Reference Class Alpha-OCC Multi-stranded Copper Digital Coaxial Cable XLR. 10.5m dia 1.2mx1

RATING

1.2M

Type: Hyper-Coaxial Interconnects

All metallic parts are treated with the

*FURUTECH αAlpha Process Super Cryogenic & Demagnetizing Treatment

FEATURES

Top of the line double-shielded α Alpha-OCC conductor interconnects, power cords and digital cables featuring extraordinary build quality and Formula GC-303 antimagnetic EMI-absorbent modules surrounding the cable offering greater resolution, more powerful dynamics, and virtuoso performances from all your components. All connectors are rhodium-plated for optimal signal transfer.

” Furutech might rightly be thought of as WBT’s elder Japanese brother. Elder and bigger … Shielding from and against noise pollution in cables has become more important than ever – and Furutech has developed a very powerful yet elegant antidote … Bravo.”

• Double-shielded α Alpha-OCC Conductors eliminate radiated noise
• Formula GC-303 Antimagnetic EMI-Absorbent Modules surround each cable
• High performance beautifully engineered rhodium-plated connectors [RCA FP-106 R] or BNC [FP-3-117 R] transfer signal without reflections for extremely low jitter performance
• Center filament pin [FP-106 R] a high-contact work of engineering art composed of nonmagnetic rhodium-plated phosphor bronze with Teflon dielectric
• RCA connector backbone composed of nonmagnetic rhodium-plated eutectic cast copper alloy with beautifully-finished nonmagnetic copper alloy outer locking shell
• BNC connectors [FP-3-117 R] characteristic impedance 75 ± 5Ω
• Additionally shielded with special fiberglass and 0.12 mm α Alpha conductor braid
• Insulated with air-foamed HDPE reducing capacitance and damping vibration
• Results in greater resolution, clarity, powerful dynamics, and an ultra-quiet soundstage in which music develops more fully without artificial upper-frequency “presence region”glare.
• GC-303 allows a deeper, tighter bass to form a solid foundation for the rest of the frequency range, better defining the original recording’s venue. Natural, unforced detail reveals nuance and energy for an engaging musical experience.
• α Alpha Conductor Is Composed Of Fine PCOCC Wire Strands Treated With Furutech’s α Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Process

Here’s What The Critics Say

“The Furutech cable sound is easily described as one that completely avoids those peculiar striations that result from highlighting, the providence of certain silver cables that emphasize edge definition for nearly surreal image lock. Such sharp edging then becomes synonymous with etching. It gives a short-lived appearance of exceptional detail – short-lived since such sound is not only unrealistic but fatiguing.”

“The Furutech cables patently don’t cause this. However, they are exceptionally detailed. I can’t help but think that the hexagonal barrel innards [Formula GC-303 Modules] are at least somewhat responsible for this wealth of clearly intelligible inner detail. Rather than

throwing detail at you, they throw out inter-note noise. While the end result might seem the same – more detail – the way it communicates is very different. Put plainly, the Furutechs never fatigue even at elevated levels yet they do remain ultra resolved.”
