The SAEC AC-3000 is a versatile, high-value power cable that introduces the benefits of PC-Triple C conductor technology at an approachable level. This innovative high-purity copper, developed through Furukawa Electric's exclusive continuous forging and drawing process, minimizes crystal grain boundaries (major obstacles to efficient transmission) by continuously aligning the crystals in the longitudinal direction. The result is outstanding conductivity, ultra-low distortion, stable electrical characteristics, and reliable performance specifically suited for audio power applications.
The cable features a 2-core structure (live and neutral, with ground typically handled via termination), where each conductor consists of 37 strands of φ0.26mm diameter wire, achieving an effective cross-sectional area of 2mm² (2Sq) per line. This gauge supports low-resistance power flow and a 15A allowable current rating, ensuring consistent energy delivery to components like preamps, DACs, sources, integrated amps, or lighter-load systems.
To enhance mechanical stability and transmission quality, the twisted cores incorporate cotton thread insertion as a filler, promoting even damping and stable performance across a wide frequency range. The conductors are sheathed in heat-resistant polyolefin, selected for durability, flexibility, and low environmental impact (non-lead). No external shielding is included in this model, prioritizing compactness and ease of use. The overall outer diameter is a practical φ8.5mm, making the cable highly flexible and straightforward to route in racks, behind furniture, or in custom installations without excessive bulk.
