Description

The Furutech FI-52 NCF(R) High-End Performance C19 IEC Connector (20A) is a state-of-the-art power connector designed to deliver superior, clean, and stable power to high-performance audio and video systems. Engineered with Furutech’s Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology and rhodium-plated contacts, this 20A-rated C19 connector is ideal for demanding equipment requiring high power transmission, such as power amplifiers, professional audio gear, and high-end video systems. Its meticulous design ensures that power is delivered with minimal signal loss, reduced electrical noise, and improved system performance.

• Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF): The FI-52 NCF(R) utilizes Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology, which integrates nano-sized crystalline particles, ceramic, and carbon powder. This formula generates negative ions that eliminate static and converts mechanical and thermal energy into far-infrared energy, dramatically reducing electrical noise and mechanical vibration for a cleaner power signal.
• Rhodium-Plated Contacts: The connector features rhodium-plated contacts, providing excellent conductivity, durability, and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Rhodium plating ensures minimal signal degradation, offering a consistent, high-quality power connection over time.
• High-Purity α (Alpha) OCC Copper Conductors: The internal conductors are made from α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper, known for its exceptional purity and superior conductivity. This minimizes signal loss and ensures clean, stable power transmission to connected devices.
• Carbon Fiber and Stainless-Steel Housing: The connector’s body is crafted from a carbon fiber and non-magnetic stainless-steel composite, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical resonance. This construction provides a stable and interference-free power supply, leading to enhanced sound and video quality.
• 20A C19 Connector: Designed for high-powered devices, the C19 connector is rated for 20A at 250V, making it suitable for heavy-duty equipment such as power amplifiers, high-end servers, and professional audio/video components that require stable, high-capacity power delivery.

Performance Benefits:

• Superior Power Delivery: The combination of NCF technology, rhodium-plated contacts, and high-purity α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors ensures efficient, interference-free power transmission. This leads to improved system performance with clearer sound, more dynamic range, and enhanced visual accuracy.
• Reduced Electrical Noise and Resonance: Furutech’s NCF technology reduces electrical noise and mechanical vibration, delivering a cleaner power signal. This improves audio clarity, depth, and accuracy, while also enhancing video performance with sharper visuals and more accurate colors.
• Long-Term Durability: The rhodium-plated contacts offer excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance even under continuous use. The carbon fiber and stainless-steel housing further enhances the connector’s durability.
• Enhanced System Performance: By delivering clean, stable, and interference-free power, the FI-52 NCF(R) significantly improves the performance of high-end audio and video systems, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction, greater dynamics, and superior video quality.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Audio Systems: Perfect for audiophiles who want to provide clean, stable power to high-performance components such as large power amplifiers, DACs, and high-fidelity speakers for optimal sound clarity and performance.
• Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for professional recording studios and environments where clean, interference-free power is critical for achieving accurate sound production and precision in audio processing.
• High-Powered Home Theater Systems: Ideal for home theater setups where high-power devices like projectors, AV receivers, or amplifiers require a stable power supply to improve sound and picture quality.
• High-Powered Computing Devices: Excellent for high-powered servers, workstations, and other professional devices that require a high-capacity, stable power supply.

The Furutech FI-52 NCF(R) High-End Performance C19 IEC Connector (20A) is designed to deliver the cleanest, most stable, and interference-free power to high-powered audio, video, and professional equipment. Featuring Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology, rhodium-plated contacts, and high-purity α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors, the FI-52 NCF(R) ensures superior power transmission while minimizing noise and improving system performance. Whether you’re powering a high-end audio system, professional studio gear, or demanding home theater equipment, the FI-52 NCF(R) offers exceptional performance and long-term reliability, making it a must-have for achieving high-fidelity sound and video quality with high-powered devices.

FEATURES
NCF Piezo Ceramic Series Connectors
• A Furutech First!
Furutech’s Pure Transmission FI-52 NCF Piezo Ceramic series connector bodies and housings feature several breakthrough construction techniques.

A multilayer nonmagnetic stainless steel and silver plated carbon fiber shell incorporates a special damping and insulating acetal copolymer. Furutech settled on stainless and silver plated carbon fiber for the outer housing after extensive listening sessions with Japanese industry figures and audiophiles.

The body of the connectors incorporates an “active” damping material: Nano Crystal² Formula – Nano Crystalline, Ceramic and Carbon Powder
Incorporated into select Furutech products, Nano Crystal² Formula — NCF is comprised of a special crystalline material that has two “active” properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static and secondly, it converts thermal energy into far-infrared. Furutech then combines this remarkable crystalline material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional “Piezo Effect” damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material – only found in Furutech products!

Nano Crystal² Formula eliminates static, “interconverts” thermal, mechanical and electrical energy and damps vibrations—all for the finest Furutech Pure Transmission signal imaginable.
Floating Magnetic Field Effects
The Furutech Earth/Ground Jumper System
How far will Furutech’s engineers go in their attempts to reach Pure Transmission reference quality? Their concentrated examination of each and every element of signal transfer has resulted in another breakthrough technology, the Furutech Earth/Ground Jumper System. It eliminates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) induced in metal parts like connector housing screws.

Current flowing through the power connector creates a magnetic field, just as an insulated conductor creates both electromagnetic and electrostatic fields. Furutech engineers found this magnetic field induces current flow (and a small magnetic field) in the screws holding the connector together! These magnetic fields interfere with the larger magnetic field around the conductor and connector.

Furutech’s total attention to detail and elegant engineering neatly solves the problem. The Earth/Ground Jumper System connects the securing screws to a ground terminal within the plug completely eliminating the field disturbances they cause. The stray fields are grounded by a series of interlocking parts within the connector that attach to the ground conductor. The Jumper System is available in Furutech NEMA Power and IEC Connectors.
