Know before you buy
The α-OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) conductors are processed to minimize crystal boundaries, which allows for a more efficient and cleaner signal transfer compared to standard copper wiring. This results in improved clarity and reduced signal degradation for your audio components.
The GC-303 material is integrated into the cable to absorb and dissipate electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can introduce noise into your power supply. By shielding the signal from this external interference, the cable helps maintain a lower noise floor for your system.
Yes, the Furutech Power Reference III uses standard IEC and NEMA-style connectors, making it compatible with most high-end audio equipment and standard household power outlets.
Despite its high-end construction, the cable features a flexible vinyl sheath that makes it relatively easy to route through tight spaces. While it is robust, it remains manageable enough to accommodate the bends required for most standard equipment setups.
A 1.8-meter length is considered the industry standard for high-end power cables, providing enough slack to reach from a wall outlet or power conditioner to your component without creating excessive, cluttered cable loops that can pick up interference.
