Reliable Outdoor Cable Termination and Armour Protection
Outdoor electrical installations require cable entry systems capable of maintaining mechanical security and protecting electrical equipment against environmental exposure. The Partex PXCW-40S CW outdoor cable gland is designed to terminate suitable steel wire armoured cables while providing an outer sheath seal and an armour clamping arrangement. When correctly selected and installed, this helps protect the cable entry against dust and water ingress while maintaining a secure mechanical connection.
The brass gland construction provides a robust termination solution for industrial applications. Its armour clamping arrangement enables the cable armour to be mechanically secured and electrically bonded, while the supplied earth tag facilitates connection to the installation's protective earthing system. Correct armour bonding and earthing must be carried out in accordance with the applicable electrical installation requirements.
With an IP66-rated design and a complete set of installation accessories, the PXCW-40S is particularly useful for outdoor distribution boards, industrial machinery and electrical enclosures. The included PVC shroud provides an additional protective covering over the gland assembly, helping deliver a neat and professional cable termination.
Typical Applications
- Outdoor electrical distribution boards and power distribution equipment.
- Steel wire armoured cable termination in industrial installations.
- Electrical control panels and automation enclosures.
- Industrial machinery and manufacturing equipment.
