AudioQuest 2.5 Feet Forest USB A To B Digital Interconnect Cable - USBFORESTA2BPOINT75M

AudioQuest USBFORESTA2BPOINT75M 2.5 Feet Forest USB A To B Digital Interconnect Cable

A Compact USB Cable Built for High-Performance Audio

The AudioQuest Forest USB A to B digital interconnect cable is designed to support high-quality USB audio connections in a compact 0.75 meter length. Built with solid 0.5% silver conductors, this USB cable is engineered to help reduce jitter and strand-interaction distortion for more accurate signal transfer. For listeners who want a reliable USB audio cable for their DAC or other compatible device, the Forest series offers a thoughtful balance of performance and value.

Designed for Cleaner Signal Transfer

AudioQuest pairs its solid silver-plated conductors with foamed-polyethylene insulation to help preserve signal integrity. Because USB audio operates at very high frequencies, the cable is built to support efficient surface transmission while minimizing unwanted distortion. The low-loss insulation helps reduce the out-of-focus effect often associated with other materials, making this digital interconnect a smart choice for a refined home audio setup.

Precision Connections in a Green Finish

The Forest USB A to B cable includes precision gold-plated plugs for a dependable connection between compatible components. Carefully terminated for low-distortion performance, it is made to provide consistent results in a convenient, easy-to-manage design. Finished in AudioQuest’s signature green, this 2.5-foot USB cable is a practical solution for connecting audio gear neatly and securely.

Features

• 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, like USB audio. 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 USB cables
• Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
  Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Forest USB uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials
• Terminations
  Precision gold-plated plugs are carefully attached with the very best solder. Through choice of flux and metallurgy, AQ solder has been optimized to make a low-distortion connection. The difference you hear between solders is a result of connection quality. AQ solder does not have a high silver content because the more silver there is in solder, the more difficult it is to make a good connection
• Universal Serial Bus Device Class Definition for Audio Devices
  USB (Universal Serial BUS) was established by a stalwart group of companies such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft (just to name a few) in order to give the personal computing world a truly universal standard and means to connect devices such as hard drives, printers, cameras, and, more importantly to us, audio components. Included in the original description are protocols for the pristine transfer of audio over USB. Great care and sensitivity went into this. Consequently, a computer connected to a USB-enabled digital-to-analog converter can outperform the best compact disc players available today. AudioQuest is committed to contributing products that honor USB's ability to deliver state-of-the-art performance on this new and wonderful frontier
