Why Choose the Partex PXCW-32S CW Outdoor Armoured Cable Gland?
The Partex PXCW-32S is a robust CW outdoor armoured cable gland designed to provide secure mechanical termination and environmental sealing for compatible armoured electrical cables. Featuring an M32 metric entry thread and accommodating cable outside diameters from 24.5–31.0 mm, this gland is suitable for outdoor electrical enclosures, industrial power distribution equipment and electrical installations exposed to moisture and changing weather conditions.
As part of the Partex CW outdoor cable gland range, the PXCW-32S combines a mechanical armour clamping arrangement with an outer cable sealing system. Its durable brass construction provides mechanical strength, while the compression sealing arrangement helps prevent moisture and dust entering electrical equipment. The CW gland design is particularly suitable for steel wire armoured (SWA) cable installations requiring secure cable retention and environmental protection.
With an M32 fixing thread, 32S gland size and cable acceptance range of 24.5–31.0 mm, the PXCW-32S provides a practical cable entry solution for outdoor junction boxes, switchgear, distribution panels and industrial machinery. Its weather-resistant design makes it a useful choice for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance professionals working with armoured power cables.

Reliable Cable Sealing and Armour Termination for Outdoor Electrical Installations
Outdoor electrical installations require cable entry components capable of providing secure mechanical retention while helping protect electrical equipment against environmental exposure. The Partex PXCW-32S CW brass cable gland combines an armour clamping arrangement with compression sealing around the cable outer sheath. This arrangement helps maintain the integrity of the cable entry while providing a dependable termination for compatible armoured cables.
The PXCW-32S accommodates cable outside diameters between 24.5 mm and 31.0 mm and features an M32 metric entry thread. Correct installation requires verification of the cable outside diameter and armour dimensions, suitable preparation of the cable, proper tightening of the gland components and an appropriate protective earthing arrangement. The completed installation must also maintain the required ingress protection of the electrical enclosure.
Typical Applications
- Outdoor steel wire armoured cable terminations.
- Industrial electrical distribution boards and switchgear.
- Outdoor electrical junction boxes and termination enclosures.
- Armoured power cable entries into industrial machinery.
- Commercial and industrial building electrical installations.
- External lighting and power distribution equipment.
- Industrial automation and control panel cable entries.
- Water treatment and infrastructure electrical installations.
- Factory electrical maintenance and equipment installation.
- Outdoor electrical cabinets and fixed equipment enclosures.
