IsoTek EVO3 Sequel [2M] System Link Cable

The IsoTek EVO3 Sequel (2M) is an upper-tier System Link power cable from IsoTek (Bath, England), available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized IsoTek dealer in Buffalo, NY. Part of IsoTek's EVO3 cable range, the Sequel is available in System Link to C15 and System Link to C19 configurations, connecting an IsoTek power conditioner's Neutrik powerCON System Link outlet to an audio component's IEC C15 or C19 inlet. The cable uses 3×14AWG (2.0mm²) six-nines silver-plated Oxygen Free Copper conductors, a Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) Teflon dielectric with a 2.1 dielectric constant, Mylar barrier wrap, OFC braid shield, and IsoTek's custom-made solid OFC connectors with 24ct gold-plated contacts. Cable power rating is 16A and outer diameter is 10mm.

6N Silver-Plated OFC Conductors and FEP Teflon Dielectric

The EVO3 Sequel's conductors use silver-plated 99.9999% (six-nines) Oxygen Free Copper, a substantial step beyond the standard OFC found in entry-level cable designs. The silver plating reduces contact resistance at the conductor surface — where the majority of high-frequency current flows due to the skin effect — while the 99.9999% OFC base provides superior bulk conductivity throughout the conductor cross section. Three conductors at 2.0mm² each (equivalent to 14AWG) carry line, neutral, and earth in a construction rated for 16A continuous operation, making the Sequel appropriate for connection to high-draw components including large power amplifiers and power conditioners with C19 inlets. The dielectric surrounding the conductors is Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP), a Teflon-family material with a dielectric constant of 2.1. FEP's dielectric constant is among the lowest available in cable construction — significantly lower than standard PVC — meaning less electromagnetic energy is stored in the insulation and released back into the conductor as a timing artifact or noise contribution. Cotton filler maintains consistent conductor geometry within the cable assembly. A Mylar barrier wrap is applied beneath the OFC braid shield, providing an additional layer of EMI attenuation and mechanical protection before the high-flexibility PVC outer jacket.

Neutrik powerCON System Link Connector, C15 and C19 Configurations, and 2M Length

IsoTek's System Link connector is a Neutrik powerCON, a professional-grade locking AC power connector used across the EVO3 conditioner range. The Neutrik powerCON provides a more mechanically secure connection than a standard IEC socket, with a twist-lock retention mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection in rack environments. This connector end of the Sequel plugs into the System Link outlet on an IsoTek EVO3 power conditioner and delivers the conditioned power downstream to the connected component. At the component end, the Sequel is available with either an IEC C15 or IEC C19 connector. The C15 is a three-pin connector with the same physical footprint as a C13 but with a temperature-rated notch, used on power amplifiers and other components that run warm under sustained operation. The C19 is a high-current IEC connector rated for up to 16A, used on large power amplifiers, high-end power conditioners, and other components with substantial power draw requiring a dedicated high-current inlet. Both connector ends use IsoTek's custom-made solid OFC housings with 24ct gold-plated contacts. The 2M cable length accommodates rack configurations where the IsoTek conditioner and the downstream component are separated by more than a single bay, providing flexibility for larger equipment racks and dedicated listening room installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IsoTek EVO3 Sequel System Link cable?

The IsoTek EVO3 Sequel (2M) is an upper-tier System Link power cable connecting IsoTek EVO3 power conditioners to audio components. It uses 3×14AWG silver-plated 99.9999% OFC conductors, FEP Teflon dielectric, Mylar barrier, OFC braid shield, and custom solid OFC connectors with 24ct gold-plated contacts. It is available in System Link to C15 and System Link to C19 configurations, with a Neutrik powerCON locking connector at the conditioner end. The EVO3 Sequel is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorized IsoTek dealer in Buffalo, NY.

How does the EVO3 Sequel compare to the EVO3 Initium or EVO3 Premier?

The EVO3 Initium is IsoTek's entry-level System Link cable, using standard 3×14AWG OFC conductors and a C13 termination. The EVO3 Premier sits above it with an improved conductor and connector specification. The EVO3 Sequel advances further with six-nines silver-plated OFC conductors, FEP Teflon dielectric with a 2.1 dielectric constant, Mylar barrier, OFC braid shielding, and solid OFC connectors with 24ct gold plating — construction associated with significantly higher-tier cable engineering. The Sequel is also available in C15 and C19 rather than C13, making it appropriate for higher-current components and larger power conditioners. Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY carries IsoTek cables across the EVO3 range for direct comparison.

What is the difference between the C15 and C19 configurations?

The IEC C15 is a three-pin connector with the same physical footprint as a standard C13 but featuring a temperature-rated offset notch, making it appropriate for power amplifiers and other components whose IEC inlets are specified for warm-running equipment. The IEC C19 is a larger, six-pin high-current connector rated for up to 16A, used on large power amplifiers, high-end power conditioners, and other components with substantial sustained power requirements. The System Link end of both configurations uses the same Neutrik powerCON locking connector for the IsoTek conditioner. The correct choice depends entirely on the IEC inlet specification of the component being connected.

What is 6N silver-plated OFC and why does it matter in a power cable?

6N refers to "six nines" — 99.9999% pure Oxygen Free Copper, processed to remove oxygen and metallic impurities to an exceptionally high level. Silver plating on the conductor surface reduces resistance where high-frequency current is most concentrated due to the skin effect, while the 6N OFC base provides high bulk conductivity throughout the conductor cross section. For power cables, the primary benefit is a lower-impedance current path to the audio component's power supply, which can reduce dynamic impedance variation under changing load conditions and improve transient response during demanding musical passages.

What is FEP Teflon dielectric and why is it used in the EVO3 Sequel?

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) is a Teflon-family fluoropolymer used as the conductor insulation in the EVO3 Sequel. Its dielectric constant of 2.1 is among the lowest of any practical cable insulation material, significantly below standard PVC (approximately 3.5–4.5). A lower dielectric constant means the insulation stores less electromagnetic energy and releases less back into the conductor, reducing dielectric absorption artifacts that can affect signal coherence in audio applications. FEP is also chemically stable, non-reactive, and maintains consistent electrical properties across a wide temperature range, making it a preferred dielectric material in high-specification cable construction.

Which IsoTek conditioners are compatible with the EVO3 Sequel System Link cable?

The IsoTek EVO3 Sequel System Link cable is compatible with IsoTek EVO3 series power conditioners equipped with Neutrik powerCON System Link outputs. The C15 connector at the component end is compatible with IEC C14/C16 inlets on audio equipment, while the C19 requires a dedicated high-current IEC C20 inlet. Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY can confirm compatibility with your specific IsoTek conditioner and component combination and assist with cable selection across the EVO3 range.
