Product Description

Our Piggy Tails are high performance, short interconnecting power cables for use with Swiss Digital Fuse Box or other high current power delivery products only requiring a short distance. 


Piggy Tail - Our base model is a 1ft power cable constructed from 9 separate cores of 16-gauge 8N oxygen-free copper, each plated with 70 microns of extruded pure silver. Designed for ultra-low resistance and uncompromised signal integrity, this cable ensures your system benefits from stable, noise-free power without unnecessary bulk.


Super Piggy Tail - Stepping up from the base model, the Super Piggy Tail refines and expands upon its predecessor with even greater efficiency. Built with 3 cores conductor shaft with built-in oversized high-purity silver-plated oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) square core copper + multi-strand pure copper, it delivers lower resistance, improved current flow, and even better shielding against electrical interference. Ideal for systems demanding more refined dynamics and an even lower noise floor.


Extreme Piggy Tail
- For those who demand the absolute best, the Extreme Piggy Tail takes performance to another level. Available in 1ft and 2ft lengths, it doubles the number of silver-plated oxygen-free copper cores for even lower resistance and superior current capability. The result? Tighter bass, improved transient response, and effortless power delivery to high-current components. 

Try the Piggy Tail Power Cables for yourself in your own home. All products sold by Vera-Fi Audio are covered by a 30-day money back guarantee should you be dissatisfied in any way.

The Closest Thing to Without Fuse

I’m very impressed with the SDFB. I’ve used many high-end fuses before, but most tend to alter the tonality, introduce noticeable midrange distortion, and result in bloated, loose bass. In contrast, the SDFB preserves the original tonality while significantly improving bass performance—offering greater detail, tighter control, and a clear reduction in distortion across the entire spectrum. The soundstage also expands substantially.

I briefly compared it directly with a fuse-less setup and can confirm that while there’s a slight reduction in body and bloom, the SDFB is the closest I’ve heard to running without a fuse.

Big improvement along SDFB

Fundamental and Surprising Improvement!

As a late-comer to the fuse-upgrade culture, I'm glad that I finally stepped into the realm of SDFBs. I currently use a pair of Dutch and Dutch 8Cs sourced by Grimm Audio Mu2 as reference. I replaced all three fuses with SDFB and Graphene Sluggos. On my 8Cs, not only it opened up the soundstage, it did so without any sacrifice, the soundstage is more defined and the presentation is embodied with better clarity and even better focused - large orchestral passages become more layered, the tonality more visceral and congested sections more relaxed without sounding "loose". The additional graphene added to my Grimm Mu2 tightened the overall focus even more and further enhanced the overall realism of my system. This upgrade to me is fundamental and astounding. It ranked among the best upgrades that I'd ever experienced!

Amazing, pretty much sums it up. Everything I’ve read about the SDFB, I found to me true in my 300 b amp.

In my case, it's a necessary accessory to connect the SDFB to my CD player.
The result has been very good.

Great value at such a low price. Dynamic, quiet with great bass. Works well with the SDFB.

It took a while...

Having ordered and installed two of these in the past, one on my Lampizator DAC and the other on my PrimaLuna Evo 400 preamp, I was smitten as these devices made perhaps the largest difference in sound quality for the smallest expenditure I had ever made. So, two more were ordered for my tube mono block amps, they arrived, I installed and both popped as soon as the power was turned on. I contacted Mark and we both agreed that the inrush was too great for the delay so he graciouslly agreed to send me two more with an extended delay to fix the issue. As much as I’d like to say the second set worked perfectly they failed in the same way only it took a little longer. I once again contacted Mark and he then had his engineer get hold of me and we solved the problem by simply doing an amp draw at start up. The new units were designed to work with my amps start up draw and they worked perfectly. My thanks to Mark and his crew for taking the time and having the patience in dealing with this frustrating issue. Now, what have they done for the amps, all I can say is they have an extended range, I am hearing more music, there is a clarity that just wasn’t there before and I find myself listening far more than before. Very pleased with the purchase and very pleased with the company.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Swiss Digital Fuse Box (SDFB)?

The SDFB is a device designed to improve the performance of your audio equipment by eliminating the weakest link in every system, which is the Fuse. The Fuse degrades with time and actually imparts an Impedance in and of itself. The SDFB is MicroProcessor Controlled and uses a State-of-the-Art Hall Effect Sensor to PROTECT your equipment.

How does the SDFB enhance audio performance?

By replacing conventional fuses with a metal rod called Sluggo, the SDFB reduces resistance and allows for better current flow, leading to improved midrange and treble clarity, increased power handling, and a more defined soundstage. We can promise a more refined bottom end as well. 

Is the SDFB compatible with all audio equipment?

The SDFB is designed to be compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. However, it's essential to verify compatibility with your specific devices before installation. Please contact us here. Fuse Box works with gear rated at 500mA to 12 amps, with either Fast or Slow Blow varieties.

How does the SDFB provide protection without a traditional fuse?

The SDFB utilizes a microprocessor coupled to our precision Hall Effect Sensor / and Relay to monitor power flow, automatically opening the circuit in case of anomalies, thus providing protection without the need for a traditional fuse.

Can the SDFB be used in European audio systems?

Yes, SDFB is available in three voltage configurations:

  • 110v, 60Hz
  • 220/240v, 50Hz
  • 220/240v, 60Hz (rare but used in a few parts of the world)

For users in the EU or parts of Asia, we recommend the following setup to ensure optimal performance without the need for adapters:

  1. Input Connection: Use your existing power cord to connect the wall outlet (whether Schuko or 3-blade US plug, as used in some regions) to the input side of the SDFB.
  2. Output Connection: Consider using one of our NEMA 15-type Piggy Tail power cables to connect the output of the SDFB to the IEC input of your audio equipment.

This configuration has been successfully implemented by over 200 SDFB users in the EU, delivering safe and exceptional results.

By following this setup, you can seamlessly integrate the SDFB into your system, enhancing performance while maintaining safety and compatibility.

What is the role of the Piggy Tail power cable in the SDFB setup?

The Piggy Tail is a short power cable designed to connect the SDFB's output to your audio equipment's power input, ensuring a secure and efficient connection.

Does the SDFB require any special installation procedures?

Installation of the SDFB involves replacing the existing fuse with the provided solid copper rod and connecting the device using the appropriate power cables. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines or consult a professional.
