Evolution-100 PowerKord™
The Evolution-100 PowerKord™ is the first in our range of woven PowerKords. An ideal partner for all components, we find it's particularly well suited to preamps and sources – your CD player, streamer and turntable. Many customers also partner it with our
PowerBar and X-Block mains extensions. Assess for yourself the improvements it can make (our
money-back guarantee gives you 60 days to try it out).
The Evolution-100 PowerKord™ with EURO mains plug and W320i High Current IEC connector. The range has evolved
The new Evolution range of PowerKords feature Kimber’s new high purity copper (higher than in the previous PowerKord models) and our new earth arrangement which reduces the amount of noise induced into the earth by 20 times over the previous model. They really are an evolution of the design that we've loved for the past three decades and are the best performing PowerKords we've made.

Evolution-100 PowerKord™ Features
- Evolution-100 uses eight separately-insulated Kimber Kable conductors, woven together to reduce Radio Frequency Interference.
- Progressing from the established 'earth down the centre' woven cable design used in earlier PowerKords, the Evolution-100 features a new, low induced noise earth arrangement where the earth is helically wound around the outside of the weave.
- It’s not just the earthing arrangement of the new PowerKords that has improved. Kimber have been working on the purity of the copper wire used in the PowerKords' braid; the new Evolution range features a higher purity copper than the older design.
- The Evolution-100 PowerKord™ is encapsulated in a Noise Reduction sleeving which uses a combination of two strand thicknesses to achieve flexibility and a soft, tactile feel to the cable.
- High performance mains plugs and IEC connectors are used to ensure a positive, low-resistance connection to your component.

Most Hi-Fi and Home Cinema components - such as your CD player or integrated amp - are fitted with a standard 10A IEC (kettle type) socket. For these, along with our PowerBars™, PowerPurifier™ and X-Blocks™, choose the
W320e standard IEC (pictured above, left).
If you are fitting your cable to one of our PowerBlocks™ or older UltraPurifiers™, you'll need to choose the
Wattgate W320i high current IEC (pictured above, right).
IMPORTANT Wattgate IEC connectors are designed to make a very tight connection to the pins of the IEC socket on your equipment or on our mains extensions - the better the connection, the better the performance. Consequently, they need to be pushed home
very firmly. We strongly recommend watching our instructional video before fitting to ensure your Wattgate IEC is connected properly to the equipment.

Captive mains lead?
If your equipment has a mains lead fitted directly into the unit that can't be removed, our Male IEC adaptor pack creates an inline IEC socket and lets you upgrade your power cable.
