This results in minimal power loss, ensuring clean and efficient power transmission to connected audio and video components.
• Floating Field Damper System: Furutech integrates its Floating Field Damper System to reduce mechanical and electrical distortion, ensuring a cleaner and more stable power signal. This system minimizes unwanted vibrations and interference that could affect the performance of sensitive equipment.
• Non-Magnetic Stainless-Steel Housing: The non-magnetic stainless-steel body reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical resonance, ensuring the integrity of the power signal. This contributes to clearer sound and more accurate video performance in high-end systems.
• High-Performance Schuko Design: The Schuko connector is commonly used in Europe and ensures a secure, stable connection for Schuko power plugs. The FI-E50(R) offers a tight, reliable fit that guarantees consistent power delivery to high-performance audio and video systems.

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 with minimal signal degradation. This cleaner power leads to enhanced system performance with clearer sound, better dynamics, and improved video clarity.
• Reduced Noise and Interference: The Floating Field Damper System and non-magnetic stainless-steel construction minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical vibrations. This ensures a cleaner power signal that improves the sound and video quality of connected devices by reducing noise and distortion.
• Long-Term Durability: The rhodium-plated contacts offer excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance even under frequent or continuous use. The robust construction of the FI-E50(R) further enhances its durability in demanding environments.
• Enhanced Audio and Video Performance: With stable, interference-free power delivery, the FI-E50(R) enhances the overall performance of high-end audio and video systems, providing clearer sound, improved soundstage, and more accurate visual performance.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Audio Systems: Perfect for audiophiles seeking to deliver clean, stable power to high-performance components such as amplifiers, DACs, preamps, and high-fidelity speakers for optimal sound quality.
• Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for use in professional recording studios and environments where clean, interference-free power is critical for achieving accurate sound production and clarity.
• Home Theater Systems: Ideal for home theater setups where delivering stable power to projectors, high-definition TVs, and home audio systems ensures improved picture and sound quality.

FEATURES
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.
