Ricable Supreme Power (2m) Power Cable
534,00 €
Ricable Supreme Power (2m) is a shielded power cable for audio equipment with a suitable IEC connection. Two 4 mm² AM-RCC OFC copper cores and multiple shielding layers are intended to limit interference. The 22 mm diameter requires sufficient clearance behind the equipment. The Japanese-made IEC connector is rated at 10 A, while the Schuko plug is rated at 16 A.
Ricable Supreme Power (2m) is a 2 m shielded power cable. It is designed for audio equipment fitted with a suitable IEC power inlet. The cable is terminated with Schuko and IEC components made in Japan.
Conductor and shielding construction
Two 4 mm² cores provide a total conductor cross-sectional area of 8 mm². The conductors are made from pure AM-RCC OFC copper, with each individual strand measuring 0.15 mm. The conductors are twisted together and combined with the insulation as part of the cable’s internal construction.
The bipolar, double-twisted geometry is paired with multiple layers of shielding. Each 4 mm² conductor is surrounded by Mylar and aluminium shielding. An additional OFC copper braid encloses the bipolar cable, while the outer shield uses a tinned OFC copper braid.
This construction is intended to limit electromagnetic interference reaching the cable. That is particularly relevant in a densely connected system where power and signal cables may run close to one another. Even with the integrated shielding, it is advisable to route them separately whenever the equipment layout allows.
Insulation and outer jacket
The dielectric insulation incorporates cotton cord. External protection is provided by an especially flexible PVC jacket reinforced with a nylon braid. The 22 mm outer diameter should be considered when positioning equipment. Leave enough room behind an amplifier or other component for the cable to follow a wide curve, and avoid bending it sharply next to the connectors. This helps prevent sideways pressure on the socket and avoids subjecting it to continuous mechanical strain.
Connectors and installation
One end has a Japanese-made Schuko plug rated at 16 A. The other end is fitted with a Japanese-made IEC connector rated at 10 A. The complete cable assembly must not be treated as a 16 A connection solely because of the rating marked on the Schuko plug.
The specific IEC connector subtype is not stated. The power inlet on the equipment must physically match the cable connector. The general IEC designation alone does not confirm compatibility with a particular inlet.
The connector contacts are plated with 24-karat gold. Their machined aluminium housings have a carbon-based coating. Ferrite interference-suppression blocks are integrated into the connectors and are intended to reduce high-frequency interference at the ends of the cable.
Manufacture and treatment
The cable is designed and handmade in Italy. It undergoes treatment using the R-Electron system. This manufacturing stage does not change the connection procedure or the need to select the correct connector.
CE, RoHS and FCC compliance is stated. A lifetime warranty with on-site service is also provided. The applicable warranty terms depend on the procedure established by the seller.

FAQ
What equipment is this cable intended for?
It is intended for mains-powered audio equipment with a suitable IEC connection. Before choosing the cable, compare the equipment inlet with the cable connector.
Can the entire cable be used as a 16 A connection?
No. The Schuko plug is rated at 16 A, while the IEC connector is rated at 10 A. The lower connector rating must be taken into account when assessing the load.
What are the warranty terms?
A lifetime warranty with on-site service is stated, but its scope and conditions are not provided. Confirm the applicable terms with the seller before purchasing.
How should the cable be routed near signal connections?
The integrated shielding is intended to limit interference. Where possible, power and signal cables should still be routed separately and should not be tied together in the same bundle.
Are both ends of the cable the same?
No. The Schuko plug connects to the mains outlet, while the IEC connector connects to the equipment. The current ratings of the two connectors also differ.
