoor use and is associated with IEC/EN 62444:2010 and BS 6121 Part 1:1989, making it a practical choice for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders and maintenance engineers working with large SWA cables.

Reliable Indoor Termination for Large Steel Wire Armoured Cables
Correct termination of steel wire armoured cables is essential for maintaining mechanical security and supporting protective bonding in industrial electrical installations. The Partex PXBW-63L is designed to clamp the cable armour securely at the termination point, providing a robust connection between the cable and electrical equipment. The included earth tag and screw support suitable bonding arrangements, while the brass locknut helps secure the gland within the enclosure entry.
The Partex BW range is designed for dry indoor environments, including electrical switchrooms, industrial control cabinets and power distribution equipment. Unlike CW outdoor glands, BW glands do not provide the same external weatherproof sealing arrangement around the cable sheath. For applications exposed to water, rain or demanding environmental conditions, an appropriately rated outdoor gland should be selected. Always confirm the cable diameter, armour construction, gland compatibility and protective bonding requirements before installation.
Typical Applications
- Indoor electrical switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
- Large steel wire armoured cable termination in electrical switchrooms.
- Industrial control panels and power management cabinets.
- Commercial and industrial building electrical distribution systems.
- Motor control centres and industrial power equipment.
- Manufacturing plants and heavy-duty machinery installations.
- Electrical junction boxes and large cable termination enclosures.
- Maintenance and replacement of indoor SWA cable gland assemblies.
