Pure Power Distribution with No Current Limiting Components

The six-outlet Cardas Nautilus Power Strip offers pure power distribution with no current limiting components. It is the power distribution strip of choice for no-compromise audio and home theater systems. Each outlet in The Nautilus is equally capable of delivering the clean power your audio equipment requires, from high-current amplifiers to sensitive front-end components.

Premium Cardas 4181US Duplex Outlets

The Nautilus features three pairs of renowned Cardas 4181US outlets for a total of six power connections. This duplex power outlet features rhodium over silver plating on all contact surfaces and provides an excellent grip, even on heavy power cables. The Cardas 4181US outlet is among the finest audio-grade power outlets on the market and it was specifically designed for the Nautilus Power Strip project.

Point-to-point Wiring with Cardas Grade One, Ultra Pure Conductors

Internally, the Nautilus is point-to-point wired with Cardas Grade One, Ultra Pure 10 AWG Solid Core Conductor and Cardas Grade One, Ultra Pure 11.5 AWG Multi-Stranded Litz Conductor. RFI/EMI protection is provided on every outlet, and a star-ground design terminating to a 1 kilogram pure copper ground plate. This is the same RFI/EMI ground filtration that Cardas uses on its own flagship power cables.

The case echoes design features from the original Cardas Golden 6A Power Strip, manufactured in the mid-1990’s, which was the impetus behind the Nautilus.

The Nautilus Power Strip is assembled by hand in Bandon, Oregon.

Steven F. ★★★★★

The six outlets let me run my whole two-channel setup off one clean feed, and the lack of current limiting means zero audible strain even when the amp digs in hard. Bass tightened up, background went quieter, and I stopped fiddling with the power situation entirely.

Natalie ★★★★★

Plugged my amp and source into this and the noise floor dropped to almost nothing, which surprised me given I’m on old apartment wiring. Six outlets give me plenty of room, and the fact that there are no current limiting parts in the path means dynamics feel untouched.
