Why Choose the Partex PXBW-20L BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-20L is a BW indoor cable gland designed for the secure termination and mechanical retention of steel wire armoured (SWA) electrical cables in dry indoor environments. Featuring an M20 metric entry thread and a specified 14.0–20.8 mm cable diameter range, this gland provides a practical cable termination solution for industrial electrical installations, distribution equipment and control panels.
As part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, the PXBW-20L is designed to grip the cable armour, providing mechanical support and facilitating electrical continuity between the metallic armour and the associated earthing arrangement when correctly installed. BW glands are commonly selected for indoor armoured cable terminations where a weatherproof outer sheath seal is not required.
With its M20 threaded entry and compatibility with cables measuring 14.0–20.8 mm in outside diameter, the Partex PXBW-20L is suitable for electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers and panel builders working with armoured cable installations. Its BW gland construction enables straightforward termination of suitable SWA cables within dry electrical enclosures and equipment housings.

Reliable Indoor Termination for Armoured Electrical Cables
BW cable glands are commonly used to terminate steel wire armoured electrical cables in dry indoor locations. Their primary function is to grip and secure the metallic cable armour, providing mechanical retention at the equipment entry point and enabling the armour to form part of a correctly designed protective earthing arrangement.
The Partex PXBW-20L provides an M20 entry connection for compatible electrical enclosures and equipment. When selecting the gland, installers should verify the cable's overall diameter, armour dimensions and compatibility with the gland's clamping arrangement. Suitable earthing accessories and installation methods should be used in accordance with applicable electrical installation requirements.
Unlike CW-type outdoor cable glands, BW glands do not normally incorporate an outer cable sheath seal for weatherproof protection. The PXBW-20L should therefore be selected for appropriate indoor applications, or used only within a separately protected installation where the required environmental protection is maintained.
Typical Applications
- Indoor steel wire armoured cable terminations.
- Electrical distribution boards and switchgear enclosures.
- Industrial motor control panels and automation cabinets.
- Commercial building electrical installations.
- Indoor power distribution and cable management systems.
- Electrical junction boxes and equipment housings in dry environments.
- Industrial electrical maintenance and installation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXBW-20L cable gland used for?
The Partex PXBW-20L is used to terminate and mechanically secure suitable steel wire armoured electrical cables entering distribution boards, electrical enclosures and industrial equipment in dry indoor environments.
What cable diameter does the PXBW-20L support?
The gland has a specified cable diameter range of 14.0–20.8 mm. Installers should also confirm that the cable armour dimensions are compatible with the gland's clamping arrangement.
What thread size does the Partex PXBW-20L have?
The PXBW-20L features an M20 metric entry thread designed for installation into a compatible electrical enclosure entry.
Is the Partex PXBW-20L suitable for outdoor use?
The PXBW-20L is a BW indoor cable gland intended for dry environments. It does not provide the integral outer sheath weatherproof sealing normally associated with CW outdoor glands, so it should not be relied upon as a weatherproof cable entry.
Does the PXBW-20L provide cable armour earthing?
The gland's armour clamping arrangement can facilitate electrical continuity with the metallic cable armour. A suitable earthing arrangement, using compatible accessories where required, must be correctly installed to achieve the intended protective connection.
Trusted Cable Termination for Indoor Electrical Installations
Partex BW indoor cable glands offer a practical solution for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers working with steel wire armoured cables. The PXBW-20L combines an M20 metric entry with a specified 14.0–20.8 mm cable diameter range for secure mechanical armour termination in suitable indoor electrical installations.
