KECES Apex Power Cable – power cable for power-hungry hi-fi systems

KECES Apex Power Cable is a power cable for those who have a powerful hi-fi system and want a design focused on high current capacity, low impedance, and effective grounding. KECES uses 5N OCC single-crystal copper, where the live and neutral conductors consist of robust 0.32 mm copper strands, while the ground conductor is built from as many as 265 finer OCC strands. Around the conductors, you will find Teflon insulation and multiple layers with different mechanical properties. The design is particularly intended for systems where power delivery and dynamic fluctuations place greater demands on the connection between the wall socket and the hi-fi electronics.

Robust conductors for when your system places greater demands

What we find particularly interesting about the KECES Apex Power Cable is the difference in the construction of the individual conductors. The live and neutral conductors each consist of 37 strands with a diameter of 0.32 mm in 5N OCC single-crystal copper. The ground conductor, on the other hand, is built from 265 finer 0.1 mm OCC strands. KECES has chosen this construction with a focus on low impedance, effective grounding, and the ability to deliver high current without unnecessary limitations. This makes Apex especially relevant in a hi-fi system with electronics where power demand can change quickly in step with the dynamics of the music.

More than copper alone

KECES has also worked thoroughly on the materials surrounding the conductors. The individual conductors are insulated with Teflon, while several additional layers are included in the overall electrical and mechanical construction. The build combines soft PVC, flexible silicone, and vibration-damping textile. The materials have been chosen to maintain practical flexibility and to reduce the impact of mechanical vibrations on power transmission. The result is a well-engineered design in which both electrical and mechanical properties have been considered from the start.

Developed for hi-fi systems with greater power demands

KECES itself describes the sonic character of the Apex Power Cable as a large soundstage with controlled bass, a full and natural midrange, and a smooth extension in the high frequencies. The manufacturer also highlights dynamics as a key characteristic. This is KECES' own description of the sonic effect, but it also says something about the type of hi-fi system the cable was developed for. To us, Apex makes particular sense for the music lover with a more power-hungry system, where the power connection should receive the same attention as the rest of the electronics.
