Furutech, which is based in Japan, announced that they are celebrating their 25th anniversary by introducing “reworked and improved versions of their very first power connectors.” According to their press release issued on December 1: “The new fresh-looking FI-15 Plus series features a new plating technique which delivers sonic improvements with a more durable finish and newly designed body for firm cable grip and resonance control.”
The two new IEC connectors are called FI-15(R)Plus and FI-15(G)Plus, while the two new AC connectors are called FI-15M(R)Plus and FI-15M(G)Plus. The R and G denote rhodium or gold plating of the pure-copper conductors. R-version connectors sell for $59 USD, while G versions sell for $52. All connectors have nylon/fiberglass main bodies and inner-cover plates, as well polycarbonate cable-damping clamps with stainless-steel screws, and can accommodate wire diameters ranging from 6.6mm to 15mm.
