The AudioQuest Forest USB (A-B) is an entry-level performance digital interconnect engineered to minimize jitter and strand-interaction distortion in high-speed USB audio applications. Designed to connect computer sources, music servers, or network streamers to digital-to-analog converters (DACs), the cable ensures stable characteristic impedance and clean, uncolored signal transfer.

Featuring Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors over Long-Grain Copper (LGC), the cable takes advantage of the "skin effect" inherent in high-frequency data signals to deliver near-pure silver transmission quality. Nitrogen-injected Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) insulation preserves precise signal-pair geometry without absorbing dielectric energy, while AudioQuest's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System shields against radio-frequency interference (RFI) to prevent ground-reference distortion.

KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES

• Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors: Solid-core silver-plated conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction, reducing jitter and phase distortion in high-frequency USB data.
• Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation: Nitrogen-injected rigid foam dielectric maintains exact physical geometry and stable characteristic impedance along the entire cable length.
• Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System: "Shields the shield" by absorbing and reflecting ambient RF noise before it can reach the component's reference ground plane.
• Direction-Controlled Conductors: Grain-oriented conductors are tested and directional-controlled to drain induced RF noise away from sensitive receiving audio circuitry.
• USB Audio 2.0 High-Speed Compliance: Optimized for digital audio and data transfer supporting bitrates up to 480 Mbps at 5V / 500 mA.
