Product Overview & Specifications
The AudioQuest Forest HDMI Cable engineered with solid 0.5% silver-plated conductors and hard-cell foamed-polyethylene insulation delivers high-speed digital audio and video transfer with exceptional clarity. Designed to minimize timing jitter and strand-interaction distortion, it ensures high-bandwidth transmission for 4K video, 3D, high-resolution multichannel audio, and Ethernet data return.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors: Solid silver-plated conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and significantly reduce jitter, optimizing high-frequency audio and video signal travel along the conductor surface.
- Hard-Cell Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Uses air-filled foamed polyethylene to minimize energy absorption and preserve signal focus and dynamic clarity.
- High-Speed Data Capacity: Supports full 10.2 Gbps data transfer rates (up to 10m) for 1080p, 4K, 3D video, and high-refresh-rate displays.
- HDMI Ethernet & Audio Return Channel (ARC): Fully supports bidirectional Ethernet communication and high-resolution Audio Return Channel functionality.
- Controlled Directionality: Signal conductors are listening-tested and direction-controlled for optimal digital audio performance, with specific reverse-direction orientation applied to ARC channels.
