Furutech Origin Power-NCF/AU Delivers High-Fidelity Performance with NCF-Enhanced Engineering
Furutech Origin Power-NCF/AU Power Cord (AU > IEC) is a high-performance 1.8m audio-grade power cable designed to deliver exceptionally clean, stable, and noise-free power transmission for high-end audio systems. Developed under the renowned Furutech Origin Series, this cable combines the brand’s advanced Pure Transmission engineering principles with its patented NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) technology to eliminate noise, vibration, and signal degradation at the source.
The Furutech FI-AU and FI-28 NCF (R) terminations anchor the cable with an uncompromising mechanical and electrical connection. Both connectors are fitted with rhodium-plated, non-magnetic pure copper contacts and are precision-machined to ensure tight, stable interfaces. The combination of α (Alpha) μ-OFC conductors, special internal damping techniques, and anti-static sheathing materials delivers a power delivery system built to support and elevate the dynamic range, tonal purity, and spatial clarity demanded by audiophiles and studio professionals alike.
Origin Power-NCF/AU Enhances Signal Integrity with Pure Transmission Conductors
Furutech Origin Power-NCF/AU power cable is engineered with high-purity α (Alpha) μ-OFC conductors, each comprising seven bundled groups of 35 strands of 0.18mm wire — resulting in an aggregate conductor size close to 9AWG. This conductor architecture ensures ultra-low resistance and stable current flow, maintaining signal integrity across high-performance amplifiers, DACs, preamps, or power conditioners.
The Pure Transmission concept maximises conductivity while eliminating signal smearing. The inner polyethylene insulation provides excellent dielectric properties, reducing capacitive load while improving mechanical damping. Each conductor is treated using Furutech’s Alpha Process, which includes cryogenic freezing and demagnetisation to enhance molecular alignment and electrical characteristics. This process mitigates micro-arcing and preserves the fidelity of current transmission, translating into heightened transient response and lower perceived background noise.
Furutech’s NCF-Integrated Terminations Reduce Noise and Vibration Intrusion
Furutech FI-AU and FI-28 NCF(R) terminations are integral to the cable’s sonic performance, incorporating the brand’s proprietary NCF material — a hybrid crystalline composite designed to absorb mechanical vibrations, suppress electrostatic charge, and reduce airborne EMI/RFI contamination. The result is a power delivery path that neutralises common distortions introduced by AC mains.
The NCF-enhanced connectors are built with a robust multi-layer body structure. The combination of anti-resonance damping and non-magnetic materials preserves low-frequency solidity while preventing the artificial brightness often introduced by lesser-grade power cables. These high-integrity terminations secure tighter coupling to both wall sockets and equipment IEC inlets, resulting in reduced contact resistance and improved electrical stability across demanding setups.
Origin Series Construction Reinforces Vibration Control and EMI Shielding
Furutech Origin Series cable architecture is defined by its multi-layered construction aimed at damping both structural and electromagnetic disturbances. The core conductors are enclosed in triple-layer sheathing: an internal NCF-blended PVC jacket with carbon compound to resist static build-up, a braided α (Alpha) μ-OFC shield to block high-frequency interference, and a final dual-layer outer sheath composed of RoHS-compliant vibration-damping PVC and a braided nylon yarn for additional mechanical insulation and abrasion resistance.
By addressing both electromagnetic interference and structural vibration at multiple stages of the cable design, the Origin Power-NCF/AU maintains exceptional sonic accuracy. Dynamics are preserved, midrange textures remain natural, and the upper registers are free from excessive energy or glare.
Ground/Earth Jumper System Provides Electromagnetic Stability
Furutech’s patented Ground/Earth Jumper Technology is a key innovation that sets this cable apart from standard audiophile power cords. This design grounds the electromagnetic potential created at high-stress points — especially where cables bend or connect — by using a copper plate that contacts internal mounting screws. This internal grounding approach dissipates electromagnetic radiation effectively, reducing vibrational artefacts that can cloud detail and imaging.
As a result, the cable promotes a more refined soundstage and increased clarity, especially noticeable during complex orchestral passages or high-resolution vocal tracks. The effect is both measurable and audible — tighter bass, more controlled midrange, and a delicate, undistorted treble.
Origin Power-NCF/AU Offers Resilient Flexibility and Long-Term Reliability
Furutech Origin Power-NCF/AU combines mechanical strength with flexibility by incorporating ultra-flexible, RoHS-compliant PVC jackets throughout its structure. These sheaths protect the cable’s internal geometry against compression or twisting without sacrificing pliability. Despite its robust 18.0mm outer diameter, the cable remains manoeuvrable enough for high-density setups or tight spaces behind audio racks.
This design choice ensures not only easier installation but also prolonged reliability, making the cable ideal for both fixed hi-fi installations and professional audio environments that require equipment reconfiguration. The multi-layer insulation system, including polyethylene dielectric and carbon-loaded PVC, also resists heat, ensuring safe long-term operation even under continuous high-current loads.
Audiophile-Grade Performance for Demanding Power Applications
Furutech Origin Power-NCF/AU is tailored for high-current, low-noise audio performance, making it suitable for power amplifiers, digital sources, integrated systems, and AC filtration units. By providing superior conductivity, noise rejection, and structural damping, the cable acts as a neutral conduit that supports — rather than colours — the sonic characteristics of the connected gear.
Whether deployed in a critical listening room or a mastering studio, the Origin Power-NCF/AU offers an immediate uplift in system resolution, transient precision, and tonal coherence. Listeners experience enhanced micro-dynamics, richer harmonic structure, and a notably quieter background, creating space for the music to breathe without artificial bloom or edge.
The 1.8m length ensures practical flexibility without excessive cable mass, making it an optimal choice for premium Australian mains setups using AU > IEC connections.
