Overview

The ABB Star Teck aluminum jacketed cable fitting, SKU ST050-466, is a precision-engineered termination solution for Teck and ACWU cables in industrial environments. Designed for ordinary locations, this fitting features a 1/2" NPT hub size and accommodates cable jacket diameters from 0.825 to 0.985 inches. Its aluminum construction provides inherent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh industrial applications where durability and reliability are critical. Key features include a pop-on design that eliminates disassembly during installation, a splined gland for enhanced cable grip, and integrated gripping elements positioned high on the cable to reduce dependency on precise strip length. The stainless steel retaining ring ensures dependable service in corrosive environments, while the non-magnetic power-grip grounding ring delivers 360° long-term grounding with immediate contact. The tapered bushing provides a secure, watertight seal, preventing cupping or water ingress in vertical installations. The low-profile gland nut is engineered for easy installation in tight spaces, featuring screwdriver grooves and wrench flats for tool compatibility. The funnel entry simplifies cable insertion, and the fitting is reusable for added convenience. This fitting is part of the Star Teck series, developed with end-user feedback to set a benchmark for efficient installation and operational integrity. It is suitable for use in hazardous locations classified as Class 1 Div. 2, Class II Div. 2, and Class III, though explosion-proof or dust-proof fittings (Star Teck XP series) are required where mandated by code. Applications include industrial machinery, control panels, and cable management systems where secure, corrosion-resistant terminations are essential. The fitting’s design prioritizes ease of use without compromising on performance, ensuring reliable cable management in challenging environments.

How to Install a Star Teck ST050-466 Cable Fitting

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing your armored cable and properly installing the Star Teck ST050-466 cable fitting to ensure a secure and sealed connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Armored cable, Star Teck ST050-466 cable fitting

  1. Prepare for Installation and Select Fitting

    WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning installation to prevent risk of electric shock. Ensure the product is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Select the appropriate Star Teck cable fitting (ST050-466) that matches your enclosure and the armored cable being used.

  2. Prepare the Armored Cable

    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. Use a hacksaw to cut the armor, then trim the outer jacket to achieve the exposed armor strip length specified in the product table for the ST050-466 fitting. CAUTION: Avoid nicking or cutting the conductor insulation during this process.

  3. Insert the Cable into the Fitting

    Feed the prepared armored cable through the gland nut opening of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the internal end stop of the fitting.

  4. Secure and Seal the Cable Fitting

    Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is achieved around the cable's outer jacket, or tighten to the maximum torque specified in the product table for the ST050-466 fitting. Ensure the cable remains centered within the bushing to obtain an optimal and even seal.
