RINGMAT PURE POWER MAINS CABLE
|
Our RINGMAT PURE POWER MAINS CABLE is a
very considerable Mains Cable with a
length of 4-core Ringmat OFC Pure Power
Cable and a weighty Earth cable at its
heart. Prototypes of this Mains Cable
have been in use in Ringmat
Developments’ test bed system for some
years. As explained above, the results
are awesome. However, there was a
practical problem in bringing them to
the market in that the thickness of the
Pure Power Cable and the Earth Lead (up
to 10mm²) meant that they could not fit
into even the very largest versions of
domestic or professional AC mains plugs
or high power IEC plugs/sockets. These
problems have now been solved by linking
the very large conductors at the heart
of the Mains Cable to another
substantial 5-core ‘connecting’ Mains
Cable of significant quality, via a
recently developed and very neat 5-pole
connector at each end. Although the
‘connecting’ Mains Cable is very
substantial, it is possible to terminate
it with traditional UK and international
type mains plugs. The exceptional
quality of the Ringmat OFC Pure Power
Cable is well documented and
considerable care has been taken through
extensive listening tests to ensure that
the other components are of |

complimentary and comparable quality. Every care
has been taken in the design of this Mains Cable
to avoid those conditions whereby sound signals
dependent upon mains power are adversely
affected, such as where the wrong polarity has
been used, the wrong number of strands have been
used in conductors and through the use of solder
to secure connections – only screws have been
used to secure connections. Those familiar with
the use of the Pure Power Cable as speaker cable
will be recognise the practice. We have
effectively used 5-core cables throughout, with
a single Earth conductor and two conductors each
for live and neutral whereby ‘opposite’
conductors are paired.

Ringmat Pure Power Mains
Cable with Schuko Plug |
With the Ringmat Pure Power Cable at the
heart of our Mains Cable, with its very
low capacitance and very low resistance,
the design enables an extraordinarily
accurate sound reproduction to be
provided in sound systems using it.
Obviously, the quality and set up of the
sound reproduction system itself is a
crucial factor, but with the Ringmat
Pure Power Mains Cable there is the
capability of exceptional bandwidth,
tonal performance, firm imagery and
remarkable transparency. The sense of
power and space can be awesome, and yet
fine nuances can still be exquisitely
presented. |
SPECIFICATIONS
Pure Power Cable: 4 PVC insulated
conductors of stranded high purity oxygen free
copper wire, each conductor has 56 x 0.30 mm
dia. strands, giving a core size of almost 4
mm2, reducing to 49 strands at termination
Earth Cable: Single conductor of 7 x 1.35
mm dia. strands of plain copper in LSF
thermosetting insulation, giving a core size of
10 mm2
Connecting Cable: 5-core mains cable,
each conductor having a core size of 1.5 mm2
Place of manufacture of complete Pure Power
Mains Cable: EU
Plugs and Connectors: The design of the
plugs and connectors used with the Pure Power
Mains Cable is very important and a considerable
period of research was needed to find and select
the ones chosen. Indeed, it took several years,
which is why the Mains Cable was not released
earlier.
Cable Terminations: At the power socket
end, the Mains cables are available with UK
13Amp, Schuko or IEC plugs, or with bare ends to
meet local requirements with regard to mains
plugs. At the equipment end, standard
termination is with IEC plugs. They can also be
supplied with bare ends.
The standard length of the Ringmat Pure Power
Mains Cable is 1.4metres. Lengths of 1.7 and 2
metres are also available, as are other lengths
to order.
