Furutech CF-602F NCF High End High Performance XLR Connector
Furutech introduces the top of the line CF-602F NCF XLR connector. This is a high performance "signal" connector from Furutech featuring the Nano Crystal² (NCF) formula. This material is the cumulative result of Furutech's 30+ year effort to eliminate electrical and mechanical resonance from signal and power transmission in high performance audio and video applications. Offering drastic noise reduction, improved imaging and focusing, and enhanced sound staging, the CF-602F NCF will take your listening enjoyment to the next level.
Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) body material and connection pins
The CF-602F NCF connector contacts are housed in a body formed from NCF liquid crystal polymer resin. The resin incorporates nylon, fiberglass, nanometer-sized crystalline piezoelectric ceramic particles, carbon powder, and Furutech's special "NCF" anti-resonance damping material. The Furutech CF-602F NCF connector also features special NCF material damping clips of the same material.
Incorporated into select Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two "active" properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts heat energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for its additional "piezoelectric effect" damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, found exclusively on Furutech products.
Furutech Two-Stage Cryogenic and Degaussing Alpha ∝ Process
Using state-of-the-art technology and materials, Furutech developed a two-stage, low-temperature process that significantly improves all facets of audio and video performance. The treatment begins during the manufacturing process with a deep and conditioning cryogenic freeze of all metal parts. Using high-end refrigerants, liquid N2 or He, Furutech reaches temperatures between -196ºC and -250ºC. The treated parts actually change their molecular structure at these temperature extremes relieving internal stress. The molecules bind more closely and the overall structure becomes more stable. This improves electrical conductivity and thus power and signal transfer.
The second step of the Alpha process exposes these same parts to the proprietary ring degaussing treatment. Ordinary high-power magnets used for this purpose often increase the magnetic effects; they leave some areas more magnetized than others. This patented process uses controlled dimming to eliminate magnetization for immediately more vivid and colorful enhancements. Ring demagnetization further improves the conductivity of all treated materials.
ALL metal parts used in Furutech products go through the Alpha Process treatment to keep all connectors, conductors and metal parts in a perfect stress-free, stable and highly conductive condition.
Furutech Pure Transmission Philosophy
Meticulous build quality is a big part of the engineering equation. Furutech Pure Transmission technology turns a macro lens into each power and signal transfer element by applying optimized engineering solutions to well-known problems such as contact resistance, EMI and RFI rejection, grounding and use of the best available materials and processes.
Characteristic:
Rhodium-plated ∝ (alpha) pure copper one-piece pin leads.
Nylon, glass fiber, nanometer-sized crystalline piezoelectric ceramic particles, carbon powder and Furutech's special "NCF" anti-resonance damping material in the main body which combine heat-resistant NCF liquid crystal polymer resin. NCF offers improvements to soundstage depth and focus, harmonics, and tonal balance. Low frequencies are cleaner, with a greater sense of definition thanks to a lower noise floor.
Special Resonance Dampening Composite Release Button: Formed with vibration resistant stainless steel powder and metal powder.
Stamped chrome-plated brass body.
NCF material damping clips.
Case: Multi-layer hybrid NCF carbon case composed of a hard clear outer layer covered with another layer of hybrid NCF silver 3k carbon fiber over a non-magnetic stainless steel case. The best damping and isolation materials improve frequency extension and tonal balance.
Lead wire fixed by grub screw or welding.
