AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Low-Distortion 2-Pole Power Cable
Overview
Many compact components, from DACs to game consoles, use a two-pole figure-8 power inlet, and the cable that feeds them can carry RF noise along with the current. The AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Power Cable is a 2-pole AC cable with an IEC C7 connector for those components.
Its Long-Grain Copper conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries, and AudioQuest's Semi-Solid Concentric topology packs the strands tightly so they never change position, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion.
Direction-controlled, silver-plated shield conductors drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground through the third pin of the wall plug, and all conductors are direction-controlled as part of AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation approach.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
Plug the power cable into a power conditioner or a clean wall outlet, and keep it apart from your signal cables where you can rather than bundling them together. Choose a length that reaches without stretching or coiling a large surplus behind the rack.

Why the AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Power Cable Stands Out
2-Pole C7 Connector
Fits the IEC C7 figure-8 inlet used on many DACs, powered desktop speakers, game consoles, and streamers.
Long-Grain Copper
LGC minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor.
Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors
Strands are packed tightly and never change position in the bundle, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion.
Silver-Plated Drain Wires
Direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground through the third pin.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
Conductors are controlled for RF-noise directionality so induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Desktop Listener: Powers a DAC or powered speakers from a desk or computer setup.
- The Home Theatre Owner: Powers a streamer, game console, or source component in an AV system.
- The System Builder: Wants consistent AudioQuest power and signal cabling through a system.
How It Compares
NRG-Y2 is AudioQuest's power cable for components with a 2-pole C7 inlet. For 3-pole C13 inlets, NRG-Y3 uses the same Long-Grain Copper and drain-wire approach and adds ZERO-Tech.
