Overview

The ABB STAR TECK stainless steel jacketed cable fitting (SKU: ST050-462SS) is a pop-on teck fitting designed for teck and ACWU cables. Developed as an extension of the 10464 Series, it incorporates user feedback to deliver a no-tools installation process with a splined gland and gripping features for secure cable termination. The 1/2" hub size accommodates jacket diameters from 0.525" to 0.650", ensuring compatibility with a range of industrial cable types. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh environments, including chemical exposure, high moisture, and temperature fluctuations. Unlike traditional teck fittings requiring disassembly, the STAR TECK design simplifies installation while maintaining reliable strain relief and grounding. It meets industrial standards for cable strain relief and is suitable for use in manufacturing plants, refineries, and commercial construction where teck or ACWU cables are specified. The fitting’s design reduces labor time by eliminating the need for gland disassembly, while its stainless steel material ensures long-term durability in outdoor or corrosive indoor settings. Compatible with ABB’s STAR TECK series, this fitting is a direct replacement for applications requiring a 1/2" hub and jacket range of 0.525-0.650".

How to Install Star Teck ST050-462SS Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of Star Teck ST050-462SS cable fittings, including cable preparation and sealing procedures. Always disconnect power before installation and ensure the product is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Wrench, Hacksaw

Supplies needed:

Star Teck ST050-462SS cable fitting, Armored cable, Electrical enclosure or device

  1. Select the Correct Cable Fitting

    Choose the Star Teck cable fitting that is appropriate for both the enclosure or device and the specific armored cable being used. Refer to the product table in the documentation for compatibility based on cable diameter and hub size.

  2. Prepare the Cable Armor

    Determine the required working length of the conductor inside the enclosure or device. Carefully remove a portion of the cable's outer jacket to expose the armor. Using a hacksaw, cut the armor to the specified strip length found in the product table. Trim the outer jacket to adjust the exposed armor strip length. Exercise caution to avoid nicking or cutting the conductor insulation.

  3. Insert Cable into Fitting

    Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the internal end stop of the fitting. The fitting is designed to not require disassembly for this step.

  4. Secure and Seal the Fitting

    Tighten the gland nut to achieve an appropriate seal around the cable's outer jacket. Alternatively, tighten to the maximum torque specified in the product table for your specific fitting model. Ensure the bushing seals evenly and the cable remains centered within the fitting for an optimal, watertight seal.
