What are the advantages of the PC3+1EMC?

Standard power cables generally have two serious disadvantages: They have too small a diameter [current!] and they are ideal antennas for RF frequency distortions.

Based upon EMC/EMI shielding technology, the power cable is resistant against both radiated RF and conducted distortions.

cicable power cables are especially built for digital and power components, but they exhibit their outstanding qualities of noise suppression also in other application areas. Unlike standard mains cables the PC3+1EMC power cable taking in account the latest perceptions of EMC / EMI.

Peak Power

Among other things, the PC3+1 is superior to standard power cables due to its structure: In comparison to usual power cables the PC3+1 features a diameter of 4x1.5mm2. This ensures a low impedance and low loss coupling to handle highest current, which is an essential precondition if peak power is to be released without loss.

Screening and filtering

To protect against external electromagnetic fields all all leads are covered by a massive foiled screen which helps to decouple distortions, for example coupling effects because of mains leads in parallel. An additional 1.5mm drain wire conducts low– and high frequency distortions down to earth.

Local anti–distortions elements, networks and filters makes mains leads high impedance and open doors for distortions into power supplies. This is contrary to the efforts of designers of quality products aiming for a clean and well controlled results in sonic reproduction. Powerfilters are often the reason for a »weak« , uncontrolled bass end and loss of dynamic.

RF – Distortions

The design and the structure of the cicable PC3+1 EMC mains cable makes antidistortion networks obsolete. Symmetrical, highfrequent distortions, caused and feedback by other equipments into the mains network are protected by a high protective ferritescreen around each lead. RF frequencies will be absorbed due to the magnetic and dielectric losses of the ferrite screen. The whole cables work like a »soft« lowpass–filter. The damping relates to the length of the cable and reaches about 30dB @ 300 MHz.

The quantity of different types of distortions in a system [for an overview click here] make it impossible to solve them with just a single solution. Filter networks are not always a suitable solution, because they are of high impedance caused by their design. Due to that they also makes the devices sensitive to distortions rather than to protect them. – The result is an unbalanced improvement of the system, even more distortions in some parts of the system which wasn't the intention of the designer.

If you like to have a fully and total suppression of all mains distortions there is only one solution: an autarc power source with very low distortions like the cicable power source PS24q. Other solutions are only »half–measures« . Further information about this subject you find on the PS2.4Q page.


Coupling

We would like to give you a hint: If devices are connected to the mains by cables of different brands and constructions coupling could be the result. More simple: distortions tend to go the easiest way.If they are suppressed by one cable they can enter the system via another one. – We recommend therefore to always use the same cable: of the same construction and brand for all devices, to create the same conditions for all components.

Conclusion

The cicable PC3+1 EMC mains cable is an important solution to improve any audio system. The result is a harmonic and clean sound reproduction even of fine details and improves the whole systems quality noticeably.

The soft low–pass filtering without filter– or power losses ensures the best dynamic properties of connected components. Magnetic and electrical couplings are effectively suppressed.
