Furutech FP-108(R) Enhances Signal Purity with Precision RCA Engineering
Furutech FP-108(R) RCA connectors are high-fidelity, precision-machined terminations that exemplify the brand’s Pure Transmission philosophy. These premium connectors are engineered to deliver uncompromising audio signal integrity by eliminating common transmission issues such as contact resistance, signal degradation, and electromagnetic interference. Designed for discerning audiophiles and professional system integrators, the FP-108(R) provides a mechanical and electrical interface that maximises clarity, resolution, and transparency across all analogue signal paths.
FP-108(R) Uses Rhodium-Plated α (Alpha) OCC for Maximum Signal Integrity
The Furutech FP-108(R) centre conductor is crafted from α (Alpha) OCC copper and plated with rhodium, a metal prized for its extreme hardness, corrosion resistance, and exceptional conductivity. The α (Alpha) process, which includes cryogenic treatment and demagnetisation, enhances the crystalline structure of the copper, reducing micro-impurities that typically cause signal distortion. Rhodium’s inert surface also minimises oxidation, ensuring long-term performance consistency and low contact resistance. These attributes allow the FP-108(R) to transmit ultra-low-level signals with pristine detail, making it ideal for interconnect applications in high-resolution analogue systems.
FP-108(R) Features Locking Housing for Secure Mechanical Coupling
Furutech FP-108(R) employs a copper alloy body and locking mechanism, ensuring a solid, vibration-damped connection between cable and component. The black-painted housing not only provides a sophisticated aesthetic but also adds a degree of mechanical shielding. The set-screw termination method ensures a stable, gas-tight connection with reduced strain on the conductor, making installation both secure and repeatable. This design eliminates the typical looseness found in standard RCA plugs and offers a superior fit on high-tolerance RCA jacks, which is especially important in studio-grade or high-end home audio systems.
FP-108(R) Is Built with Fluoropolymer Insulation for Exceptional Dielectric Performance
The FP-108(R) integrates high-performance fluoropolymer dielectric insulation around the centre conductor, significantly reducing dielectric absorption and signal smearing. This inert, low-permittivity material helps preserve the purity of the transmitted signal by maintaining a linear capacitive load across the audio bandwidth. This feature is critical when working with wideband analogue signals, as it maintains tonal balance and phase coherence—qualities audiophiles and mastering engineers prioritise in system voicing and reference listening environments.
FP-108(R) Accommodates Large-Diameter Cables for Custom Applications
Furutech FP-108(R) RCA connectors support cables with outer diameters up to 9.3mm, making them highly compatible with today’s audiophile-grade interconnects, many of which use multi-layer shielding or large-gauge conductors. The 54mm overall length and 13.8mm housing diameter offer ample clearance and internal space for precise cable dressing and termination, even with complex geometries or braided shielding designs. This flexibility is essential for custom cable builders or audio professionals looking to maintain signal fidelity in demanding environments.
FP-108(R) Is Part of Furutech’s Pure Transmission Range for High-Resolution Audio Systems
The FP-108(R) belongs to Furutech’s broader Pure Transmission Series, a line known for its meticulous attention to materials science and engineering precision. Each connector in the series is developed to eliminate bottlenecks in signal flow by focusing on every mechanical and electrical interface. In the FP-108(R), this manifests in a low-mass, resonance-controlled design that resists vibrational energy, electrical noise, and grounding anomalies. For systems where the sonic character of each component must be preserved, these RCA connectors serve as a critical point of continuity, not compromise.
FP-108(R) Meets Audiophile Demands for Reliability and Sonic Neutrality
Furutech FP-108(R) is engineered to offer tonal neutrality and system transparency, making it suitable for high-end stereo, home theatre, and reference studio environments. The rhodium-plated contacts do not impose a signature sound but instead maintain the source's character with minimal editorialising. Combined with robust physical construction and precision-machined tolerances, these RCA connectors deliver consistent performance even in mechanically challenging or thermally variable setups. Whether used in custom interconnects, analogue signal paths, or component upgrades, the FP-108(R) ensures a noise-free, interference-resistant signal connection that supports today’s most demanding high-fidelity audio applications.
