AudioQuest - Forest RJ/E 2.5' Digital Ethernet Cable with RJ45 to RJ45 Connectors - Black with Green Stripes
About this product
AudioQuest Forest RJ/E prepared Cat 7 Ethernet cables use Solid 0.5% Silver conductors, which eliminate strand interaction, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables, for clearer, more dynamic and involving sound. Superior conductor metals minimize distortion thanks to having fewer grain boundaries and fewer impurities (such as oxides) at those boundaries. Solid High-Density Polyethylene insulation helps maintain critical signal-pair geometry. Of course, all AudioQuest Ethernet cables are controlled for RF-noise directionality, efficiently dissipating noise away from the system's vulnerable audio circuitry; arrows indicate the direction (from source to destination) for the best audio performance.
Cable Length
2.5'Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction, a major source of distortion in cables.
0.5% Silver Conductors
Increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuests Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve Noise-Dissipation. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance.
Geometry Stabilizing Solid High-Density Polyethylene
Carefully selected and optimized for its ability within an Ethernet cable to minimize distortion and preserve dynamics.
Individually shielded pairs minimize crosstalk between pairs (a Cat7 requirement). Overall shield around all pairs minimizes outside interference.
Gold-Plated Nickel Connectors with 100% Shield Coverage
Premium, wide-bandwidth connectors further reduce distortion and complement efficient noise-dissipation for clearer, cleaner sound.
Directionality
All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.

ForestAudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. For many applications the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible or carrying enough data for HD video. For Digital Coax audio “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.SOLID 0.5% SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality digital coax cables.HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. ‘Hard’ foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.100% SHIELD COVERAGE (FOIL + TINNED BRAID): Shielding always plays an important role in any cable design

With foamed-polyethylene insulation and cold-welded terminations this AudioQuest GHOUND08 subwoofer cable allows you to connect a subwoofer to a receiver or amplifier with clear signal transfer and undistorted bass response.
