Cable Length
2.5'Semi-Solid Concentric 5% Silver Conductors
Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like USB audio. An incredibly cost-effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-cell foam insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) neither absorbs nor releases energy from or into the conductor, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials, thereby reducing distortion.
Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation
AudioQuests Noise-Dissipation technology significantly reduces the RF Noise that reaches active circuits and causes masking effects.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.

The AudioQuest Forest USB-C to USB-C Digital Audio Cable is designed for those who seek superior sound quality from their devices. Whether you're an audiophile or someone who simply appreciates clear detailed audio this cable promises to enhance your connection and overall enjoyment.Superior Conductivity with Silver-Plated ConductorsAt the heart of the Forest USB-C cable are its 0.5% silver-plated conductors. This design choice minimizes strand-interaction distortion ensuring a cleaner signal path. The high-frequency signals typical in USB audio transmissions benefit immensely from silver's conductivity resulting in a more accurate and immersive sound reproduction.Effective Noise Reduction through Metal-Layer ShieldingUnwanted noise can detract from the purity of your audio. The Forest cable combats this with its metal-layer noise-dissipation system which effectively shields against radio-frequency interference. This means your music remains free from external distortions allowing for a clearer and more enjoyable listening experience.Stable Signal with Hard-Cell Foam InsulationThe integrity of an audio signal can be compromised by energy absorption in the cable's insulation. AudioQuest addresses this by using hard-cell foam insulation which contains nitrogen-injected air pockets. These pockets reduce energy absorption and release maintaining signal stability and minimizing distortion.Precision Engineering with Direction-Controlled ConductorsEvery detail matters when it comes to audio fidelity. The Forest USB-C cable features direction-controlled conductors a design that ensures induced noise is properly dissipated and drained. This meticulous engineering choice contributes to the cable's overall performance delivering sound as
