Male XLR Connector Rhodium Plated Copper NCF Alpha Treatment Ø10mm
Furutech introduces the CF-601M NCF high-end XLR connector. This is Furutech's first high-performance balanced signal connector to feature Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) material. NCF is the cumulative result of more than 30 years of work by the brand to eliminate electrical and mechanical resonance from signal and power transmission in audio and video applications. Offering noise reduction, sound image enhancement, and complete neutrality, the CF-601M NCF will allow you to design high-end audio cables to get the most out of your system and your music.
The CF-601m NCF uses a body design that incorporates NCF material. This resin contains nylon, fiberglass, piezoelectric ceramic particles, carbon powder to make the ultimate damping material. This is injected into the rhodium-plated copper contacts and treated α (alpha).
Used in some Furutech products, NCF is a special crystalline material with "active" properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static electricity. Secondly, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this material with nanometric ceramic particles and carbon powder for their piezoelectric damping properties.
Using state-of-the-art technology and materials, Furutech has developed a two-step process that significantly improves the performance of the conductive material. The treatment starts during the manufacturing process with a deep cryogenic step of all metal parts. Using refrigerants such as liquid N2 or He, Furutech reaches temperatures between -196°C and -250°C. The treated parts change their molecular structure, relieving internal stresses. The molecules bond more tightly together, and the overall structure becomes more stable. This results in improved electrical conductivity for better signal transmission.
The second step of the process exposes these same parts to the patented demagnetization treatment, optimized to act on the entire material and further improve conductivity.
