Furutech FT-SWS-D NCF(R) High End Performance Duplex Schuko Wall Socket

Description

The Furutech FT-SWS-D NCF(R) High-End Performance Duplex Schuko Wall Socket is a premium-grade power socket designed to deliver clean, stable, and noise-free power to high-performance audio and video systems. Featuring Furutech’s advanced materials and cutting-edge technology, this duplex Schuko socket is an excellent choice for audiophiles and professionals who demand the highest level of power delivery for their systems. The inclusion of Furutech’s proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology makes this socket particularly effective in reducing electrical noise and resonance, improving both sound and video quality. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and benefits:

• Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF): The FT-SWS-D NCF(R) incorporates Furutech’s proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF), an advanced material that combines nano-sized crystalline, ceramic particles, and carbon powder. This innovative technology generates negative ions to eliminate static while converting thermal and mechanical energy into infrared energy, significantly reducing electrical noise and resonance.
• Rhodium-Plated Conductors: The contacts are rhodium-plated, ensuring superior conductivity and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Rhodium provides stable, high-quality power transfer over time, making it ideal for long-term use in high-end audio and video systems.
• Duplex Schuko Design: The duplex Schuko socket provides two Schuko outlets, allowing you to connect multiple devices to a single wall socket. This design ensures a secure and stable connection with Schuko plugs, widely used in European countries, for consistent power delivery.
• Non-Magnetic Stainless-Steel Housing: The socket’s body is constructed from non-magnetic stainless steel, which reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical resonance. This design contributes to a purer and more stable electrical signal, reducing the risk of distortion in the power supply.
• High-Purity α (Alpha) Copper Conductors: The internal conductors are made from α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper, known for its superior purity and conductivity. This ensures minimal energy loss and clean, uninterrupted power delivery, which is crucial for maintaining the performance of sensitive audio and video components.
• Floating Field Damper System: Furutech’s Floating Field Damper System minimizes mechanical and electrical distortion, providing a stable and interference-free power signal to connected devices. This system helps further reduce noise and enhances the overall quality of the power being delivered.

Performance Benefits:

• Improved Sound and Video Quality: The combination of NCF technology, rhodium-plated contacts, and high-purity copper conductors ensures a clean, stable power supply that minimizes electrical noise and interference. This results in clearer, more detailed sound reproduction and enhanced video quality, with deeper colors and sharper contrast.
• Reduced Noise and Interference: The Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) and Floating Field Damper System effectively reduce electrical noise and resonance, while the non-magnetic stainless-steel housing minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI). Together, these features deliver a cleaner power signal, leading to improved soundstage, detail, and clarity in audio, and sharper, more vivid images in video.
• Long-Term Durability: The rhodium-plated contacts offer excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, ensuring that the socket maintains its performance and conductivity over time, even in demanding environments.
• Stable and Secure Connection: The duplex Schuko design provides a secure and tight connection for Schuko plugs, preventing disconnections and ensuring consistent power delivery to high-end audio and video equipment.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Audio Systems: Perfect for audiophiles who want to achieve the best possible sound quality by delivering clean, stable power to sensitive audio equipment, such as amplifiers, preamps, and DACs.
• Professional Audio Studios: Suitable for recording studios and other professional audio environments where noise-free and stable power delivery is essential for maintaining high sound quality.
• Home Theater Systems: Ideal for video enthusiasts who want to optimize their home theater setups by ensuring clean, interference-free power for projectors, high-definition TVs, and audio systems, resulting in enhanced picture and sound quality.

The Furutech FT-SWS-D NCF(R) High-End Performance Duplex Schuko Wall Socket is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their power delivery system and achieve superior audio and video performance. With advanced Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology, rhodium-plated contacts, and high-purity α (Alpha) copper conductors, this duplex Schuko socket delivers clean, stable, and noise-free power. Whether you’re optimizing a high-end audio system, professional studio equipment, or a premium home theater setup, the FT-SWS-D NCF(R) provides exceptional performance, making it a valuable investment for audiophiles and professionals.

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.
