Habár már márciusban bejelentette a japán gyártó, hogy év végén abbahagyja az un. PCOCC kábelek gyártását, talán nem haszontalan emlékeztetni rá, hogy év végével tényleg abbahagyja a szállítást.

Az audio iparban sok gyártó által használt kábelek így már csak a különböző viszonteladók raktárkészletéről lesznek elérhetőek igen korlátozott mennyiségben.

Notice of Discontinuation of the Manufacture and Supply of PCOCC
March 4, 2013
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. has decided to discontinue the manufacture and supply of PCOCC(note 1)(including wire drawing and part of rolled products) for application in the conductors of acoustic instruments.
Background
Although many customers have adopted the product as a conductor of acoustic instruments, it has been difficult to maintain the business, with the anural sales volume declining because of the weak domestic market in recent years. Without the prospect of market growth, Furukawa Electric has decided to discontinue the manufacture and supply.
We take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the support you have shown this product.
Schedule
- Termination of order acceptance: The end of March 2013
- Termination of manufacture: The end of August 2013
- Termination of supply: The end of December 2013
(note) Should the volume of orders exceed the supply capability, orders will be addressed through individual consultation.
(note 1) PCOCC stands for the Pure Cupper Ohno Continuous Casting Process, which refers to pure copper wires characterized by unidirectional solidification.
