FURUTECH FI-52-N1 (R) Mains IEC 16a Connector,Carbon Body,Pure Coppper Conductor NCF/N1 piezo electric enhancement of signal NEW with BOXBought from an authorised Furutech dealer in Europe One of the best IECs available! PLEASE NOTE THIS IS IEC 16A HIGH CURRENT VERSION (rectangular shaped connnection) This has NCF piezo electric enhancement,First branded as N1 Enhanced Rhodium plating.which sounds better and is more durable than the standard furutech iec plugs where the conductor plating gets scratched after fewer times plugging in and out This connector body features 2 levels of passive NCF advanced electrical signal enhancement called N1 before now being branded as NCF with further enhancement Advanced Vibration control carbon fibre damped connector body with stanless steel to shield against EMI/RFI Pure copper conductor for pins and terminals 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.Rating Type: 2-pole+earth Rated: 16A/250V Features * High End Performance 20A IEC Connectors * a (Alpha) Pure Copper Rhodium plated Conductor * Earth (Ground) Jumper System * Nylon/fiberglass *stainless steel carbon fibre shell *piezo ceramic powder carbon body material delivery is tracked and insured
