Reliable IP66 Cable Termination for Outdoor Electrical Installations
Outdoor electrical installations require cable glands that provide both mechanical security and effective environmental sealing. The Partex PXCW-25S is designed to secure steel wire armoured cables through a mechanical armour clamping arrangement while sealing around the cable outer sheath. This helps maintain cable positioning and supports the integrity of electrical enclosure entry points in environments exposed to dust, rain and water spray.
The Partex CW range is particularly suitable for electrical contractors, industrial engineers and panel builders working with outdoor power distribution equipment, machinery and electrical enclosures. Unlike conventional BW indoor glands, CW outdoor glands incorporate an outer sheath sealing arrangement for improved environmental protection. To achieve the specified IP66 rating, installers should confirm the cable diameter, prepare the armour correctly, tighten the gland in accordance with installation guidance and ensure the enclosure entry is suitably sealed.
Typical Applications
- Outdoor electrical distribution boards and switchgear.
- Steel wire armoured cable termination in external electrical enclosures.
- Industrial machinery and outdoor electrical equipment.
- Commercial and industrial power distribution installations.
- External motor control equipment and industrial control panels.
- Manufacturing facilities and plant electrical installations.
- Electrical junction boxes and cable termination enclosures.
- Maintenance and replacement of outdoor SWA cable gland assemblies.
