Piezo Ceramic Series Connectors • A Furutech First!
Furutech’s Pure Transmission FI-50 Piezo Ceramic series connector
bodies and housings feature several breakthrough construction
techniques. A multilayer nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fiber
shell incorporates a special damping and insulating acetal copolymer.
Furutech settled on stainless and carbon fiber for the outer housing
after extensive listening sessions with Japanese industry figures and
audiophiles.
The body of the connectors combines two “active” materials: Nano-sized
ceramic particles and powdered carbon. (Only nano-sized ceramic
particles effectively couples with carbon powder.) Nylon and fiberglass
are incorporated as well forming an extremely effective, well damped,
mechanically and electrically nonresonant connector body. That’s
correct, they’re electrically damped as well.
Piezoelectric effects are the key. Furutech’s breakthrough in design
and materials is based on employing nano-sized polycrystalline
ferroelectric ceramic particles exhibiting electro-generative
properties; mechanical pressure creates an electrical charge forming a
bridge between electrical and mechanical oscillation.
Carbon powder exhibits thermal-conductive characteristics that interact
with the charged ferro-ceramic particles converting their energy into
heat that’s conducted away and released from the surface of the
connector body!
These carefully chosen and tested “active” materials mechanically and
electrically damp the connector and receptacle as they “interconvert”
thermal, mechanical, and electrical energy for the finest Furutech Pure
Transmission signal imaginable.
