Overview

The ABB Star Teck Extreme STE150 is a range-taking aluminum jacketed cable fitting designed to simplify cable-to-fitting matching while reducing inventory requirements. This fitting replaces three conventional Star Teck fittings by covering a jacketed cable range from 1.440 to 1.965 inches, eliminating the need for multiple SKUs. The 1-1/2 inch hub size ensures compatibility with standard Teck cable installations. A key innovation is the removable armour stop, which allows for quick adjustments and reusability without compromising sealing integrity. This feature has since become an industry standard due to its efficiency in field installations. Ideal for industrial environments where cable diameter variability is common, the Star Teck Extreme fitting reduces procurement complexity and on-site stocking challenges. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in harsh conditions, including chemical exposure and high-vibration applications. Commonly used in mining, oil & gas, and manufacturing facilities, this fitting meets the demands of Teck cable systems where secure grounding and environmental protection are critical. The STE150 is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted brand in electrical infrastructure solutions.

How to Install the Star Teck Extreme STE150 Cable Fitting

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing the cable and properly installing the Star Teck Extreme STE150 cable fitting to ensure a secure and sealed connection for armored cables.

Estimated time: 20m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Screwdriver, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Star Teck Extreme STE150 Cable Fitting, Armored Cable, Enclosure or Device

  1. Ensure Safety and Select Correct Fitting

    WARNING: Disconnect all power before beginning installation to prevent risk of shock. CAUTION: This product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Select the appropriate STE150 fitting that matches your enclosure and the armored cable being used.

  2. Prepare the Armored Cable

    Determine the required working length of conductors inside your enclosure or device. Carefully remove a portion of the cable's outer jacket to expose the armor. Using a hacksaw, cut the armor and trim the outer jacket to achieve an exposed armor strip length of approximately 1.260 inches for the STE150 fitting. CAUTION: Avoid nicking or cutting the conductor insulation during this process.

  3. Insert Cable into Gland Funnel

    Feed the prepared cable through the gland funnel entry of the STE150 fitting. Push the cable until the cable armor firmly hits the internal armor stop. If the inner conductor bundle does not pass through easily, unscrew and discard the armor stop (refer to Figure 6 in the original document) and then repeat this step.

  4. Secure and Seal the Cable Fitting

    Tighten the gland nut of the STE150 fitting until you achieve an appropriate seal. For optimal sealing and grounding, tighten to a maximum torque of 1200 IN-LBS. Ensure the bushing and collar ring seal evenly around the cable's outer jacket and are flush with the gland nut face, keeping the cable centered for an optimal seal.
