Overview

The ABB STAR TECK EXTREME steel jacketed fitting (SKU: STE050DATAS) is a range-taking teck fitting designed to simplify cable-to-fitting matching. Unlike conventional STAR TECK fittings that require multiple hub sizes for different cable diameters, this single fitting covers a range of 0.500 to 0.700 inches over the jacket. This reduces inventory complexity by replacing three standard hub sizes with one versatile fitting. Key features include a 1/2-inch hub size and removable armour stops, a design innovation that has since become an industry standard. The steel jacketed construction provides mechanical protection for cables in industrial and commercial installations. The fitting is compatible with standard teck cable systems, ensuring reliable strain relief and grounding. Common applications include electrical enclosures, control panels, and machinery where cable armor termination is required. The fitting’s range-taking capability minimizes stocking requirements while maintaining compatibility with multiple cable sizes. This reduces procurement costs and simplifies field installation by eliminating the need to select the exact fitting size for each cable diameter.
  • Single fitting replaces three standard hub sizes (range 0.500-0.700" over jacket)
  • 1/2-inch hub size for compatibility with standard teck cable systems
  • Removable armour stops for flexible installation and reuse
  • Steel jacketed construction for mechanical protection and durability
  • Reduces inventory complexity and procurement costs

How to Install Star Teck Extreme STE050DATAS Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of Star Teck Extreme STE050DATAS series cable fittings. It covers cable preparation, feeding, and securing the fitting to ensure a correct and safe connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wire strippers, Torque wrench or screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Star Teck Extreme STE050DATAS cable fitting, Armored cable

  1. Disconnect Power and Ensure Qualified Installation

    WARNING: Disconnect all power to the circuit before beginning installation to prevent risk of electrical shock. Ensure that a qualified electrician performs the installation in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

  2. Select the Correct Fitting

    Choose the appropriate Star Teck Extreme cable fitting (e.g., STE050DATAS) that matches the enclosure and the specific cable being used. Refer to the product table in the instruction sheet for specifications.

  3. Prepare the Cable Armor

    Determine the required working length of conductors 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 indicated in the product table (Figure 1). CAUTION: Be extremely careful not to nick or cut the conductor insulation during this process.

  4. Prepare the Cable Strip Length

    Ensure the cable's strip length, which is the length of the exposed conductors, is equal to the length of the glandnut. Consult the provided table (Figure 2) for the appropriate strip length for your specific fitting and cable.

  5. Feed Cable into Gland Funnel

    Insert the prepared cable through the gland funnel entry. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the armor stop inside the fitting (Figure 3). Improper positioning of the cable armor may result in improper cable armor grounding. If the inner conductor bundle does not pass through, proceed to the next step to remove the armor stop.

  6. (Optional) Remove Armor Stop

    If the inner conductor bundle cannot pass through the fitting, unscrew and discard the armor stop (Figure 6). After removing the armor stop, repeat Step 5 to feed the cable through the gland funnel.

  7. Secure and Seal the Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is achieved, or to the maximum torque 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 centered within the fitting to obtain an optimal and secure seal.
