Furutech FPX High Performance US Duplex Receptacle - Rhodium

 

The Furutech FPX Rhodium is a two-outlet NEMA wall receptacle for US-wired mains systems, rated at 15A/20A on a 125V supply. It takes US NEMA plugs, not UK ones, so it is for US electrical installations, US-specification power distributors and power boxes built to US wiring practice. Its blade receivers are non-magnetic Alpha phosphor bronze, 0.8mm thick, plated with rhodium using the newer plating technique Furutech introduced for the FPX series, which they say improves both the sound and the durability of the finish. Furutech also make the FPX in gold-plated and non-plated copper versions.

Furutech's pin insert construction gives each outlet a larger contact area and a very tight grip, and the electrodes are rounded rather than sharp-edged, so they won't scratch or mark the plating on your plug blades. The electrodes are built to the 20A pattern and also accept 15A plugs. Set-screw terminals take wire from 10 AWG to 24 AWG, with a wire connection that Furutech say has over 17% more contact area. The body is nylon and glass fibre with a white polycarbonate cover, the main metal parts go through Furutech's Alpha cryogenic and electromagnetic treatment, and every model is cUL approved. As with any mains wiring, fitting should be left to a qualified electrician.

The FPX is the simpler of the two Furutech US duplex receptacles we list. The Furutech GTX-D High End Performance US Duplex Receptacle - Rhodium uses pure copper conductors sprung by a separate stainless steel spring, a body damped with ceramic and carbon powders and a 2mm stainless steel brace plate, and it is wider at 47.2mm. The FPX on this page uses springy phosphor bronze conductors that need no separate spring, in a nylon and glass fibre body 104.2mm long and 33.5mm wide. Both take US NEMA plugs and both are rated at 20A on a 125V supply.

 

What Furutech say about the FPX

The new FPX series feature a new plating technique which delivers sonic improvements and a more durable finish. Also Unique to the FPX series is a pin insert construction that ensures increased contact areas, stable transmission and the tightest contacts in the Audio industry and they won’t scratch or mark the plating on male AC connectors!

 

Features

Furutech is known the world over for a huge variety of top-quality OEM parts and delivers consistently superior results by following Pure Transmission principles; examine every link in the power and signal path and ultimately optimize each and every element.

 

New phosphor bronze electrode structure

The new electrode (blade receiver) structure uses phosphor bronze, which conducts well and is springy, so firm contact pressure is held stable over the long term. The uniquely shaped new electrode has no sharp edges and is rounded instead, which stops the blades of the inserted power plug being scored by abrasion, while increasing the contact area and keeping the contact reliable, for loss-free power delivery.

  • Wire connection: the contact area is increased by more than 17%. The wire connection screws use Furutech's own structure, with high holding force and a large contact area.
  • A new 20A electrode structure that increases the contact area and doesn't damage AC plugs (15A plugs can also be used).
  • The main metal parts are given the Furutech α (Alpha) Process: cryogenic treatment at -196°C and a special electromagnetic field treatment.

A cryogenic and demagnetising treatment

The Alpha Process combines cryogenic treatment with demagnetisation, and Furutech applies it to its alpha-treated pure copper. It sits alongside Ohno Continuous Cast single-crystal copper in the conductor line-up, so the Furutech catalogue includes more than one route to a pure copper conductor.

Copper, silver and hybrid conductors

Furutech's materials include silver-plated copper and copper-silver hybrids as well as OCC and alpha-treated copper. DUCC and PC-Triple C copper appear in some of its cables. This range of conductors means the same plug design can be paired with different cable types.

NCF material and interference absorption

Furutech describes its NCF, short for Nano Crystal Formula, as generating negative ions and converting thermal energy into far infrared energy. It also uses a material called GC-303 to absorb electromagnetic interference. These are Furutech's own descriptions of what the materials are designed to do.

Why we stock Furutech

We do not just sell Furutech, we build with them. Their plugs and connectors go onto the custom cables we make in our own workshop, including cables for other brands in our range. When you fit a component by hand several times a week, you find out quickly whether it is well made.
