Nordost Tyr 3 Power Cord

Seven silver-plated conductors, Dual Mono-Filament construction, and AC-optimized shielding

The Tyr 3 is the flagship power cord in Nordost’s Norse 3 Series, positioned above Heimdall 3 and Frey 3. It brings design principles from the company’s Reference cables to a construction that combines conductor isolation, mechanical tuning, and electromagnetic shielding.

Nordost’s proprietary Dual Mono-Filament construction wraps a precisely twisted pair of FEP filaments around each of the seven silver-plated, solid-core oxygen-free copper conductors. This creates a virtual air dielectric, minimizing contact between the conductors and their surrounding insulation to provide electrical isolation and mechanical damping. Mechanically tuned conductor lengths further address resonance behavior.

Shielding for the AC Connection

AC-optimized shielding provides 90% coverage and is designed to contain electromagnetic energy generated by the cable while reducing susceptibility to external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. US versions are available with an IEC-C15 (15 A) or IEC-C19 (20 A) equipment connector.
