FURUTECH FI-E48 NCF (R) - Connettore Schuko

High-performance Schuko Power Connector made of pure Copper Rhodium plated and NCF technology for Electrical and Mechanical damping. Floating Field Damper system greatly lowers noise by reducing distortion. Maximum accepted cable diameter: 20mm

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 electricity. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this extraordinary 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. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.

The Furutech Floating Field Damper System.
Floating magnetic field damping. Current flowing through a cable and its connector creates magnetic (and electrostatic) fields around them, which build up and collapse 60 times per second in 120-V AC systems. This magnetic field induces current flow-electrical potential-into small parts such as the screws that hold the connector shell together, which must be metal for tight clamping. The current flow in these small parts actually creates "floating" magnetic fields around them and interferes with the larger surrounding magnetic field of the cable/connector, causing noise and distortion.

Furutech's floating field damper solves the biggest problem you never realized you had by star-grounding the metal parts where fluctuating magnetic fields are induced by current flow. All the various metal parts of the connector are bonded together and deflect any electrical potential generated to ground. This greatly lowers noise by reducing distortion for extremely clean and stable power transfer.
