C13 version
For equipment with a connection that requires a C13 cable connector. The ordering option states Furutech FI-46 NCF (G) 15A - C13 IEC. C13 and C19 are not interchangeable.
The Supreme is the flagship among PLiXiR's balanced AC cables. Thick UPOCC copper conductors, a further optimized balanced geometry, and attention to shielding and vibration damping come together in a network cable for a carefully constructed audio system.
Have you carefully chosen your power source and components? The Supreme is designed to treat the connection between them as part of the whole as well. PLiXiR positions it as a further development of The Statement, with improvements in conductor construction and finishing.
UPOCC stands for Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Casting. In this production process, copper is formed using heated molds into conductors with a long crystal structure and fewer grain boundaries.
PLiXiR uses thick UPOCC copper conductors throughout the Supreme cable. According to the manufacturer, the high purity and reduced structural grain formation and material stress are intended to improve current transfer.
The manufacturer also attributes sonic properties to this, such as more body, nuance, and detail. These are manufacturer claims; the audible result remains dependent on your equipment, power supply, and installation.
In addition to the copper, the relative position of the current-carrying conductors is also important. PLiXiR describes the Supreme as a further optimization of its own balanced AC cable architecture, aimed at suppressing common-mode noise.
The geometry of phase and neutral is intended to maintain balanced current transfer over the cable. In combination with a suitable Elite BAC, the cable forms a balanced power system according to PLiXiR up to the connected equipment.
The Supreme does not balance ordinary mains voltage itself. It is not a voltage converter and does not replace a balanced power conditioner. The electrical specifications and connections of your entire installation must match.
PLiXiR pays extra attention to the cable ends in the Supreme. The manufacturer mentions improved shielding and materials for vibration damping in the finishing. According to PLiXiR, the cable and connectors were developed as a cohesive design, with the goal of a durable connection with low impedance.
PLiXiR lists the Supreme as a suitable combination with Elite BAC power conditioners and Elite and Statement BDC power supplies. With a BAC, the cable can connect the suitable AC output to your audio component. With a BDC, it belongs on the AC mains side.
For the connection of the DC output of a BDC to your streamer or DAC, you need a separate (upgrade) DC cable. Check the connections, voltage, and allowed load for every application.
For equipment with a connection that requires a C13 cable connector. The ordering option states Furutech FI-46 NCF (G) 15A - C13 IEC. C13 and C19 are not interchangeable.
For equipment that requires a C19 cable connector. The ordering option states Furutech FI-31 (G) 20A - C19 IEC. C13 and C19 are not interchangeable.
The available cable lengths are 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 meters. Measure the cable route along your audio cabinet and leave enough space so that the connectors are not under tensile stress.

PLiXiR mentions, among others, UPOCC copper conductors, a further optimized balanced geometry, and improved finishing with vibration damping. The Supreme has the Furutech FI-46 NCF (G) at C13, while The Statement uses the FI-11 (CU) in this webshop.
No. PLiXiR lists NCF models for, among others, Schuko and the 15A-IEC version, but lists FI-31 (G) for the 20A-IEC version.
No. The cable architecture is intended to support balanced current transfer from a suitable source. For this, a suitable power source is required.
The C13 ordering option is Furutech FI-46 NCF (G) 15A - C13 IEC. Check if your device requires a C13 cable connector. The C19 version uses Furutech FI-31 (G) and is not interchangeable with C13.
Match the length and connectors to your power source and audio component. Provide AUDIOKAFE with the brand and model of your equipment and have the exact version confirmed, so that the cable fits your installation.
