Overview

The ABB Star Teck ST300-481 is a high-performance aluminum jacketed cable fitting engineered for secure, reliable terminations in industrial environments. Designed for Teck and ACWU cable types, this fitting features a 3-inch NPT hub and accommodates outer jacket diameters from 3.210 to 3.480 inches. The ST300-481 is part of the Star Teck 10464 Series, developed with direct end-user input to deliver a pop-on design that eliminates disassembly during installation. Key features include a splined gland for enhanced grip, a stainless steel retaining ring for corrosion resistance, and a non-magnetic Power-Grip grounding ring that ensures 360° long-term contact with the cable. The tapered neoprene bushing provides a watertight seal, preventing cupping or water ingress in vertical installations. The low-profile aluminum gland nut is durable, reusable, and designed for tight spaces, with screwdriver grooves and wrench flats for easy installation. The ST300-481 is suitable for hazardous locations including Class 1 Div. 2, Class II Div. 2, and Class III environments. For explosion-proof or dust-proof applications, ABB offers Star Teck XP fittings (STX Series). The fitting's overlapping size ranges minimize mismatched cables and fittings in the field, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of industrial applications.

How to Install a Star Teck™ ST300-481 Cable Fitting

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing a Star Teck™ ST300-481 cable fitting, including cable preparation and sealing procedures. WARNING: Disconnect power before installation. This product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wire strippers, Wrench or Torque Wrench

Supplies needed:

Star Teck™ ST300-481 Cable Fitting, Armored Cable

  1. Select the Correct Cable Fitting

    Choose the appropriate Star Teck™ cable fitting (e.g., ST300-481) that accommodates the enclosure and the specific armored cable you are using. Refer to the product table for compatibility based on cable jacket and armor ranges.

  2. Prepare the 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 specified exposed armor strip length as indicated in the product table. CAUTION: Do not nick or cut the conductor insulation during this process.

  3. Insert the Cable into the 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.

  4. Secure and Seal the Gland Nut

    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 ST300-481 fitting. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and the cable remains centered to obtain an optimal seal.
