Furutech CF-102 NCF(R) High-End RCA Connector

Available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, the Furutech CF-102 NCF(R) is Furutech's top-of-the-line RCA signal connector and the first Furutech "signal" connector to feature the company's proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) material — injected directly into the centre conductor pin. The result of more than 30 years of Furutech's research into eliminating electrical and mechanical resonance from signal transmission, the CF-102 NCF is engineered for cable builders and DIY audio enthusiasts seeking the ultimate RCA termination for interconnect cables. Furutech specifies improvements in soundstage depth and focus, harmonic integrity, tonal balance, and a lowered noise floor that cleans up the low frequencies.

NCF — Nano Crystal² Formula in the Centre Pin

The CF-102 NCF's defining innovation is the use of Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) injected into the α (Alpha) OCC rhodium-plated centre conductor pin — making it the first Furutech signal connector to incorporate this material in the conductor itself rather than only in the connector body. NCF is a proprietary compound exclusive to Furutech, combining three active elements: a special crystalline material that generates negative ions to eliminate static charge; a mechanism that converts thermal energy into far infrared; and nano-sized ceramic particles with carbon powder for their piezoelectric effect damping properties. Together these three mechanisms address static, thermal, and mechanical noise at the point of signal transmission — where it matters most.

Alpha (α) Two-Stage Cryogenic & Ring Demagnetisation Process

Every metal part in the CF-102 NCF — including the one-piece OCC centre pin and the copper alloy body — undergoes Furutech's Alpha two-stage treatment. Stage one is a deep cryogenic freeze using liquid nitrogen or helium, reaching −196°C to −250°C. At these temperatures the metal's molecular structure changes — internal stresses are relieved, molecules bond more tightly, and electrical conductivity improves measurably. Stage two is Furutech's patented Ring Demagnetisation — a controlled attenuation process that removes residual magnetisation uniformly, without the uneven re-magnetisation that can occur with conventional magnet-based degaussing. The result is a metal part in a stress-free, highly conductive, non-magnetic state.

Carbon Fibre + Stainless Steel Housing

The CF-102 NCF's outer housing is non-magnetic stainless steel and silver-plated carbon fibre — a combination chosen for its superior damping properties and electrical insulation. Carbon fibre has a notably different resonant character to metal, and the combination with stainless steel provides a mechanically inert enclosure around the signal path. Furutech notes that slight discoloration of the silver-plated carbon fibre may occur over time — a natural characteristic of hand-produced components, not a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) and what does it do in the CF-102?

NCF is a proprietary compound developed exclusively by Furutech, combining three active elements: a crystalline material that generates negative ions to eliminate static charge; a thermal-to-far-infrared conversion mechanism; and nano-sized ceramic particles with carbon powder for piezoelectric damping. In the CF-102, NCF is injected into the α OCC centre conductor pin — addressing static, thermal noise, and mechanical resonance directly at the signal contact point. Furutech specifies improvements in soundstage depth, focus, harmonic balance, and a quieter noise floor.

What is the difference between standard OFC and α OCC in the CF-102?

OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper is drawn using a process that produces extremely long crystal grains — in some formulations, a single crystal grain runs the entire length of the conductor. This minimises the number of grain boundaries the signal must cross, each of which introduces a small degree of distortion and resistance. α OCC is OCC copper that has additionally been treated with Furutech's Alpha cryogenic and demagnetisation process, further relieving internal stress and improving conductivity. The rhodium plating adds corrosion resistance and a very hard, stable contact surface.

Is the Furutech CF-102 NCF suitable for phono (turntable) interconnect cables?

Yes. The CF-102 NCF is a signal-level RCA connector well suited to phono interconnect cable construction, where the signal levels are extremely low and noise from static, mechanical vibration, and connector contact resistance is most audible. Its NCF anti-static and damping properties make it a particularly appropriate choice for the sensitive phono signal path.

What cable diameter does the Furutech CF-102 NCF accept?

The CF-102 NCF accepts cable outer diameters up to a maximum of 11.0mm. For reference, most high-end interconnect cables fall between 6mm and 10mm in outer diameter — the CF-102 NCF accommodates the majority of cables in this category.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.
