Description

The Furutech FI-50(R) High-End Performance C13 IEC Connector is a premium power connector designed to provide clean, stable, and interference-free power to high-performance audio and video systems. Engineered with Furutech’s advanced technologies, including rhodium-plated contacts and Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF), this C13 IEC connector is an excellent choice for audiophiles and professionals looking for the highest quality power delivery for their sensitive equipment. The FI-50(R) is built to minimize electrical noise and mechanical resonance, ensuring optimal system performance.

• Rhodium-Plated Contacts: The FI-50(R) features rhodium-plated contacts, known for their excellent conductivity, durability, and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Rhodium ensures minimal signal degradation over time, delivering consistent and high-quality power transmission for connected devices.
• Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF): Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology combines nano-sized crystalline particles, ceramic powder, and carbon powder to generate negative ions that eliminate static, while converting mechanical and thermal energy into far-infrared energy. This helps to significantly reduce electrical noise and mechanical vibrations, resulting in a cleaner power signal.
• High-Purity α (Alpha) OCC Copper Conductors: The internal conductors are made from α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper, known for its purity and superior conductivity. This ensures minimal power loss, providing clean and stable power transmission to high-performance audio and video systems.
• Carbon Fiber and Stainless-Steel Housing: The connector’s housing is crafted from a carbon fiber and non-magnetic stainless-steel composite, which helps to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical resonance. This ensures a stable, interference-free power signal that enhances sound and video clarity.
• C13 IEC Connector: The C13 connector is widely used in audio and video equipment, such as power amplifiers, preamps, home theater receivers, and other high-performance components, ensuring reliable power delivery.

Performance Benefits:

• Clean and Stable Power Delivery: The combination of rhodium-plated contacts and high-purity α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors ensures superior power transmission, reducing signal degradation and interference. This results in enhanced system performance with clearer audio, more dynamic range, and improved video quality.
• Reduced Electrical Noise and Resonance: The Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) helps to eliminate static and reduce both electrical noise and mechanical vibrations, providing a cleaner power signal. This improves the clarity, accuracy, and depth of sound in high-end audio systems and enhances the visual performance of video components.
• Long-Term Durability: The rhodium-plated contacts offer excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring reliable performance even with continuous use. The rugged carbon fiber and stainless-steel construction also enhances the durability of the FI-50(R), making it a long-lasting solution for demanding environments.
• Improved System Performance: By delivering clean, stable, and interference-free power, the FI-50(R) significantly enhances the performance of high-end audio and video systems, leading to more accurate sound reproduction, greater dynamics, and superior video quality.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Audio Systems: Ideal for audiophiles looking to deliver clean, stable power to high-performance components such as amplifiers, DACs, preamps, and high-fidelity speakers for optimal sound clarity and detail.
• Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for professional environments where clean, interference-free power is crucial for achieving high-quality sound production and precision.
• Home Theater Systems: Perfect for home theater setups where stable power delivery is essential for improving the sound and video performance of projectors, high-definition TVs, and home theater audio systems.

FEATURES
Piezo Ceramic Series Connectors
A Furutech First!
Furutech’s Pure Transmission FI-50 Piezo Ceramic series connector bodies and housings feature several breakthrough
construction techniques. A multilayer nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fiber shell incorporates a special damping and insulating acetal copolymer. Furutech settled on stainless and carbon fiber for the outer housing after extensive listening sessions with Japanese industry figures and audiophiles.

The body of the connectors combines two “active” materials: Nano-sized ceramic particles and powdered carbon. (Only nano-sized ceramic particles effectively couples with carbon powder.) Nylon and fiberglass are incorporated as well forming an extremely effective, well damped, mechanically and electrically nonresonant connector body. That’s correct, they’re electrically damped as well.

Piezoelectric effects are the key. Furutech’s breakthrough in design and materials is based on employing nano-sized polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramic particles exhibiting electro-generative properties; mechanical pressure creates an electrical charge forming a bridge between electrical and mechanical oscillation.

Carbon powder exhibits thermal-conductive characteristics that interact with the charged ferro-ceramic particles converting their energy into heat that’s conducted away and released from the surface of the connector body!

These carefully chosen and tested “active” materials mechanically and electrically damp the connector and receptacle as they “interconvert” thermal, mechanical, and electrical energy for the finest Furutech Pure Transmission signal imaginable.
