Furutech FA-αS22 High Performance α-OCC Balanced (9mm) Interconnect Cable

Furutech FA-αS22 High Performance α-OCC Balanced Interconnect Cable delivers reference-grade signal integrity

Furutech FA-αS22 High Performance α-OCC Balanced Interconnect Cable is a precision-engineered audio cable designed to preserve signal purity across professional and high-fidelity systems. This Furutech FA-αS22 cable uses α (Alpha) OCC copper conductors formed through Furutech’s proprietary Ohno Continuous Casting process, a metallurgical method proven to minimise grain boundaries and reduce electron scattering. The result is a balanced interconnect cable that supports low distortion transmission, making it well suited to studio monitors, DAC-to-amplifier connections, and high-end balanced XLR assemblies.

Furutech FA-αS22 cable utilises α-OCC copper for superior conductivity and clarity

Furutech FA-αS22 cable incorporates high-purity oxygen-free α-OCC copper, a conductor known for its exceptionally low resistance and structural uniformity. This Furutech interconnect cable achieves a maximum conductor resistance of 13.2 Ω/km, a figure aligned with high-performance signal transfer in low-level audio applications. The α-OCC structure reduces microscopic impurities at the micron scale, which empirical studies in conductive materials link to improved signal coherence and reduced phase distortion in analogue audio transmission.

Furutech FA-αS22 cable maintains stable electrical performance across frequencies

Furutech FA-αS22 cable demonstrates tightly controlled electrical characteristics that support consistent signal behaviour. With capacitance rated at 84.1 pF/m at 1 kHz, this Furutech FA-αS22 balanced cable helps prevent high-frequency roll-off, preserving transient detail in complex recordings. Its impedance of 37.7 Ω at 10 MHz and inductance of 1.55 µH/m contribute to predictable performance in both studio-grade and audiophile setups. The insulation resistance exceeding 100 MΩ·km ensures minimal leakage, reinforcing signal integrity over extended cable runs.

Furutech FA-αS22 cable employs advanced shielding and damping architecture

Furutech FA-αS22 cable features a braided shield constructed from α conductor wire, which provides effective electromagnetic interference rejection. This Furutech balanced interconnect cable integrates a stabiliser paper tape barrier layer and audio-grade damping cotton filler, both of which reduce mechanical resonance and microphonic noise. The inclusion of carbon-infused flexible PVC in the inner sheath further suppresses vibration-induced artefacts, a design approach grounded in vibration control principles used in precision audio engineering.

Furutech FA-αS22 cable uses precision-twisted pair geometry for balanced transmission

Furutech FA-αS22 cable adopts a two-core twisted configuration, a geometry widely recognised in balanced audio systems for its ability to cancel common-mode noise. Each conductor consists of 60 strands of 0.18 mm α-OCC copper, forming a flexible yet robust signal path. This twisted pair structure enhances noise rejection in environments with high electromagnetic activity, such as recording studios or rack-mounted AV systems.

Furutech FA-αS22 cable integrates durable audio-grade insulation and flexible construction

Furutech FA-αS22 cable incorporates audio-grade polypropylene insulation in distinct red and white channels, ensuring clear polarity identification during installation. The outer sheath, finished in a distinctive purple-blue flexible PVC, provides durability while maintaining pliability for routing in tight spaces. With an overall diameter of approximately 9.0 mm, this Furutech FA-αS22 interconnect cable balances mechanical strength with installation versatility, making it suitable for custom cable builds or professional audio integration.

Furutech FA-αS22 cable supports custom installations with per metre and 50 metre roll options

Furutech FA-αS22 cable is available by the metre or as a 50 metre roll, allowing system builders, audio engineers, and enthusiasts to tailor cable lengths for specific configurations. This Furutech FA-αS22 high-performance interconnect cable adapts to bespoke XLR terminations, patch bay wiring, and balanced line-level connections, supporting a wide range of professional and domestic audio applications where precision and reliability matter.
