KECES Core Power Cable – power cable with 6N OCC copper

KECES Core Power Cable is a power cable for those who have already put the most important components of their hi-fi system in place and now want to keep working on the power connection for, for example, a streamer, DAC, phono preamp, CD transport, or preamplifier. KECES has built the cable around four separate conductors in 6N OCC single-crystal copper combined with PE insulation, vibration-damping material, and several protective layers. So it is not only the conductor material that has received attention. The entire construction – from the individual copper strands to the outer nylon braid – has been developed as a complete solution. KECES itself describes the sound character as open and natural with good transparency and particularly recommends Core Power Cable for sensitive source components.

Highlights

• 1.8-meter power cable for hi-fi components
• 6N OCC single-crystal copper
• Four separate conductors
• 7 bundles per conductor
• 46 copper strands of 0.1 mm per bundle
• PE insulation around each conductor
• Vibration-damping filler material
• Non-woven fabric wrap
• Black PVC outer jacket
• Transparent nylon braid as the outermost layer
• Developed with a focus on stable power transfer
• Especially suitable for source components

6N OCC copper arranged in four separate conductors

What we find especially interesting about the KECES Core Power Cable is its detailed internal construction. Each of the four conductors consists of seven bundles, and each bundle contains 46 strands of 0.1 mm 6N OCC single-crystal copper. That gives a total of 322 individual copper strands per conductor. The OCC copper has been chosen with a focus on high conductivity and purity, while each of the four conductors is individually insulated with PE. The construction has been developed for stable power transfer to the connected hi-fi component, with a focus on limiting energy loss and external interference.

KECES has also worked on the layers around the conductors

A power cable consists of more than just the copper itself, and that is why KECES has built several layers around the four conductors. First, a vibration-damping filler material is used, which keeps the internal construction together and is designed to reduce the impact of mechanical vibrations. This is followed by a non-woven material, a black PVC outer jacket, and finally a transparent nylon braid that protects the overall construction. The result is a cable in which both the electrical and mechanical design have been considered from the start, rather than focusing solely on the choice of conductor material.

Power cable developed with source components in mind

KECES highlights Core Power Cable as especially suitable for streamers, DACs, phono preamps, CD transports, and preamplifiers. The manufacturer describes the sound character as open and natural, with refined details in the high frequencies and good transparency. This is KECES's own description of the sonic effect, but it also says something about which components the manufacturer developed the cable for. To us, KECES Core Power Cable therefore makes the most sense for the music lover who has already chosen their source components with care and wants a dedicated 1.8-meter power cable with a detailed and well-thought-out internal construction.
