Why Choose the Partex PXBW-63S M63 BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-63S is a robust M63 BW indoor cable gland designed for secure termination and mechanical retention of steel wire armoured (SWA) electrical cables in dry indoor environments. As part of the Partex PXBW indoor cable gland range, it provides a practical cable termination solution for industrial electrical installations, power distribution equipment, electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
Featuring a metric M63 threaded entry, the PXBW-63S is designed for armoured cables with an overall outside diameter of 50.0–59.0 mm. Its BW gland construction incorporates a mechanical armour clamping arrangement designed to secure the cable's steel wire armour and provide a conductive connection between the armour and the metallic gland body when correctly assembled.
The Partex PXBW-63S indoor armoured cable gland is particularly suitable for large SWA power cables installed within dry electrical rooms, industrial buildings and protected equipment enclosures. Its BW gland configuration is intended for indoor installations where a separate weatherproof outer sheath seal is not required. For installations exposed to moisture, dust or outdoor conditions, a suitably rated gland with appropriate environmental sealing should be selected.

Reliable SWA Cable Termination for Indoor Electrical Installations
Steel wire armoured cables are commonly used in industrial electrical installations where additional mechanical protection is required. Correct cable gland selection is essential for securely terminating the cable armour, maintaining electrical continuity and providing appropriate mechanical support at enclosure entry points. The Partex PXBW-63S M63 BW cable gland is designed to perform these functions in suitable dry indoor environments.
The 50.0–59.0 mm cable diameter range makes the PXBW-63S suitable for large SWA cables used in industrial power distribution and electrical equipment installations. During termination, the cable's steel wire armour is positioned within the gland's clamping arrangement, allowing the gland components to mechanically secure the armour when correctly tightened.
The metallic armour clamping arrangement can form part of the electrical continuity path between the cable armour and the gland body. Where protective earthing is required, installers must provide and verify a suitable earthing connection using the appropriate accessories and installation methods. Electrical continuity, fault-current capability and earthing arrangements should be assessed in accordance with the applicable wiring regulations.
Unlike a CW weatherproof cable gland, a conventional BW indoor gland does not incorporate a weatherproof compression seal around the cable's outer sheath. The PXBW-63S should therefore be selected for protected indoor applications where its environmental protection characteristics are appropriate. For outdoor installations or locations exposed to moisture, a suitably specified CW or alternative environmentally sealed gland should be used.
When selecting the PXBW-63S, installers should verify the cable's actual overall diameter, armour construction and compatibility with the gland's clamping arrangement. Appropriate cable support, gland mounting accessories and protective earthing provisions should also be considered to achieve a secure and dependable installation.
