Furutech FT-211 Spade Terminals Deliver Sonic Purity Through Advanced Engineering
Furutech FT-211 Spade Terminals are precision-engineered connectors designed to maximise signal integrity while offering effortless installation. These high-performance speaker cable terminations are available in two finely crafted versions: the FT-211(R) Rhodium-Plated and the FT-211(G) 24K Gold-Plated, each tailored to deliver distinct sonic character while preserving absolute signal purity.
Furutech’s approach to the FT-211 Ethereal Spade Terminals combines low mass, resonance-free materials, and meticulous construction, resulting in an audiophile-grade connector that doesn’t just promise performance—it proves it with every note.
FT-211 Spade Terminals Use Low Mass for Maximum Signal Transfer
Furutech FT-211 spade terminals are a low-mass, low-weight solution specifically designed to reduce mechanical and electrical resonance—an essential feature for maintaining sonic integrity in high-resolution audio systems. The core element of each terminal is Furutech’s proprietary Alpha pure copper, either rhodium-plated for extended frequency clarity in the FT-211(R), or 24K gold-plated for a warmer tonal balance in the FT-211(G).
Each variation leverages the superior conductivity of Alpha copper, which undergoes a multi-stage cryogenic and demagnetisation treatment to stabilise molecular structure and eliminate internal distortions. This means less signal loss, faster transients, and improved harmonic richness.
FT-211 Terminal Housing Combines POM Resin and Piezo Ceramic for Resonance Control
Furutech FT-211 terminals are housed in a black POM resin body, selected for its rigidity and high internal damping characteristics. Surrounding this is a robust shell formed from nylon and fibreglass, infused with Piezo Ceramic damping material—a proprietary blend that actively suppresses mechanical vibrations.
This multi-material composite not only prevents unwanted resonances from clouding the signal but also maintains structural integrity under thermal and mechanical stress. By isolating the conductor from microphonic interference, the terminal enables greater clarity and spatial detail in the soundstage.
FT-211 Uses Non-Magnetic SUS Hardware and Tool-Free Termination for Ease of Use
Furutech FT-211 spade lugs incorporate non-magnetic stainless steel (SUS) set screws for termination, eliminating the eddy current distortions common in magnetic hardware. This design enhances tonal neutrality while also providing a tight, stable connection over time.
Designed for tool-free installation, the FT-211 makes it easy for audiophiles, OEM manufacturers, and DIY cable builders to implement professional-grade speaker cable terminations without the need for soldering. The set screw mechanism accommodates core diameters up to 4.5mm and insulation up to 7.8mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of high-quality speaker cables.
FT-211 Rhodium and Gold Variants Offer Two Distinct Sonic Signatures
Furutech FT-211(R) Rhodium-Plated spade terminals are ideal for high-resolution systems requiring exceptional treble extension and articulate imaging. Rhodium’s hardness and durability support ultra-precise high-frequency reproduction, appealing to listeners who prioritise analytical clarity.
By contrast, the Furutech FT-211(G) 24K Gold-Plated terminals offer a smoother, more forgiving sound, emphasising warmth and midrange liquidity. Gold’s natural resistance to corrosion ensures long-term performance and stable contact, especially in systems where tonal richness is preferred.
Both versions share the same physical dimensions—57.5mm in total length with a compact housing footprint of 18.0 x 16.0mm—allowing them to fit easily in space-constrained setups without compromising on performance.
FT-211 Spade Connectors Offer OEM-Grade Aesthetics and Durability
Furutech FT-211 speaker connectors not only perform to audiophile standards but also present a visually refined finish suitable for premium audio setups. The stainless steel end ring, polished black housing, and sleek industrial form factor give each connector a clean, high-end aesthetic.
This balance of form and function makes the FT-211 ideal for custom cable builders, professional integrators, or enthusiasts seeking to enhance both the sound and the look of their speaker systems. The terminals are available in sets of four, providing a practical solution for bi-wire or standard stereo configurations.
