Item Code:
– CF-602F NCF(R) : Female XLR, Rhodium-Plated, NCF material

Features:

Furutech introduces the CF-602F NCF(R) top-of-the-line XLR connector. This is Furutech’s first high-performance balanced signal connector to feature Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF). This material is the cumulative result of Furutech’s 30 plus year effort to eliminate electrical and mechanical resonance from signal and power transmission in high performance audio and video applications. Offering a dramatic reduction in noise, improved imaging, and focus, and improved sound staging, the CF-602F NCF(R) will take your listening enjoyment to the next level.

Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) Body material and injected conductor pins
The CF-602F NCF(R) features a body formed with NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin. The resin incorporates nylon, fiberglass, nano-sized crystalline piezo ceramic particles, carbon powder and Furutech special “NCF” anti-resonance damping material. The same special NCF damping material is injected into the CF-602F NCF’s rhodium-plated α (Alpha) Pure copper one-piece construction conductor pins – true innovation!
Incorporated into selected Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.

Features
• Rhodium-plated α (Alpha) Pure copper one-piece construction conductors.
• Nylon, fiberglass, nano-sized crystalline piezo ceramic particles, carbon powder and Furutech special “NCF” anti-resonance damping material main body combine heat resistant NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin. NCF delivers improvements in the depth and focus of the sound stage, harmonics and tonal balance. Low frequencies are cleaner, with a greater sense of definition made possible by a lowered noise floor.
• Special resonance damping composite release button – formed with stainless steel powder and vibration resistant metal powder.
• Chrome-plated brass stamped housing.
• NCF material damping clips
• Housing: Multilayer hybrid NCF carbon housing composed of an outer hard clear coat over with another layer of Hybrid NCF Silver plated 3k carbon fiber on a nonmagnetic stainless-steel Housing. The best of damping and insulation materials improve frequency extension and tonal balance.
• Conductor wire fixed by set screw or soldering.
• Specified for cable diameters max. 10.0mm.
• Accommodates: 13AWG (2.62 sq.mm) max. stranded wire / 12AWG (3.3 sq.mm) max solid core wire. Wire diameter 2.4mm max.

… “I salute Furutech’s engineers for the grind of overhauling the legacy XLR plug and endowing it with their proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula a. Isn’t it amazing that solely for our playback entertainment, their engineers would labour over creating a better connector? I do believe that they did just that, exactly.
… “For decades already, Furutech connectors have been the choice of the most prestigious high-end cable brands. From the same firm now comes and even better XLR and RCA plug. That’s cause for applause; and a humble thank you!”—- Srajan Ebaen of 6moons.com
