Overview

The ABB STAR TECK ST050-462S is a 1/2-inch steel jacketed cable fitting designed for Teck and ACWU cable installations. Part of the 10464 Series, this fitting incorporates user feedback to deliver a pop-on design that eliminates disassembly during installation. The splined gland and gripping features ensure secure cable termination, preventing slippage or rotation. The steel construction provides mechanical protection, while the integrated sealing ring maintains IP-rated ingress protection against dust and moisture. This fitting is optimized for industrial environments where reliable cable management and termination integrity are critical. The 0.525–0.650 inch range over jacket accommodates varying cable diameters within the specified tolerance. Compatible with standard Teck/ACWU cable systems, it is widely used in manufacturing, utilities, and heavy industrial applications where armored or metal-clad cables require secure, code-compliant terminations. The fitting meets industry standards for cable gland performance, including mechanical strength and environmental resistance. Installation requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools, reducing labor time and potential installation errors. The steel material ensures long-term durability in harsh conditions, including vibration, temperature extremes, and corrosive atmospheres. This fitting is a direct extension of the STAR TECK series, which has set benchmarks for ease of use and termination reliability since its introduction.

How to Install Star Teck Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing Star Teck Series cable fittings, ensuring a secure and sealed connection for armored cables in various applications.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wire strippers, Torque wrench (optional)

Supplies needed:

Star Teck Cable Fitting, Armored Cable

  1. Select Appropriate Fitting

    Select the appropriate Star Teck cable fitting that accommodates both the enclosure and the specific armored cable you intend to use. Consult the product table provided in the documentation for proper sizing based on cable diameter and armor range.

  2. Prepare Cable for Insertion

    WARNING: Disconnect power before installation to avoid risk of shock. Determine the working length of the conductor required inside the enclosure or device. Carefully remove a portion of the cable's outer jacket to expose the armor. Use a hacksaw to cut the armor and trim the outer jacket to the strip length specified in the product table. CAUTION: Do not nick or cut the conductor insulation during this process.

  3. Insert Cable into Gland Nut

    Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor makes firm contact with the internal end stop of the fitting.

  4. Tighten Gland Nut for Seal

    Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained around the cable's outer jacket, or to the maximum torque specified in the product table. Ensure the bushing seals evenly and the cable remains centered within the fitting to obtain an optimal and secure seal. CAUTION: This product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
