Why Choose the Partex PXA2-32S M32 A1/A2 Unarmoured Cable Gland?
The Partex PXA2-32S is an M32 A1/A2 unarmoured cable gland designed for the secure entry and retention of compatible unarmoured electrical cables in enclosures, junction boxes, control panels and industrial electrical equipment. Suitable for cables with an outside diameter of 17.5–22.5 mm, this cable gland provides a practical solution for professional electrical installation and cable management.
Featuring a metric M32 entry thread, the PXA2-32S is intended for installation into appropriately sized threaded entries or suitable clearance holes with the required securing accessories. Its A1/A2 gland configuration is intended for unarmoured cables, helping provide mechanical cable retention and supporting the integrity of the cable entry when correctly selected and installed.
The Partex PXA2-32S is particularly useful for industrial control panels, electrical distribution equipment, machinery wiring and building services installations where reliable cable entry arrangements are required. Its defined cable diameter range makes it straightforward for installers and panel builders to select the correct gland for compatible cables.

Secure Cable Entry for Unarmoured Cables
Correct cable gland selection is an important part of professional electrical installation. The Partex PXA2-32S M32 cable gland is designed for unarmoured cables with outside diameters between 17.5 mm and 22.5 mm, providing a defined accommodation range for cable entry applications.
When installed into a suitable enclosure entry, the gland helps retain the cable and supports a controlled transition between external cable routing and internal electrical connections. This is particularly useful in industrial control panels and machinery installations where cables must be properly supported and routed into equipment.
The A1/A2 configuration is intended for unarmoured cable applications and should not be treated as an armour termination or earthing arrangement. Where metallic cable armour requires mechanical termination or electrical bonding, an appropriately specified armoured cable gland must be selected instead.
Before installation, confirm the cable's actual outside diameter, the enclosure entry thread, gland material requirements and any required sealing or environmental protection ratings. The completed installation's ingress protection depends on the gland's verified rating, suitable accessories and correct installation in the enclosure.
Typical Applications
- Unarmoured electrical cable entry into enclosures.
- Industrial control panel manufacturing.
- Electrical distribution boards and cabinets.
- Machinery wiring and OEM equipment.
- Industrial automation and PLC enclosures.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Building services electrical systems.
- Electrical junction boxes and termination enclosures.
- Motor control equipment and associated wiring.
- Electrical maintenance and refurbishment projects.
- Replacement of compatible M32 unarmoured cable glands.
- Organised cable entry arrangements for industrial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXA2-32S?
The Partex PXA2-32S is an M32 A1/A2 unarmoured cable gland designed for compatible electrical cables with an outside diameter of 17.5–22.5 mm.
What cable diameter range does the PXA2-32S accommodate?
The PXA2-32S is specified for unarmoured cables with an outside diameter between 17.5 mm and 22.5 mm.
What thread size does the Partex PXA2-32S use?
The PXA2-32S features an M32 metric entry thread for compatible electrical enclosure entries.
Is the PXA2-32S suitable for armoured cables?
The PXA2-32S is specified as an A1/A2 unarmoured cable gland. It is not intended to provide mechanical termination or electrical bonding of cable armour. An appropriate armoured cable gland should be used where armour termination is required.
What does A1/A2 mean for this cable gland?
A1/A2 identifies the gland configuration intended for compatible unarmoured cable applications. The gland provides a cable entry and retention arrangement rather than an armour termination system.
Can the PXA2-32S be installed in a control panel?
Yes. The PXA2-32S can be used for compatible unarmoured cable entries in electrical control panels, provided the enclosure has a suitable M32 entry and the installation requirements are met.
Does the PXA2-32S fit every cable with an M32 entry?
No. In addition to the M32 thread size, the cable's outside diameter must fall within the specified 17.5–22.5 mm accommodation range, and the gland must meet the application's other technical requirements.
What is the IP rating of the Partex PXA2-32S?
An exact ingress protection rating is not established by the supplied product specification. The manufacturer's technical documentation should be checked to confirm the applicable IP rating and any required sealing accessories.
Does the PXA2-32S include a locknut or sealing washer?
The supplied product description does not confirm which installation accessories are included. Locknuts, sealing washers and other required components should be checked against the manufacturer's packaging specification.
Where is the Partex PXA2-32S typically used?
Typical applications include industrial control panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, machinery wiring, automation equipment and building services installations requiring compatible unarmoured cable entry.
