Why Choose the Partex PXCW-32L CW Outdoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXCW-32L is a professional CW outdoor brass armoured cable gland kit designed for secure termination and environmental sealing of steel wire armoured (SWA) electrical cables. Featuring an M32 metric entry thread, a 10 mm thread length and a specified cable diameter range of 26.3–33.5 mm, this gland provides a dependable solution for industrial electrical installations, outdoor power distribution equipment and commercial electrical systems.
Part of the Partex CW outdoor cable gland range, the PXCW-32L combines mechanical armour clamping with sealing around the cable outer sheath. This arrangement helps secure the cable at the enclosure entry point, supports electrical continuity through correctly terminated armour and provides protection against dust and water ingress. The gland range is specified to IP66 for outdoor use when correctly installed with suitable enclosure sealing arrangements.
Supplied as a complete cable gland kit, the PXCW-32L includes one brass CW gland, a brass locknut, a PVC protective shroud and an earth tag with screw. Its robust construction and practical accessory package make it suitable for electrical contractors, industrial panel builders and maintenance engineers working with medium-to-large SWA cables.

Reliable IP66 Cable Termination for Outdoor Electrical Installations
Outdoor electrical installations require cable glands that provide both mechanical security and environmental sealing. The Partex PXCW-32L is designed to clamp the armour of steel wire armoured cables securely while sealing around the cable outer sheath. This helps maintain cable positioning, supports appropriate protective bonding and contributes to the environmental integrity of the enclosure entry point in applications exposed to dust, rain and water spray.
The Partex CW range is particularly suitable for electrical contractors, industrial engineers and panel builders installing SWA cables into outdoor electrical equipment. Unlike conventional BW indoor glands, CW outdoor glands incorporate outer sheath sealing for improved environmental protection. To achieve the specified IP66 rating, installers should verify that the cable diameter falls within the 26.3–33.5 mm range, prepare the armour correctly, tighten the gland according to the installation instructions and ensure that 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 plants and outdoor plant electrical installations.
- Electrical junction boxes and weather-exposed cable termination enclosures.
- Maintenance and replacement of outdoor SWA cable gland assemblies.
