Power rail Cardas wiring, Furutech schuko connectors

The power strip (Cardas wiring, Furutech Schuko connectors) is a passive mains distributor intended for audiophile systems that require mechanically stable and electrically reliable power distribution. The focus is on low contact resistance, quality wiring and proper grounding to reduce network noise.

Technical characteristics

• Category: passive power strip / distributor (without active regulation and regeneration)
• Internal wiring: Cardas, high-quality multi-wire copper wiring, geometry with careful grounding (star-ground)
• Connectors: Furutech Schuko (sockets and input plug), solid clamp, non-magnetic materials
• Voltage compatibility: 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (EU standard)
• Maximum load: up to 16 A (according to Schuko installation and built-in conductors; the limit also depends on the fuse)
• Protection: passive construction; without surge varistors and without active filter stages (unless otherwise specified)
• EMI/RFI: mechanically and geometrically optimized separation to reduce interference; without declared dB attenuation
• THD: not applicable (the power distributor does not introduce non-linear distortions to the audio signal)

Sound characteristics

Objectively, quality wiring and premium connectors contribute to lower contact resistance and more stable grounding, which in practice results in lower background noise, better micro-dynamics and cleaner transients. It does not change the tonal balance, but improves the coherence and stability of the scene if the rest of the system is sensitive to the network environment.

Compatibility and application

Recommended for sources (DAC, streamer, CD), preamplifiers and turntable sections; it can also be used with power amplifiers that do not exceed the available current budget (up to 16 A). Ideal in systems where reliable contacts and proper mass management are important.

Condition and maintenance

Condition: used, excellent. Aesthetically very well preserved, mechanically solid, sockets without air. Passive construction without the need for servicing; it is recommended to periodically clean the contacts with a suitable agent for long-term stability.
