Furutech FI-E46 NCF(G) High End Performance Schuko Connector

Description

The Furutech FI-E46 NCF(G) High-End Performance Schuko Connector is a premium-grade power connector designed to deliver clean, stable, and interference-free power to high-end audio and video systems. It incorporates Furutech’s advanced Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology to minimize electrical noise and mechanical resonance, ensuring superior performance for audiophiles and professionals. The gold-plated contacts further enhance conductivity and long-term durability, making it ideal for systems where precision and clarity are essential.

• Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF): The FI-E46 NCF(G) incorporates Furutech’s proprietary NCF technology, a blend of nano-sized crystalline particles, ceramic, and carbon powder that works to eliminate static and convert mechanical and thermal energy into far-infrared energy. This helps reduce electrical noise and mechanical resonance, resulting in cleaner power delivery and better overall system performance.
• Gold-Plated Contacts: The contacts of the FI-E46 NCF(G) are 24K gold-plated, offering superior conductivity and excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Gold-plated contacts ensure stable, high-quality power transmission over time, making it ideal for maintaining the integrity of the 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 high purity and exceptional conductivity. This ensures that power is delivered with minimal loss and maximum efficiency, providing clean and stable power to connected devices.
• Non-Magnetic Stainless-Steel Housing: The non-magnetic stainless-steel body reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical vibrations, resulting in a more stable and interference-free power supply that contributes to better sound and video performance.
• High-Performance Schuko Design: The Schuko connector is commonly used in Europe and provides a secure and stable connection to Schuko-style power plugs. The FI-E46 NCF(G) ensures a tight fit, ensuring reliable power delivery to high-end audio and video systems.

Performance Benefits:

• Cleaner and More Stable Power: The combination of NCF technology, gold-plated contacts, and high-purity α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors ensures that power is delivered with minimal interference or noise. This results in enhanced performance of connected audio and video equipment, with clearer sound, better dynamics, and more detailed imaging.
• Reduced Noise and Resonance: The NCF technology helps eliminate electrical noise and mechanical vibrations, providing a cleaner power signal. This improves the clarity and accuracy of sound in high-end audio systems and enhances the picture quality in video systems.
• Long-Term Durability: The gold-plated contacts offer excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance even under continuous use. The robust design of the FI-E46 NCF(G) ensures durability in demanding high-performance environments.
• Improved System Performance: By delivering clean, interference-free power, the FI-E46 NCF(G) enhances the overall performance of high-end audio and video systems, resulting in improved sound clarity, better dynamics, and enhanced visual performance.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Audio Systems: Ideal for audiophiles who want to deliver clean, stable power to their high-performance equipment such as amplifiers, DACs, preamps, and high-fidelity speakers for the best possible sound quality.
• Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for use in professional environments where clean, interference-free power is critical for achieving optimal sound production and accuracy.
• Home Theater Systems: Perfect for home theater enthusiasts looking to improve power delivery to projectors, high-definition TVs, and home audio systems, ensuring enhanced picture and sound quality.

The Furutech FI-E46 NCF(G) High-End Performance Schuko Connector is designed to provide clean, stable, and interference-free power to high-performance audio and video systems.

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.
