Furukawa Electric Co
Large Japanese manufacturer of semiconductor base materials, bulk wire and optical cables. In addition to generic electrical wire they are the original source of the bulk wire used in most high end Litz interconnects intended for use with valve amplifiers, for the winding wire used by several high end transformer manufacturers (has better insulation than most) and for the PCOCC and PCOCC-A cables used in some high end interconnects and speaker cables but they are actually intended for scientific and extreme weather environment usage.
In the 1980’s when the company first introduced the mono-crystal PCOCC cables they produced a line of high end audio cables and interconnects as a marketing move, these quickly became legendary in the hi-fi circles but the company never intended to go into the hi-fi business and withdrew from the market in 1988 and the Furutech company was founded by a group enthusiasts to ensure the future availability of cables based on the mono-crystal wire, we believe they still use Furukawa bulk wire in their cables.
