Why Choose the Partex PXBW-50L M50 BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-50L is a professional M50 BW indoor armoured cable gland designed for the mechanical termination of compatible armoured electrical cables in indoor installations. Featuring a specified cable diameter range of 44.0–52.6 mm, this cable gland provides a practical solution for industrial electrical distribution, switchgear installations, control panels and heavy-duty electrical equipment.
Featuring an M50 metric entry thread, the PXBW-50L is intended for installation into suitably sized electrical enclosure entries. Its BW gland configuration is commonly used for indoor termination of compatible steel wire armoured (SWA) cables, providing mechanical armour clamping and supporting the electrical continuity of the cable armour when correctly installed and bonded.
The Partex PXBW-50L is particularly useful for installations involving larger-diameter armoured cables where secure termination and appropriate protective earthing arrangements are required. Its defined 44.0–52.6 mm cable diameter range helps electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers identify the appropriate gland for compatible cable installations.

Secure Indoor Termination for Larger Armoured Electrical Cables
Correct termination of armoured electrical cables is essential for maintaining mechanical security and appropriate protective earthing arrangements. The Partex PXBW-50L M50 BW cable gland provides a practical indoor termination solution for compatible armoured cables within the specified 44.0–52.6 mm diameter range.
The BW gland configuration is intended to clamp the cable armour securely at the equipment entry point. When correctly installed, the gland can form part of the electrical continuity and protective bonding arrangement for the metallic armour. Where earth tags, locknuts or other bonding accessories are required, they must be selected and installed in accordance with the electrical installation design.
The M50 entry thread makes the PXBW-50L suitable for compatible larger cable entries in industrial electrical enclosures, switchgear assemblies and power distribution equipment. Its specified cable diameter range helps installers identify an appropriate gland for larger armoured cables while maintaining a professional termination arrangement.
As a BW indoor cable gland, the PXBW-50L should not be assumed to provide the environmental sealing associated with weatherproof armoured cable glands. For outdoor, exposed or moisture-prone locations, an appropriately rated gland with the required outer sheath sealing and ingress protection should be selected.
Before installation, verify the cable construction, relevant cable dimensions, armour compatibility and M50 enclosure entry. Installation should follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical standards, including requirements for protective bonding and mechanical cable support.
