Audioquest Forest USB C to Lightning 0.75m

Audioquest Forest USB-C to Lightning cables are made with the same high-quality materials and design and production techniques as those used for the standard USB cables renowned for their exceptional performance worldwide.

0.5% Silver Conductors

Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Silver-plated conductors are ideal for very high frequency applications, like audio and video. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. Since the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but at a price much closer to solid copper cable. It is an incredibly cost-effective way of manufacturing very high-quality cables.

Hard Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and 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 nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy into the conductor, distortion is reduced. Additionally, the stiffness of the material allows the cable’s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable’s entire length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
