Furutech FI-8N NCF(R) high-end IEC C7/figure-8 connector with rhodium-plated α contacts and NCF technology for a stable, reliable power connection in premium audio systems. Read more.
The Furutech FI-8N NCF(R) is a premium IEC C7, also known as a figure-8, cable connector designed for demanding music lovers and audiophiles building or upgrading high-quality power cables.
This NCF version combines rhodium-plated α (Alpha) conductors with Furutech's advanced Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology and a mechanically robust construction. It is designed for equipment using a two-pole IEC C7 power inlet.
Furutech's specially developed female conductor design uses α (Alpha) beryllium copper and phosphor bronze conductors with rhodium-plated contact surfaces.
In addition to conductor materials, Furutech places considerable emphasis on contact stability, mechanical integrity and precise manufacturing, making the FI-8N NCF(R) particularly suitable for premium DIY and upgrade power cables.
A defining feature of the FI-8N NCF(R) is Furutech's proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula. According to Furutech, NCF combines a special crystalline material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon.
The material is designed to help control electrostatic effects and mechanical resonance within the connector. This allows Furutech to address both the electrical and mechanical environment surrounding the power connection.
The Furutech FI-8N NCF(R) accommodates power cables with an outer diameter of 6.0 to 13.0 mm. Solid-core conductors up to 2.4 mm diameter can be used, while stranded conductors can have a maximum cross-section of 2.0 mm² / 14 AWG.
Electrical connections are secured by set screws, eliminating the need for soldering and allowing a strong connection when installed correctly.
The connector uses a nylon/fiberglass construction incorporating Furutech's special NCF damping material. Overall dimensions are approximately 36.8 × 28.2 × 71.0 mm.
The FI-8N NCF(R) is rated at 7A / 125V and 2.5A / 250V AC.
Furutech is a renowned Japanese manufacturer of high-quality connectors, power products, cables and accessories for high-end audio systems.
Furutech's product philosophy centres on Pure Transmission. Through carefully selected materials, precision manufacturing and proprietary technologies including the Alpha Process and Nano Crystal² Formula, the company focuses on optimising the electrical and mechanical properties of connections throughout an audio system.
