Power cable The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID is our new special quality heavy power cable. The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID has been specially designed bearing uncompromised mains power distribution to high-end audio, video and professional equipment in mind and is able to deliver a virtually unlimited stream of low noise mains power. The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID features: A unique embedded powerline noise suppression filter. A very high continuous current capacity and a maximum transparency with regards to instantaneously drawn current surges. Strong shielding against in and outwards radiation of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Heavy conductors and shield of the high quality also found in our loudspeaker cables. Extreme ruggedness and therefore a very long lifespan. The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID’s special Hybrid conductor structure and configuration have been designed to work as an embedded powerline filter which effectively suppresses high frequency powerline noise without imposing any current delivery limitations. This possible as no filtering components exists in series with its AC current path; Series impedance (reactance) is absent and the cable therefore does not exhibit any current limiting, resonance or sluggish response to current demand effects. A true unlimited stream of clean mains power indeed! The cable is equipped with a high quality shield that has two important functions: Prevents powerline noise from radiating outwards onto your close by equipment and interconnects and prevents external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from entering the AC line. The cable’s central yellow-green coloured ground lead features a broadband low impedance, which allows for perfect drainage of the connected equipment’s ground current noise and thus further helps to keep the noise floor down. Note: To ensure proper noise suppression behaviour, The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID is not sold in lengths below 1.5 meter. The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID has been equipped with heavy gauge high purity dense silver coated high purity oxygen free stranded copper conductors. The effective cross-section area of The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID’s blue Neutral and brown Lead/Hot current leads (*2) each is 1.69 mm2 (~ AWG 15), yielding a very low 1.0 Ohm/100 m. series resistance. The cable’s loop current series resistance is therefore a very low 0.02 Ohm per meter run. The combined contact resistance of attached common mains and IEC plugs often is higher; Therefore the use of high quality plugs, outlets, power entries and further mains wiring is important. With its gold coloured heavy HULLIFLEX ® 4 jacket and heavy shield beneath, The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID is extremely rugged. With all features on board for an uncompromised and long lasting performance, The MAINSSTREAM HYBRID is the ultimate choice for the critical audiophile and professional.
