Know before you buy
Rhodium plating provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability while maintaining high conductivity. This combination ensures a stable, long-lasting connection that preserves signal integrity without the oxidation issues common in base metals.
The FI-50M (R) is designed to accommodate cable diameters ranging from 6mm to 20mm. As long as your cable falls within this range, the patent-pending metal cable clamp will provide a secure and stable fit.
These materials are used to mechanically and electrically damp the connector body. By converting vibration and electrical noise into heat, they help minimize resonance, resulting in a cleaner, more refined signal path for your audio components.
Yes, this is a 2-pole plus earth connector designed for standard 15A 125V AC power systems. It is fully compatible with standard North American wall receptacles.
The connector uses nano-sized ceramic particles that exhibit piezoelectric properties, which convert mechanical pressure or vibration into electrical energy. This process effectively dampens unwanted resonances within the connector body, preventing them from coloring the audio signal.
You will need standard tools such as a screwdriver for the terminal screws and the cable clamp. While the installation is straightforward for those experienced with DIY audio components, ensure you are comfortable working with AC power connections or consult a professional.
