Furutech launches new flagship USB cable – GT4 NCF USB-C | David Denyer PR

PRESS RELEASE: Furutech introduces the new GT4 NCF USB‑C: a next‑generation USB4 cable engineered for high‑performance audio and AV systems, where mechanical stability, signal integrity and noise suppression are critical.

Developed for high‑performance audio systems and advanced digital transports, Furutech’s new flagship GT4 NCF USB‑C cable integrates the company’s latest materials science research with its long‑established ‘Pure Transmission’ engineering approach.

Advanced ‘NCF’ connector shell

At the core of the GT4 NCF USB‑C is an advanced connector shell – a multi‑material hybrid structure that harnesses the power of Furutech’s proprietary NCF (Nano Crystal² Formula) with its two ‘active’ properties. First, it eliminates static by generating negative ions, and second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech enhances this material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder, leveraging their combined piezoelectric damping effect.

This composite structure is engineered to suppress electrical and mechanical resonance, supporting greater stability in high‑speed data transmission and lowering the noise floor.

USB4 performance with audiophile‑grade construction

The GT4 NCF USB‑C is fully compliant with USB4 40Gbps specifications and supports power delivery up to 240W (48V/5A). Crafted with precision, its construction includes:

Silver‑plated Alpha-treated* OCC conductors for low‑resistance, high‑purity signal transfer.
High‑density polyethylene insulation for optimal signal transmission.
Four‑layer shielding to minimise electromagnetic and RF interference.
Gold‑plated, copper‑alloy USB‑C connectors, engineered for minimal noise interference.

The cable also supports video output, enabling the transfer of high‑bandwidth content such as 4K video when used with compatible USB‑C displays.

*Furutech’s two‑stage ‘Alpha’ process

All conductive metal components in the signal path undergo Furutech’s proprietary two‑stage ‘Alpha’ process designed to enhance audio system performance:

Deep cryogenic freezingreduces internal stress within the metal structure, improving structural stability and conductivity.
Ring demagnetisationthen removes any residual magnetisation that can influence signal behaviour.

By eliminating electrical and mechanical resonance and ensuring a consistent, low‑distortion, low‑noise transmission environment, Furtech’s GT4 NCF USB‑C cable ensures smooth and detailed sound reproduction, especially with high-resolution recordings

Listeners can expect cleaner backgrounds, vivid tonal colors, enriched harmonics and an enhanced depth and focus in the soundstage. Low frequencies are cleaner, with a greater sense of definition made possible by a lowered noise floor, ensuring that every note is rendered with utmost clarity and precision.
