AudioQuest Forest USB 3.0 A to Micro

Solid 0.5% silver conductorsSolid conductors minimize the harmful effects of both electrical and magnetic interaction between strands. For digital cables, whose signals are so high frequency that they almost exclusively travel on the surface of the conductor, thicker layers of silver plating are applied to the Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors of AudioQuest to further improve noise dissipation. By placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor, this provides the greatest benefit for overall performance - an extraordinarily cost-effective way to maximize a digital cable.

Hard-Cell Foam insulation

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) insulation provides critical signal pair geometry. Any solid material next to a conductor actually becomes part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and printed circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-cell foam insulation is similar to the foamed PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is injected with nitrogen to create air bubbles. Since nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not give or take energy from the conductor, distortion is reduced. Additionally, the stiffness of the material ensures that the cable's conductors maintain a stable relationship over the entire length of the cable, creating a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
