About this item

Written by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves

Dependable quality andperformance

AudioQuest's Forest USB cable is designed to improve high-res signal transfer. USB Type C connections are fast becoming the norm on many devices because of their incredibly high transfer rate. This Forest cable ensures those transfers also occur with minimal noise and interference. And their design reduces the timing errors or "jitter" that can digital music sound less focused.

Superior build quality

AudioQuest is known for their superior build quality, and this Forest USB cable is a great example. It features solid-core conductors made of high-purity Long-Grain Copper, which is plated with a very thin layer of silver. High-frequency audio and video signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductors. This surface layer of high-purity silver brings the performance of Forest very close to that of a solid silver cable, but it's priced much closer to solid copper cables.

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) insulation keeps energy from leaking out of the conductors, preserving signal strength. And both the cable and conductors are reinforced to prevent strain and keep the connections solid.
