Why Choose the Partex PXBW-32L M32 BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-32L is a professional M32 BW indoor armoured cable gland designed for terminating suitable armoured electrical cables in indoor electrical installations. Featuring an M32 metric entry thread and a specified cable diameter range of 26.3–33.5 mm, this cable gland provides a practical termination solution for electrical distribution systems, industrial control equipment, switchgear and machinery installations.
Part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, the PXBW-32L is intended for applications requiring mechanical termination of compatible cable armour at an electrical enclosure entry. BW-type glands are commonly used with steel wire armoured (SWA) cables in dry indoor environments. Their armour termination arrangement distinguishes them from A1/A2 glands designed for unarmoured cables and CW-type glands incorporating additional outer-sheath sealing for applications requiring environmental protection.
The Partex PXBW-32L is particularly suitable for consideration by electrical contractors, industrial installers, control panel manufacturers and maintenance engineers working with larger armoured cables. Its 26.3–33.5 mm cable diameter capacity and M32 entry thread provide defined selection criteria for cable gland sizing, helping installers achieve an appropriate cable entry and armour termination arrangement when the gland is correctly matched to the cable construction.

Reliable Indoor Termination for Larger Armoured Cables
Correctly selecting and installing an armoured cable gland is essential for establishing an appropriate cable termination at an electrical enclosure. The Partex PXBW-32L is specified for cables with diameters between 26.3 mm and 33.5 mm and features an M32 metric entry thread. Its BW-type design provides a mechanical armour termination arrangement for compatible armoured cables, supporting organised cable entry into indoor electrical equipment.
Installation should follow the applicable Partex cable gland instructions, with particular attention to cable outside diameter, armour construction, gland assembly and enclosure entry compatibility. Where electrical continuity through the armour, protective bonding or earthing is required, the complete termination arrangement must meet the relevant installation requirements. Because the PXBW-32L is an indoor BW gland, it should not be assumed to provide the environmental sealing associated with a suitably specified outdoor CW gland. Any required ingress protection rating, material characteristics or certification should be confirmed from the manufacturer's technical documentation.
Typical Applications
- Indoor termination of compatible steel wire armoured cables.
- Industrial electrical distribution boards and switchgear.
- Electrical plant rooms and power distribution equipment.
- Industrial control panels and motor control centres.
- Commercial building electrical distribution installations.
- Machine-building and industrial power systems.
- Indoor electrical junction boxes and termination enclosures.
- Industrial machinery and associated electrical equipment.
- Electrical maintenance and installation refurbishment projects.
- Larger armoured cable entries requiring an M32 gland.
- Professional indoor cable termination and enclosure wiring installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXBW-32L used for?
The Partex PXBW-32L is an M32 BW indoor cable gland designed for the entry and mechanical armour termination of suitable armoured electrical cables into compatible electrical enclosures and equipment.
What cable diameter range does the PXBW-32L accept?
The PXBW-32L is specified for cables with a diameter of 26.3–33.5 mm. The cable's actual outside diameter and armour dimensions should be checked against the relevant Partex gland selection information before installation.
What thread size does the Partex PXBW-32L have?
The PXBW-32L features an M32 metric entry thread for installation into a compatible electrical enclosure opening.
What does BW mean on a cable gland?
BW identifies a gland type commonly used for terminating suitable armoured electrical cables in dry indoor environments. BW glands provide an armour termination arrangement but should not be assumed to provide the outer-sheath environmental sealing associated with CW-type glands.
Is the PXBW-32L suitable for steel wire armoured cable?
The PXBW-32L is a BW-type armoured cable gland, a design commonly used with compatible steel wire armoured cables. Suitability depends on the cable's outside diameter, armour construction and the manufacturer's gland selection requirements.
Can the PXBW-32L be installed outdoors?
The PXBW-32L is specified as an indoor cable gland. For outdoor, wet or moisture-exposed installations, a suitably specified gland with the required environmental sealing should be selected.
What is the difference between BW and CW cable glands?
BW cable glands are generally intended for suitable armoured cable terminations in dry indoor environments, whereas CW cable glands incorporate additional outer-sheath sealing arrangements for applications requiring greater environmental protection. Selection depends on the cable construction and installation conditions.
Does the PXBW-32L include an earth tag, locknut or shroud?
The supplied product specification does not confirm whether an earth tag, locknut, shroud or other installation accessories are included. The package contents and any additional components required for the installation should be checked before ordering.
Does the Partex PXBW-32L have an IP rating?
A specific IP rating has not been established for the PXBW-32L. Any required ingress protection performance should be verified against the manufacturer's documentation and the completed enclosure installation.
What is the difference between the PXBW-32L and PXBW-25S?
The PXBW-32L features an M32 thread and a specified cable diameter range of 26.3–33.5 mm, whereas the PXBW-25S features an M25 thread and a cable diameter range of 18.0–24.0 mm. Both are Partex BW indoor cable glands, but they are intended for different cable and enclosure entry sizes.
Designed for Professional Armoured Cable Installations
Partex BW indoor cable glands provide electrical contractors, industrial installers, control panel manufacturers and maintenance professionals with practical solutions for terminating suitable armoured cables, supporting organised electrical installations, correct gland selection and consistent cable entry practices.
