AUDIOQUEST FOREST HDMI 48 Gbps

High-performance HDMI 2.1 cable. Resolution above 8K-10K - HDCP 2.2 - HDR - 48 Gbps.

Available lengths can be selected from the drop-down menu at the top right.

The AudioQuest FOREST HDMI is an outstanding value-for-money solution. The 0.5 per cent silver-plated Solid conductors and the care taken in the geometry and performance of the HDMI give the FOREST excellent visual quality, for cleanliness and depth of image.

Like all AudioQuest HDMI cables, the FOREST is directional and uses high-density polyethylene insulation with a very high data transfer rate.

FEATURES

SOLID COPPER CONDUCTORS WITH 0.5% SILVER
Solid conductors eliminate strand-to-strand interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high frequency applications, such as audio and HDMI video. These signals, being high-frequency, travel almost exclusively on the conductor surface. Since the surface is pure silver, the performance is very similar to that of a solid silver cable, but much closer to copper cable. This is an incredibly economical way to produce HDMI cables of the highest quality.

ETHERNET RETURN CHANNEL AND AUDIO ENABLED

HARD FOAM INSULATION
Hard foam insulation (HCF) ensures a critical signal pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Cable and circuit board insulation materials absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Rigid cell foam insulation is similar to the PE foam used in our cheaper Bridges & Falls cables, and is injected with nitrogen to create air pockets. Since nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the entire length of the cable, producing a stable impedance character and further reducing distortion.

HIGH SPEED DATA CAPACITY HDMI
Standards and capabilities have improved significantly since DVI first evolved into HDMI. All generations are backwards compatible. However, not all previous HDMI cables can transmit the 48 Gbps of data required to optimise today's HDMI 2.0 equipment.Audioquest HDMI cables are ideal for very high-speed data transmission. Their bandwidth allows transmission in 8K and 10K.

DIRECTIONALITY
All drawn metal wires or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is discharged from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to each batch of metal conductors used in each AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior audio quality.
