Furutech CF-202 Banana Connector (Pair)

Furutech Banana Connectors are made of copper subjected to the Alpha process and coated with a layer of rhodium. Fasten the cable with screws or soldering. The maximum diameter of the guide - 5.5 mm

“One last comment has to go to the finish of the connectors … Tolerances are spot on, the stuff goes in smoothly, locks and unlocks without any undue play … There's something luxurious and silken about the Furutech connectors. Like fine Swiss watches. This stuff also routes and drapes easily. … Since it does perform to a very high standard, getting the tactile satisfaction and pride of ownership bits thrown into the bargain is worth mentioning.

Features (NCF)

• α (Alpha) Pure Copper rhodium-plated one-piece center conductor.
• NCF damping ring for the Pin is formed with a multi compound resin. This resin incorporates Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional “Piezo Effect” damping properties. As well as Furutech’s NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) which eliminates static, “interconverts” thermal, mechanical, and electrical energy and damps vibrations. 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.
