Piezo Ceramic Series Connectors • A Furutech First!

Furutech’s Pure Transmission FI-50 Piezo Ceramic series connector bodiesand housings feature several breakthrough construction techniques. Amultilayer nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fiber shellincorporates a special damping and insulating acetal copolymer. Furutechsettled on stainless and carbon fiber for the outer housing afterextensive listening sessions with Japanese industry figures andaudiophiles.

The body of the connectors combines two “active” materials: Nano-sizedceramic particles and powdered carbon. (Only nano-sized ceramicparticles effectively couples with carbon powder.) Nylon and fiberglassare incorporated as well forming an extremely effective, well damped,mechanically and electrically nonresonant connector body. That’scorrect, they’re electrically damped as well.

Piezoelectric effects are the key. Furutech’s breakthrough in design andmaterials is based on employing nano-sized polycrystallineferroelectric ceramic particles exhibiting electro-generativeproperties; mechanical pressure creates an electrical charge forming abridge between electrical and mechanical oscillation.

Carbon powder exhibits thermal-conductive characteristics that interactwith the charged ferro-ceramic particles converting their energy intoheat that’s conducted away and released from the surface of theconnector body!

These carefully chosen and tested “active” materials mechanically andelectrically damp the connector and receptacle as they “interconvert”thermal, mechanical, and electrical energy for the finest Furutech PureTransmission signal imaginable.
