Three 2.5mm² stranded 6N OFC conductors run inside a paper-and-cotton-yarn-filled core, wrapped in aluminum foil shielding and finished with a braided nylon sleeve. Resin-sealed pure copper plug contacts terminate at a US NEMA 5-15P plug head and IEC C13 connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of the Matrix Audio OFC Power Cable\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree 2.5mm² 6N OFC conductors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each conductor uses seven twisted wires, with each wire built from seven strands of 0.25mm² 6N (99.9999% pure) OFC.

Each conductor is composed of seven twisted wires, and each wire is itself made from seven strands of 0.25mm² 6N OFC (oxygen-free copper, 99.9999% purity). This nested multi-strand construction increases conducting surface area while keeping the cable flexible enough to route behind a rack without forcing the IEC inlet on the back of a component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/matrix-audio-power-cable-construction.jpg\" alt=\"Matrix Audio OFC power cable cutaway showing 6N OFC wires aluminum foil shielding and braided nylon sleeve\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAluminum Foil Shielding and Braided Nylon\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductor bundle is wrapped in aluminum foil shielding before the outer braided nylon sleeve goes on. The foil rejects external EMI from neighboring gear (switching supplies, class-D oscillators, Wi-Fi routers, and dimmer circuits) before that interference can ride the AC line into the powered component. The braided nylon outer sleeve provides mechanical protection and a layer of vibration damping. Cotton yarn and paper inside the core fill the space between conductors and act as a soft, low-loss dielectric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eResin-Sealed Pure Copper Plug Contacts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug contacts are pure copper, not the brass that ships on commodity power cables. At the junction between the cable and each plug, the connection point is sealed with resin to prevent oxidation. The resin seal matters because the copper-to-conductor contact is the slowest to corrode in a clean environment, but in a typical rack with airflow plus dust and humidity swings, an unsealed contact can develop oxide layers that raise resistance over time. The seal keeps the contact clean for the life of the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/matrix-audio-power-cable-iec-connection.jpg\" alt=\"Matrix Audio OFC power cable IEC C13 connector plugged into amplifier rear panel\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eUS NEMA 5-15P to IEC C13\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wall-side plug is a standard US NEMA 5-15P 3-prong household plug.
