Nordost Frey 3 Power Cord

Five silver-plated conductors, Micro Mono-Filament construction, and AC-optimized shielding

The Frey 3 occupies the middle of Nordost’s Norse 3 power cord range, positioned between Heimdall 3 and Tyr 3. Its design combines conductor isolation, mechanical tuning, and electromagnetic shielding.

Nordost’s proprietary Micro Mono-Filament construction wraps a single FEP filament around each conductor before it is encased in extruded FEP insulation. This creates a virtual air dielectric, minimizing contact with the surrounding insulation and providing mechanical damping. Mechanically tuned conductor lengths address resonance behavior.

Shielding for the AC Connection

AC-optimized shielding provides 90% coverage to help contain electromagnetic energy generated by the cable and reduce susceptibility to external interference. US versions offer an IEC-C15 (15 A) or IEC-C19 (20 A) equipment connector.
