Furutech FI-E38(G)-N1
Furutech Schuko mains connector with Alpha-treated pure copper conductors and gold-plated finish, designed for building hi-fi mains cables.
Description
The FI-E38(G)-N1 is a Schuko-standard mains connector from Furutech, designed for building or upgrading power cables for audio equipment. It is fitted on the wall socket side and replaces the original connectors, often more modest, supplied with standard mains cables.
Its distinctive feature lies in its pure copper conductors treated using the Alpha process, a treatment intended to limit irregularities in the metal's structure that can affect the transmission of the electrical signal. The finish offered on this model is gold plating, an option also available in a rhodium-plated version within the Furutech range.
This type of connector is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts wishing to improve or customise their mains cables, whether as part of a DIY build or to replace an existing connector considered inadequate. It is relevant to systems where the power supply is regarded as a fully-fledged link in the audio chain.
What to check before buying used
The shielding and insulating body deserve close inspection: a crack or excessive play at the cable clamp can compromise earthing. The pins must remain perfectly rigid and the gold plating free of oxidation marks or micro-scratches, a sign of a connector that has been disassembled too often. Also check that the internal clamping screws have not been forced during a previous installation, as this would weaken the electrical contact.
