CF-601M NCF(R) XLR Male Plug

Furutech introduces the CF-601M NCF 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-601M NCF will take your listening enjoyment to the next level.

Features:
– Rhodium-plated α(Alpha) Pure copper one-piece construction conductor pin injected with heat resistant NCF Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin.
– 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.
– 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.
– Accommodates: 14AWG (2.08 sq.mm) max. stranded wire / 12AWG (3.3 sq.mm) max solid core wire. Wire diameter 2.1mm max.

Specification:
– Specified for cable diameters up to 10.0mm
– Dimensions: 18.6mm ± 0.1mm diameter x 64.6mm ± 0.1mm overall length.
– Net Weight: 46.9g approx.

Note:
Too much torque when tightening of the screws may damage them.
Recommended torque values for tightening the screws are as follows.
Conductor wire set screws: 25cN•m (2.55kgf-cm)
Housing fixing screw: 30cN•m (3.06kgf-cm)

Please observe the following solder temperature and time to avoid damage to the insulation.
Recommended soldering operation
Temperature: Max. 425 ℃ Approx.
Time: Max. 15 secs. Approx.

Caution:
When using the set screws to secure the conductor wire, the screw should not protrude from the screw hole and make contact with the connector housing – this could cause a short circuit.
