ATLAS CABLES LAUNCH NEW MAINS CABLES AND MAINS BLOCKS

Atlas Cables of Kilmarnock, Scotland has launched its latest range of screened mains power cables, Atlas Eos em, and Atlas Eos Modular em Mains Blocks.

ATLAS EOS EM MAINS CABLE RANGE

Consisting of two models, Eos 4.0em and Eos 2.5em, this new Atlas Eos em Mains Cable Range is a fully screened ‘dual drain’ design, which builds on Atlas’ ongoing research to reduce the effects of signal-harming airborne electromagnetic interference. Now incorporating an all-new carbon-loaded screening process, the Eos em range has been designed to offer protection against the effects of Rf radiation.

OFC AND ANTI-VIBRATION

For each conductor, Atlas Cables Eos em utilises the high current capacity oxygen free copper (OFC), with the 4.0 variant having a 4mm2 cross section and the 2.5 having a 2.5mm2 cross-section of twisted strands.  Each of the three internal conductors is sheathed using highly stabilised PVC dielectrics, and then twisted together with the other two conductors. Anti-vibration filler packs out the conductors, which are then covered in a new hybrid carbon screen. The additional dual drain system conductors are combined with the hybrid carbon screen to maximise performance before the whole construction is covered in soft PVC and finished with black protective fabric sleeving.

ATLAS DUAL DRAIN TECH

Atlas’ Dual Drain technology is designed principally to act as a super filter against harmful incoming RF AC power contamination, whereby the dual drain technology dumps any airborne and electromagnetic disturbance effects rapidly to earth, removing them from the AC power feed.

EOS POWER PLUGS

Both ends of the cable are terminated with high quality IEC and 13 Amp Eos power plugs (Nema and Shuko terminations are also available), with IEC C15 and C19 available for the 4.0 and IEC C13 for the 2.5.  Every internal mechanical connection that can lead to deleterious macro vibrations is damped via the application of a two-part high-density Epoxy resin, which also seals the primary connection points airtight thereby mitigating any long term oxidisation issues. All plugs have copper-bronze pins that are highly polished then deep silver plated for the best contact. All cables within the Eos em range are fully safety checked at an external safety testing facility to ensure adherence to the latest and strictest safety performance specifications.

ATLAS ELECTROMAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY

Atlas Cables has also upgraded its range of Modular power distribution solutions.  Both the Atlas Eos Modular 2.5em and Atlas Eos Modular 4.0em have had the internal wiring replaced with the company’s latest em (electromagnetic) cable. Atlas’ em technology combines the company’s proprietary ‘dual drain’ technology with an all-new carbon-loaded screening process.  The result is designed to offer protection against the effects of the Rf and electromagnetic radiation found in modern homes.

ATLAS EOS MODULAR 2.5EM

Produced as an upgrade to a household mains distribution block, the Atlas Eos Modular 2.5em is a six-way robust, no-nonsense screened power extension block designed and built to deliver unimpeded power to audio system components. Housed in a highly conductive aluminium chassis, each socket is optimised for low contact resistance and minimal resistive losses. An integrated direct ground drain path for screened interconnects and cables offers connection for the company’s Grun Coherent Earth system, which reduces the system noise floor still further.

ATLAS EOS MODULAR 4.0EM

The Atlas Eos Modular 4.0em mains block combines sockets designed for higher power items (eg. amplifiers) with filtered variants for equipment processing delicate low-level signals (eg. CD players and DACs). The block is fully shielded, constructed from a welded steel chassis with anti-vibration contact damping and is configurable with optional filtered sockets. All components are of the highest quality, with the filtering circuit board being of heavy-duty design with gold-plated connections. Like its sibling, the Eos Modular 4.0em also features the direct ground drain to connect the Grun Coherent Earth System.
