The Hawke E1W Industrial Cable Gland is a premium double-compression cable termination component manufactured by Hawke International. Purpose-built for high-demand industrial installations, the E1W is designed for terminating Single Wire Armour (SWA) and Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) cables in wet, dry, or exposed outdoor environments requiring IP66 ingress protection.
Precision-machined from solid brass and finished with nickel plating as standard, the Hawke E1W features an advanced sealing arrangement that grips both the internal cable bedding and the external cable sheath. This double-compression displacement mechanism prevents moisture and dust ingress along the entire length of the cable entry while locking the armour wires in place for exceptional pull-out resistance and earth continuity.
Key Features of the Hawke E1W Cable Gland
- Double Compression Sealing: Features dual environmental elastomer seals to secure both the inner cable bedding layer and the outer sheath against weather and water ingress.
- Armoured Cable Termination: Engineered specifically for single wire armour (SWA) cables compliant with BS 5467, BS 6724, and IEC 60502-1 standards.
- Nickel-Plated Brass Construction: Machined from high-grade brass with standard nickel plating to offer maximum protection against corrosion and mechanical damage.
- Severe Service Temperature Range: Rated for continuous operation across demanding ambient ranges from -20°C to +130°C (LSF) or -20°C to +90°C (PVC).
- Complete Kit Options: Supplied in kit formats complete with brass earth tags, locknuts, nylon sealing washers, and protective shrouds.

The Hawke E1W Cable Gland is ideal for direct mounting into outdoor junction boxes, switchgear, and power distribution panels. If your installation requires indoor-only unsealed termination, inspect our Hawke BW cable glands or the non-armoured Hawke A2 cable glands. For single-compression outer sheath sealing, refer to the Hawke CW cable glands.
