NCF Ceramic Piezo Series Connectors - A Furutech First!
Furutech's Pure Transmission FI-50 NCF series Piezo Ceramic connector bodies and housings feature several revolutionary construction techniques.
A non-magnetic, multilayer plated stainless steel fiber shell incorporates a special damping and insulating acetal copolymer. Furutech opted for stainless steel and silver carbon fiber for the outer shell after extensive listening sessions with Japanese industry figures and audiophiles.

The connector body incorporates an "active" damping material: Nano Crystal² Formula - Nano crystalline, ceramic and carbon powder
Incorporated in selected Furutech products, Nano Crystal² Formula --- NCF consists of a special crystalline material that has two "active" properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate electrostatic charges, and second, it converts thermal energy to far infrared. Furutech then combines this extraordinary crystalline material with nanometer-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 found only in Furutech products!
The Nano Crystal² Formula eliminates static vibrations, "interconverts" of thermal, mechanical and electrical energy and dampens vibrations, all for the best Furutech Pure Transmission signal imaginable.

Floating magnetic effects in the field
The Furutech Earth / Ground Jumper System
How far will Furutech's engineers go in their attempts to achieve the benchmark quality of Pure Transmission? Their concentrated examination of every single element of signal transfer has led to another revolutionary technology, the Furutech Earth / Ground Jumper System. It eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI) induced in metal parts such as connector housing screws.

The current flowing through the power connector creates a magnetic field, just as an insulated conductor creates electromagnetic and electrostatic fields. Furutech engineers found that this magnetic field induces current flow (and a small magnetic field) in the screws that hold the connector together! These magnetic fields interfere with the larger magnetic field around the conductor and connector.

Furutech's total attention to detail and elegant engineering solve the problem perfectly. The ground/earth jumper system connects the attachment screws to a grounding terminal inside the receptacle, completely eliminating the field disturbances they cause. Stray fields are grounded by a series of interlocking parts inside the connector that connects to the grounding conductor. The Jumper System is available in Furutech NEMA Power and IEC connectors. The earth/ground jumper system carries U.S. Patent No. 6,669,491
