Reliable Cable Entry for Unarmoured Electrical Installations
Selecting the correct cable gland is an important part of electrical enclosure design and installation. The Partex PXA2-20S is specified for unarmoured cables with an outside diameter between 8.0 mm and 11.5 mm, helping installers match the gland to the cable being used. Its M20 entry thread provides a defined interface for compatible enclosure openings, supporting consistent cable entry arrangements across electrical control and distribution equipment.
A correctly selected and installed cable gland can help maintain appropriate cable positioning and reduce unwanted movement at the enclosure entry. The PXA2-20S should be installed in accordance with the relevant Partex instructions, with attention to cable outside diameter, entry compatibility, required securing accessories and the environmental conditions of the installation. Where a particular ingress protection rating, earthing arrangement or installation certification is required, those characteristics should be confirmed against the applicable manufacturer documentation.
