FI-48 NCF (R) AC Connector Pair by Furutech

The Furutech FI-46 NCF and FI-48 NCF connectors are trusted choices for power cables in the Jaguar reference system. Offering performance comparable to the higher-end FI-50 NCF at a more accessible price, these connectors provide outstanding electrical and sonic quality.

Connector Options & Sonic Characteristics:

• Gold-plated connectors: deliver a warm, full-bodied sound with emphasis in the midrange.
• Rhodium-plated connectors: provide a faster, leaner profile with enhanced high-frequency detail. Many audiophiles, including Jaguar, combine gold and rhodium connectors to optimize sound for each component.

Advanced NCF Technology

Furutech’s proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) incorporates a unique crystalline material with dual active properties:

1. Generates negative ions to reduce static.
2. Converts thermal energy into far-infrared energy for enhanced electrical stability.

This material, combined with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder, provides exceptional piezoelectric damping, making it one of the most effective electrical and mechanical damping solutions available in any connector.

Magnetic Floating Field Damping

Electrical current naturally generates magnetic and electrostatic fields around cables and connectors. In conventional connectors, small metal parts can create “floating” magnetic fields that interfere with the main field, introducing noise and distortion.

Furutech solves this with the Floating Field Damper, which star-grounds all metal parts to safely shunt these induced currents to ground. The result is ultra-clean, stable power transfer with significantly reduced noise and distortion.

These connectors are an excellent way to enhance the performance of your high-end system without requiring a complete power cable overhaul.
