The Formula 2 is a beautifully engineered and built USB 2.0 cable for enthusiasts with growing music collections on their computer hard drives looking for high performance sound.
Hard Disk Management More and more people have amassed large collections of music on their computer hard disks, and there are an increasing number of USB-input DACs to serve them. If properly setup and implemented computer-based systems are capable of smooth and detailed sound, especially with high resolution recordings. But as with any system component you need quality, well-engineered and built USB cables to get there.
Furutech has created a high performance entry level 2.0 USB cable for this purpose. They begin with silver-plated α (Alpha) OFC conductors and a special-grade high-density polyethylene insulation/dielectric. As illustrated below the Formula 2 features three-layer shielding and specially engineered 24k gold-plated USB 2.0 connectors. As with the more highly specified GT2 and GT3, the cable wrap includes damping and insulating materials keeping mechanical ringing from affecting the sound. A carefully engineered clamp improves grip and keeps both mechanical and electrical distortion at bay.
The result is much as you will hear from our GT2 USB cable: Clear and open highs, elegant midrange textures, powerful but in-control bass, an enhanced sense of the sheer palpability of the music you’ll enjoy.
Main conductor: Silver-plated α (Alpha) OFC Conductors • Main Insulation: Special-grade high-density polyethylene • 3-layer shield construction for improved noise insulation • Connectors: Furutech-engineered 24k gold-plated USB series Connectors • The best damping and insulation materials for improved frequency extension and tonal balance • Cable Types o Formula 2 USB-B (Type A-B) / USB-mini B (Type A-mini B) • Cable Lengths o 0.6m (2ft) / 1.2m (4ft) / 1.8M (6ft) / 3.6m (12ft) / 5.0m (16.5ft)

International Delivery Service and VAT;
Custom Cable will use Royal Mail International Signed For worldwide for all items less than 2.0kgs. Items more than 2.0kgs are sent using Parcel Force Worldwide. For countries in the EU delivery times are estimated between 3-7 working days and slightly longer for all countries outside of the EU.
Customers in certain countries are also able to choose Royal Mail International Airsure. Airsure® is generally a day faster than standard Airmail and can be tracked online. Which means the aim is:
2 working days after posting to Western Europe
4 working days after posting to Eastern Europe and postal subsidiaries (Islands and Principalities)
6 working days after posting to the rest of the world
The above standards are monitored by the independent and impartial International Post Corporation to ensure reliable and consistent delivery, which is why Airsure® is only available to selected countries.
Please note that Airsure® is an upmarket mail, not a courier service. This means we cannot provide a guaranteed or certain delivery time, nor can we offer compensation for delays or missing Track & Trace information.
Prices for International Delivery are available at checkout and are specific for the delivery destination, please see here after adding your product to your cart.
