Furutech FI-8.1N (G) IEC C7 Connector – Gold, Slimline, Alpha Treated

The Furutech FI-8.1N (G) is a high-grade, gold-plated IEC C7 connector, commonly known as the “figure eight” connector. It is specially designed for upgrading 2-pole devices such as Sonos systems, but is also ideal for other audio and video applications where clean and reliable power is essential. Thanks to its slim design, the FI-8.1N (G) fits easily into tight spaces, while the robust cable clamp ensures a secure and stable connection.

At its core are α (Alpha) phosphor bronze conductors with gold plating, ensuring excellent conductivity and minimal signal distortion. The body is made of durable nylon and, combined with the newly designed cable clamp, offers effective resonance control. This helps preserve sound quality and minimizes unwanted vibrations.

The Furutech FI-8.1N (G) is suitable for cables with a diameter of 5.0 mm to 10.5 mm and a maximum conductor cross-section of 2.0 mm² (14AWG). The connection is made by soldering, which guarantees a solid and reliable bond. This connector is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup with premium power connections.
