FI-46 NCF (G) AC Connector Pair by Furutech

The Furutech FI-46 NCF and FI-48 NCF are high-performance AC connectors used in the Jaguar reference system for power cables. Offering performance nearly identical to the premium FI-50 NCF at a more accessible price, these connectors provide exceptional electrical and sonic quality. The covers are simpler than the FI-50 NCF, but the core performance remains the same.

Sonic Characteristics:

• Gold-plated connectors: warm, full-bodied midrange.
• Rhodium-plated connectors: fast, lean, and high-frequency focused. Many audiophiles, including Jaguar, combine gold and rhodium connectors to achieve the optimal balance for each component.

Advanced NCF Technology

These connectors feature Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF), a proprietary Furutech material with two active properties:

• Generates negative ions to reduce static.
• Converts thermal energy into far-infrared energy for improved stability.

NCF also incorporates nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder to provide superior piezoelectric damping, reducing vibrations and improving overall signal integrity.

Magnetic Floating Field Damping

Electrical current naturally creates magnetic and electrostatic fields around connectors and cables. Small metal parts in standard connectors can generate “floating” magnetic fields that interfere with the main field, causing noise and distortion.

Furutech’s Floating Field Damper addresses this by star-grounding all metal parts, safely shunting stray currents to ground. The result is ultra-clean, stable power transfer with significantly reduced noise and distortion—improving clarity and performance across your system.

These connectors are a highly effective, cost-conscious upgrade for anyone seeking cleaner, more detailed power delivery in a high-end audio setup.
