Furutech FI-8N IEC Connector

The FI-8N is a C7 IEC connector, commonly referred to as a 'figure-eight' or 'shotgun' connector. It is specifically designed for audio components that utilize this two-pin, non-polarized power input.

Rhodium is known for its exceptional hardness and conductivity, which often results in a more detailed, transparent, and precise sound profile. While gold can sometimes add a touch of warmth, rhodium tends to offer a tighter, more articulate presentation that minimizes signal coloration.

NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) is Furutech's specialized damping material that actively eliminates electrical and mechanical resonance. By reducing these micro-vibrations and electrical noise, it helps lower the noise floor, allowing for greater clarity and a more stable soundstage in your audio system.

The FI-8N is designed to accommodate a variety of cable gauges, but it is best suited for cables that are flexible enough to be terminated into a C7 housing. Before purchasing, verify that your cable's outer diameter is compatible with the connector's internal strain relief and housing dimensions.

Yes, you will need basic soldering skills and equipment to properly terminate the wires to the connector pins. If you are not comfortable working with high-voltage power cables, it is recommended to have a professional technician handle the installation to ensure safety and performance.
