Overview
Nordost White Lightning 3 Power Cord – Leif 3 Series
The Nordost White Lightning 3 Power Cord brings Nordost’s Leif 3 cable technology to audio components requiring a Figure-8 (IEC-C7) power connection. As the introductory power cord in the Leif 3 range, it is engineered to provide stable AC power while minimizing the effects of electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.
White Lightning 3 features Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament construction, combined with two 18 AWG, 65-strand 99.9999% OFC conductors and low-dielectric FEP insulation. The construction creates a controlled dielectric environment around the conductors, helping provide fast and efficient AC power delivery to compatible audio components.
