According to PLiXiR, the current-carrying phase and neutral conductors are placed in a precisely defined geometry along the entire length of the cable. This construction is designed for power delivery from a balanced power supply and the maintenance of common-mode noise suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommon-mode noise is a disturbance that occurs on both power supply conductors. PLiXiR describes its cable architecture as a way to carry the noise-suppressing properties of a balanced power conditioner further through the power chain, rather than only paying attention to balance at the output of the conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"plixir-note\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable does not balance ordinary mains voltage itself. A suitable balanced power source or power conditioner is required for that. The Statement can also be used as a conventional hi-fi mains cable, but the specific balanced application is the core of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClean Earth: attention to the ground conductor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe placement of the ground conductor is a distinctive part of the construction. According to PLiXiR, it is located in the neutral field of the cable: the area where the fields of phase and neutral cancel each other out through the chosen balanced geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this Clean Earth construction, the manufacturer aims to limit the influence of the ground conductor by the adjacent current-carrying conductors. It is a design principle for the internal cable construction, not a guarantee that the grounding of every installation becomes completely noise-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUltra-pure copper and double shielding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, The Statement uses thick conductors made of ultra-pure copper. The generous conductor construction is aimed at power delivery, while the balanced geometry and shielding are intended to limit unwanted interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround the cable construction, PLiXiR combines copper foil with a braid of oxygen-free copper, also referred to as OFC. This double shielding is intended as protection against external noise influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is finished with Furutech power connectors. According to PLiXiR, the connector construction supports the balanced connection up to the connection pins. The transition from copper conductor to connector is aimed at low contact impedance. The interplay of these techniques is aimed at power delivery with little noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA suitable link behind your power conditioner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you use a PLiXiR Elite BAC?
