Audioquest Forest 18 HDMI (HDMFOR07.5A)

The AudioQuest Forest 18 is a high-performance HDMI 2.0b cable designed for demanding audio and video applications, featuring a bandwidth capacity of 18 Gbps and an impressive length of 7.5 meters. This cable utilizes solid conductors coated with 0.5% silver, optimizing signal transmission for high-frequency HDMI audio and video signals, where the signals primarily propagate along the surface of the conductors. The silver coating provides performance comparable to solid silver cables while maintaining cost efficiency similar to copper alternatives. The hard-cell foam insulation technology ensures stable geometry of the signal conductor pairs through nitrogen-injected air pockets, minimizing energy absorption and distortion. This insulation maintains consistent conductor relationships throughout the entire cable length, resulting in stable impedance characteristics and reduced signal degradation. The cable supports Ethernet connectivity and Audio Return Channel functionality, making it compatible with modern home theater systems. Backward compatible with earlier HDMI standards, it meets the 18 Gbps data transfer requirements for HDMI 2.0 devices and can handle 4K/60-4:4:4 content as needed by source devices like UHD Blu-ray players. The green construction emphasizes durability and reliable performance for both professional and private installations, where signal integrity over long distances is crucial. With the model number HDMFOR07.5A, this cable represents AudioQuest's commitment to high-quality audio-video connection solutions that prioritize signal purity and transmission accuracy over greater distances.
