Why Choose the Partex PXBW-50S BW Indoor Cable Gland?
The Partex PXBW-50S is a robust BW indoor armoured cable gland designed for the secure termination of steel wire armoured (SWA) electrical cables in dry indoor environments. Featuring an M50 metric entry thread and a specified cable diameter range of 38.2–46.3 mm, this gland provides a practical solution for industrial power distribution, electrical switchgear and commercial electrical installations.
Part of the Partex BW indoor cable gland range, the PXBW-50S is designed to provide mechanical retention of cable armour at the point of termination. Its brass construction offers durability and strength, while the armour clamping arrangement supports secure cable installation and electrical continuity through the armour termination when correctly assembled and bonded.
With its M50 threaded connection and capacity to accommodate armoured cables within the specified 38.2–46.3 mm diameter range, the PXBW-50S is particularly suitable for larger industrial power cable installations. The BW gland design is intended for dry indoor applications where an external weatherproof seal is not required, making it a practical choice for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers.

Reliable Indoor Termination for Steel Wire Armoured Cables
Correct termination of steel wire armoured cables is essential for maintaining mechanical security and effective protective bonding in electrical installations. The Partex PXBW-50S is designed to clamp the cable armour securely at the termination point, helping prevent unwanted movement and providing a suitable interface between the cable and electrical equipment. When installed correctly with the necessary earthing components, the gland arrangement can support electrical continuity of the cable armour.
The Partex BW series is intended for dry indoor installations, including electrical switchrooms, distribution cabinets and industrial control equipment. Unlike outdoor CW-type glands, conventional BW glands do not provide an external weatherproof seal around the cable sheath. For installations exposed to rain, water ingress or other demanding environmental conditions, an appropriately rated outdoor cable gland should be selected instead. Correct gland sizing, armour preparation and installation procedures are essential for dependable termination.
Typical Applications
- Indoor electrical switchgear and power distribution assemblies.
- Steel wire armoured cable termination in dry electrical rooms.
- Industrial control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Commercial building electrical distribution systems.
- Motor control centres and industrial power equipment.
- Manufacturing machinery and factory electrical installations.
- Electrical junction boxes and cable termination enclosures.
- Maintenance and replacement of indoor SWA cable glands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex PXBW-50S used for?
The Partex PXBW-50S is a BW indoor brass cable gland used to terminate steel wire armoured electrical cables in dry indoor environments, including switchgear, distribution equipment and industrial electrical enclosures.
What cable diameter is suitable for the PXBW-50S?
The PXBW-50S has a specified cable diameter range of 38.2–46.3 mm. The cable construction, armour dimensions and relevant gland selection requirements should be checked before installation.
What thread size does the Partex PXBW-50S use?
The gland features an M50 metric entry thread with a nominal thread diameter of 50 mm, suitable for compatible enclosure entries and gland plates.
Can the PXBW-50S be used outdoors?
