Know before you buy
The CF-7254 is designed to fit cables with an outer diameter of up to 5.0mm. Please ensure your cable thickness falls within this range to ensure a proper fit with the housing.
Yes, this is a solder-type connector. You will need basic soldering skills and equipment to securely attach your wires to the internal terminals.
The rhodium plating provides a highly durable, nonmagnetic surface that resists corrosion and oxidation. By combining alpha hybrid copper and SUS, the pin maintains excellent signal conductivity while offering the structural rigidity needed for frequent use.
The carbon fiber and stainless steel housing serves as a damping mechanism. It helps minimize mechanical vibrations and resonance that can interfere with signal integrity, resulting in a cleaner, more stable audio connection.
Absolutely. The use of audio-grade P.P. resin insulation and nonmagnetic materials is specifically engineered to reduce impedance and signal interference, making it an excellent choice for audiophile-grade DIY cable builds.
