Overview

ABB Installation Products’ STAR TECK EXTREME aluminum data fitting (SKU: STE050DATA) is a range-taking teck fitting designed to simplify cable-to-fitting matching. This single fitting replaces three conventional STAR TECK hub sizes, reducing inventory complexity and cost. The 1/2" hub size accommodates jacket outer diameters from 0.500" to 0.700", eliminating the need for multiple SKUs. A key innovation is the removable armour stop, which allows for quick adjustment and secure cable termination without tools. This feature has since become an industry standard for teck fittings. The aluminum construction ensures corrosion resistance and lightweight durability in industrial environments. Ideal for data cabling applications where flexibility and efficiency in installation are critical. Compatible with standard STAR TECK systems, this fitting meets UNSPSC 39121311 for electrical fittings.

How to Install Star Teck Extreme STE050DATA Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing armored cable and properly installing Star Teck Extreme STE050DATA cable fittings, ensuring a secure and sealed connection in accordance with electrical codes.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wrench, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Star Teck Extreme STE050DATA Cable Fitting, Armored Cable

  1. Prepare for Installation and Select Fitting

    WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning installation to prevent risk of shock. Ensure the product is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Select the appropriate Star Teck Extreme fitting (e.g., STE050DATA) that is compatible with both your enclosure and the armored cable being used.

  2. Prepare the Armored Cable

    Determine the required working length of conductors inside the enclosure. 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 (Figure 1). CAUTION: Do not nick or cut the conductor insulation. Refer to the table (Figure 2) to ensure the strip length matches the glandnut length.

  3. Insert Cable into Fitting

    Feed the prepared armored cable through the gland funnel entry of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the armor stop inside the fitting (Figure 3). WARNING: Mispositioned cable armor may result in improper cable armor grounding. If the inner conductor bundle cannot pass through, unscrew and discard the armor stop (Figure 6), then repeat this insertion step.

  4. Secure and Seal the Fitting

    Tighten the gland nut firmly until an appropriate seal is achieved, or to the maximum torque value specified in the product table (Figure 4). Verify that the bushing and collar ring seal evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and are flush with the glandnut face (Figure 5). Ensure the cable remains perfectly centered within the fitting to obtain an optimal and reliable seal.
