Coaxial Cable Audioquest Forest Digital Coax

AudioQuest Forest, Digital Coax - digital coaxial audio cable/video cable, RCA type connectors, 75 ohms, silver-plated 24 AWG central conductor (0.5% silver), gold-plated connectors, Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation, Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). AudioQuest Forest Digital Coax provides a minimum level of distortion in the widest frequency range, which is an important factor in the transmission of digital signals.
Solid conductors, silvered in a percentage of 0.5%.

Solid conductors eliminate the appearance of distortions caused by the interference of cores, and reduce the jitter of the digital signal front. Solid silver-plated conductors are perfectly suited for applications with very high frequencies, such as transmitting audio and video signals via the HDMI interface. Signals of such a high frequency almost completely pass over the surface of the conductor. And since the surface is coated with silver with a high degree of purification, the characteristics are extremely close to the parameters of a solid silver cable, while the price is only slightly higher than the price of a solid copper cable. 

In all-metal conductors, which are present in AudioQuest Forest Digital Coax, there is no interference of internal cores and signal oscillation is reduced. Solid silver coated copper conductors are great for transmitting an ultra-high frequency signal. Such high-frequency signals almost completely pass over the surface of the conductor. Since its surface is coated with highly refined silver, the overall characteristics of the cable are very close to all-metal silver at a price that is much closer to all-metal copper.

Exclusive AudioQuest Forest Digital Coax insulation made of rigid-cellular foam. 
Its properties are similar to foamed polyethylene, but it contains nitrogen to create additional air cells. Rigid foam is used because the rigidity of the material allows you to keep the interaction between the conductors of the cable at the same level along its entire length. this ensures the constancy of the impedance characteristic of the cable.
The screen is made of aluminum foil and tinned braid.

Shielding always plays an important role in the design of any cable, but in coaxial interblock cables, shielding is especially important because it acts not only as a screen, but also as a return signal path. For this reason, AudioQuest pays special attention to the quality of the screen metal and production technology, as they have an impact on the quality of both sound and image.
