AudioQuest FORESTCOAX3M 9.9 Feet Forest Digital Coax Cable
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. 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 digital coax cables - Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. 'Hard' foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent - 100% Shield Coverage (Foil + Tinner Braid)
Shielding always plays an important role in any cable design, but the shield on coax interconnect plays an especially important role because it functions not only as a shield but a return path as well. Because of this, AudioQuest pays special attention to the shield's metal quality and the fabrication techniques as both will affect the sound and the picture - Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment's ground plane - Terminations

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The cable uses solid 0.5% silver-plated conductors which provide excellent performance for high-frequency digital signals by allowing the signal to travel primarily on the conductor's surface. This design closely matches the performance of solid silver cables while offering a more cost-effective solution.
-
The cable features Hard-Cell Foam insulation, which is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets, providing stiffness and stability. This ensures the conductors maintain consistent spacing along the cable length, preserving the characteristic impedance and enhancing signal integrity.
-
It has 100% shield coverage consisting of a foil layer plus a tinner braid. This shielding design not only protects against radio frequency interference but also functions as a crucial return path, improving overall signal quality and reducing noise.
-
Yes, the cable incorporates a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) which effectively prevents captured RF interference from affecting the equipment's ground reference, thereby minimizing noise and preserving signal clarity.
-
The cable terminations are cold-welded and gold-plated which ensures a secure, low-resistance connection that resists corrosion and enhances durability over time.
