AudioQuest Forest USB C-B Cable

AudioQuest :USB-Forest (C TO B) (USB 2.0)
For
many applications, the speed of digital communication is important.
Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as
possible, or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and
for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast,
but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to
the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music
and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information
within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D,
harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.
AudioQuest
USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction
techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve
“Best-In-Class” recognition worldwide.
With
the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many
devices, AQ’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to
connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, ChromeBook, Pixel,
Galaxy Note 7, etc.
In
addition, ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a newly developed
strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable
and plug.
Features
Semi-Solid Concentric 0.5% Silver Conductors
Semi-Solid
Conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and reduce
jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very
high-frequency applications, like USB audio and video. 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 100% silver cable, but priced
much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective
way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-Cell
Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. 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 from or into the conductor,
distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows
the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the
cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further
minimizing distortion.
