Description
The Furutech FI-E48 NCF(R) High-End Performance Schuko Connector is a high-performance power connector engineered to deliver clean, stable, and interference-free power to high-end audio and video systems. Furutech has integrated its innovative Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology and rhodium-plated contacts into this connector, making it an ideal choice for audiophiles and professionals looking to optimize power transmission to their sensitive equipment. This connector is designed to minimize electrical noise and mechanical resonance, significantly improving system performance by ensuring a cleaner power supply.
- Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF): Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology is a unique combination of nano-sized crystalline particles, ceramic powder, and carbon powder. This blend generates negative ions that eliminate static electricity while converting thermal and mechanical energy into far-infrared energy. This reduces electrical noise and mechanical vibration, delivering a cleaner, more stable power signal.
- Rhodium-Plated Contacts: The FI-E48 NCF(R) features rhodium-plated contacts, known for their superior conductivity and excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Rhodium ensures minimal signal degradation over time, offering stable, high-quality power transmission to connected devices.
- High-Purity α (Alpha) OCC Copper Conductors: The internal conductors are made from α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper, recognized for its exceptional purity and superior conductivity. This ensures minimal signal loss, allowing clean and efficient power transmission to high-performance audio and video systems.
- Carbon Fiber and Non-Magnetic Stainless-Steel Housing: The FI-E48 NCF(R) is housed in a carbon fiber and non-magnetic stainless-steel body, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical resonance, delivering a stable, interference-free power signal.
- Floating Field Damper System: Furutech’s Floating Field Damper System minimizes both mechanical and electrical distortion, ensuring a cleaner and more stable power signal, which enhances the overall performance of connected equipment.
- Schuko Connector: The Schuko design is standard in European power systems and provides a secure, stable connection with Schuko-style power plugs. The FI-E48 NCF(R) ensures a tight fit and reliable power delivery to high-performance systems.
Performance Benefits:
- Clean and Stable Power Delivery: The combination of NCF technology, rhodium-plated contacts, and high-purity α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors ensures superior power transmission with minimal signal degradation. This cleaner power enhances system performance, providing clearer sound, better dynamics, and improved video quality.
- Reduced Electrical Noise and Vibration: The NCF technology helps eliminate static, reduce electrical noise, and minimize mechanical vibrations, resulting in a cleaner, more stable power signal. This leads to more detailed sound, clearer imaging, and sharper visuals in connected systems.
- Long-Term Durability: The rhodium-plated contacts provide excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even under frequent use. The durable carbon fiber and stainless-steel housing further enhances the connector’s reliability and durability.
- Enhanced System Performance: By delivering clean, stable, and interference-free power, the FI-E48 NCF(R) significantly improves the performance of high-end audio and video systems, leading to more accurate sound reproduction, greater dynamic range, and superior visual clarity.
Ideal Applications:
- High-End Audio Systems: Ideal for audiophiles who seek to provide clean, stable power to high-performance components such as amplifiers, DACs, preamps, and high-fidelity speakers, ensuring optimal sound clarity and performance.
- Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for use in professional recording studios and environments where clean, interference-free power is essential for achieving high-quality sound production.
- Home Theater Systems: Perfect for home theater setups where stable power delivery to projectors, high-definition TVs, and home theater audio systems is necessary for improved sound and video quality.

FEATURES
Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF)
Incorporated into selected Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.
The Furutech Floating Field Damper System
Magnetic Floating Field Damping Current flowing through a cable and its connector creates magnetic (and electrostatic) fields around them, building and collapsing 60 times per second in 120VAC systems. This magnetic field induces current flow– electrical potential–in small parts like the screws holding the connector shell together which have to be metal for tight clamping. The current flow in these small parts actually creates “floating” magnetic fields around them, and they interfere with the cable/connector’s larger surrounding magnetic field resulting in noise and distortion.
The Furutech Floating Field Damper solves the biggest problem you never realized you had by star grounding the metal parts in which floating magnetic fields are induced by current flow. All the various metal parts of the connector are tied together and shunt whatever electrical potentials generated to ground. This significantly lowers noise by reducing distortion for ultra-clean and stable power transfer.
