The Optimum power cable is designed specifically for components which draw higher levels of electrical current from the mains; for instance higher power integrated amps, power amps, subwoofers, power conditioners and projectors. The Optimum cable uses thicker, triple-screened, 20-amp conductors in place of the double-screened, 16-amp conductors featured in their Premium and Elite series cords.

IsoTek specialises in producing power management products, including mains conditioners and filters. For the ultimate in performance, a system should combine IsoTek conditioning components with IsoTek mains cables, ensuring the purest possible electricity supply. However, it is possible to upgrade in stages – even without other filtering products, a simple cable upgrade will bring significant improvements, as IsoTek’s own demonstrations at hi-fi shows around the world clearly show.

The rejection of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is key to the design of all their power cables. RFI and EMI are now universally regarded as a major problem affecting the performance of both audio and video quality in high-performance systems, and cables act as an antenna in this respect. IsoTek has chosen not to offer a platting solution; although this is an effective solution for RFI/EMI rejection, it also often results in a build up of capacitance in the cable, which alters the sonic characteristics of the hardware.

In order to provide effective RFI/EMI rejection while maintaining neutrality, IsoTek came up with an alternative solution. Three cores of high-grade, annealed OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) conductors are encased in a highly flexible PVC inner sheath, which is in turn surrounded by a braided screen – this earthed screen forms an active RF shield around the inner cores. The result is a reduction of the background ‘mush’ within the system, delivering a more open and airy sound with a greater sense of high frequency detail. Each cable is terminated in high-quality connectors to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
