Furutech NCF Power Vault-E EU Schuko AC Power Distributor
The Furutech NCF Power Vault-E is an eight-outlet mains distributor for high-end hi-fi and AV systems, and this listing is the version with Schuko outlets. Its chassis is machined from solid blocks of aluminium alloy with a hairline anodised finish, and it stands on isolation spikes with spike supports. The eight FI-E30 NCF(R) Schuko sockets have rhodium-plated Alpha pure copper contacts, each is wired separately with Furutech's Alpha-12 stranded Alpha-OCC conductor, and power comes in through an FI-09 NCF(R) IEC inlet with rhodium-plated contacts. It is an unfiltered design: instead of a filter circuit, the hot and neutral conductors are star-wired in a central chamber filled with Furutech's noise-absorbing Formula GC-303, and every socket sits in an NCF Booster Brace that damps the plug and cable you connect to it. There is also a chassis grounding post.
Furutech make the NCF Power Vault in two versions, and neither has UK sockets. The US version has four NEMA duplex receptacles and is rated at 125V, so it is not suitable for UK mains. The version for the UK is this one, the Power Vault-E, with eight Schuko sockets rated at 10A on 250V and 2500W in total. Your components will need power cables fitted with Schuko plugs, and the Power Vault-E itself takes a mains cable with an IEC connector to suit its 10A inlet.
If you are comparing it with the Furutech distributors we already sell, the Schuko version of the Furutech e-TP609 NCF has six of the same FI-E30 NCF(R) sockets and the same FI-09 NCF(R) inlet, in a black-coated aluminium chassis wired with Alpha-22 conductor. The Power Vault-E adds two more sockets, a chassis machined from solid aluminium, Alpha-OCC internal wiring and an NCF Booster Brace on every socket. It is a much bigger unit, at 350 x 169 x 137mm without its spikes and supports and about 10.8kg, so check you have room on your rack or floor.
What Furutech say about the NCF Power Vault-E
The NCF Power Vault is Furutech’s premium power distributor, designed to deal with high-frequency noise as well as to share out power. Its chassis is CNC-machined from aerospace-grade aluminium alloy to shield against EMI and RFI, and instead of relying on basic filter circuits it uses special materials, isolation and grounding in an “induction and absorption” approach to noise. Inside, the star-wired hot and neutral conductors sit in a central chamber filled with Formula GC-303, the FI-E30 NCF Schuko sockets are independently wired with Alpha-OCC conductors, and NCF Booster Braces damp each power connector. Every metal part goes through Furutech’s two-stage cryogenic and demagnetising Alpha Process.
