figure 8 powerkord
Many modern Hi-Fi and Home Cinema components - such as your Blu-ray player or Sky box - are fitted with a Figure 8 socket. 

We have a range of mains cables terminated with figure-8 connectors, to suit every system and budget.

Our original PowerKord-8 is based on the same KIMBER KABLE® as used in our Evolution-100 PowerKord and offers a similar level of performance. The PowerKord-308 sits at the same point in the range as the Evolution-300 PowerKord, and topping the range is the 508 which is equivalent to the Evolution-500 PowerKord.

If you're looking for a fast and simple way to improve your component fitted with a Figure 8 socket, this is a great choice. The PowerKord-8 is based on our Evolution-100 PowerKord and uses the same Kimber woven cable technology as that cable.

We find that connecting your equipment with PowerKord-8 delivers a sound that is fuller, more detailed and more open and natural... but don't just take our word for it! Fit one to your to your CD player, turntable or integrated amp and assess for yourself the improvements it can make (our money-back guarantee gives you 60 days to try it out!).

  • Eight of Kimber's high-purity, high-conductivity copper conductors for a highly efficient and clean method of getting current through to your equipment
  • KIMBER KABLE® conductors are woven in a unique pattern to act as a natural and highly effective RFI filter
  • High-performance Teflon® insulation 
  • We've perfected a new technique for attaching a figure-8 plug onto the cable. This is in addition to the use of a high quality UK mains plug fitted with our unique 13a fuse, so you can be sure of the best connection.

PowerKord-308
We were delighted to be able to expand the range of our Figure-8 PowerKords through the introduction of the superb WattGate Figure-8 plugs, which finally enabled us to fit Figure-8 plugs onto the larger PowerKords with more conductors.

If you already use one of our PowerKord-8s, our experience has shown that you can expect a significant upgrade in performance when moving up to the PowerKord-308 or 508.

The PowerKord-308 has twice as many conductors as the PowerKord-8 (16 vs 8) and delivers better bass with more musicality.

The PowerKord-508 has 50% more conductors than the PowerKord-308 (24 vs 16) and is the very best performing model of the range.


The Right Connection

Wattgate fig 8 plugs
The PowerKord-308 is fitted with the WattGate™ 340 EVO figure-8 plug which has unplated phosphor-bronze contacts.

The top-of-the-range PowerKord-508 is fitted with the WattGate 370 EVO Rh, which is the Rhodium plated version - in our tests, the best performing plug. 


Both of the WattGate figure-8 plugs fitted to the PowerKords have high spring-rate terminals - for a secure connection to your equipment - and the plugs grip onto the cables tightly with proprietary WattLock™ capture boxes.

The plugs are non-magnetic and have a durable polycarbonate plug shell.
