Furutech FI-E48 NCF(Ag) by request High End Performance Schuko Connector

Description

The Furutech FI-E48 NCF(Ag) High-End Performance Schuko Connector is a top-tier power connector designed to provide exceptionally clean, stable, and noise-free power to high-end audio and video systems. Engineered with Furutech’s advanced Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology, this Schuko connector is built to reduce electrical noise and mechanical resonance, ensuring optimal power delivery for audiophiles and professionals who demand the highest performance from their equipment. The use of silver-plated contacts further enhances its conductivity and long-term reliability.

• Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF): The FI-E48 NCF(Ag) incorporates Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology, a unique combination of nano-sized crystalline particles, ceramic, and carbon powder that works to eliminate static and convert thermal and mechanical energy into far-infrared energy. This helps reduce electrical noise and mechanical resonance, ensuring a cleaner power signal for superior system performance.
• Silver-Plated Contacts: The contacts of the FI-E48 NCF(Ag) are silver-plated, which offers extremely high conductivity and excellent resistance to oxidation. Silver, being one of the best conductors, ensures that power is delivered with minimal signal loss and maximum efficiency, enhancing the performance of high-end audio and video systems.
• High-Purity α (Alpha) OCC Copper Conductors: The internal conductors are made from α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper, known for its high purity and superior conductivity. This ensures that the power delivered to connected devices is stable, clean, and free of noise.
• Non-Magnetic Stainless-Steel Housing: The connector’s non-magnetic stainless-steel body reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical vibrations, contributing to a more stable and interference-free power supply. This results in clearer audio and more accurate video performance.
• High-Performance Schuko Design: The Schuko connector is a standard in many European countries, providing a secure and stable connection with Schuko-style power plugs. The FI-E48 NCF(Ag) ensures a tight fit for reliable power delivery, making it ideal for high-performance systems.

Performance Benefits:

• Clean and Stable Power: The combination of NCF technology, silver-plated contacts, and high-purity α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors ensures minimal interference, reduced noise, and stable power transmission. This leads to enhanced performance of audio systems with clearer sound, greater dynamics, and more precise imaging.
• Reduced Electrical Noise and Vibration: Furutech’s NCF technology works to eliminate electrical noise and mechanical resonance, delivering a cleaner power signal to connected devices. This improves the sound quality of high-end audio systems and enhances the clarity and accuracy of video systems.
• Long-Term Durability: The silver-plated contacts provide excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance even under continuous use. The robust design of the FI-E48 NCF(Ag) makes it a durable solution for demanding high-performance environments.
• Enhanced System Performance: By delivering cleaner and interference-free power, the FI-E48 NCF(Ag) improves the overall performance of high-end audio and video systems, resulting in better sound clarity, more detailed sound reproduction, and improved visual performance in video systems.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Audio Systems: Perfect for audiophiles who want to deliver clean, stable power to their high-performance equipment, such as amplifiers, DACs, preamps, and high-fidelity speakers, ensuring the best possible sound quality.
• Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for recording studios and other professional environments where clean, interference-free power is essential for maintaining the highest sound quality and accuracy.
• Home Theater Systems: Ideal for home theater setups where delivering stable power to projectors, high-definition TVs, and home theater audio systems ensures enhanced picture and sound 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.
