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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHard-Cell Foam Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHard-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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll Conductors Controlled for RF Noise Directionality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal (USB A-B):\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-Plated Solid Copper - 0.5% Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal (All Others):\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-Plated Semi-Solid Concentric - 0.5% Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard-Cell Foam (HCF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise-Dissipation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal-Layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black PVC with Green Stripes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/audioquest-cable-limited-warranty-us.pdf?v=1670519412\" title=\"AudioQuest Product Warranty Page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAudioQuest Limited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"USB-A to USB-B 0.75 Meter","offer_id":31888219209803,"sku":"65-087-12","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"USB-A to USB-C 0.75 Meter","offer_id":31888219242571,"sku":"USBFOR20.75CA","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"USB-A to MicroUSB 0.75 Meter","offer_id":31888219308107,"sku":"USBFOR0.75MI","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"USB-C to Lightning 0.75 Meter","offer_id":31888219340875,"sku":"LTNUSBCFOR0.75","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USB-C to USB-C 0.75 Meter","offer_id":31888219373643,"sku":"USBFOR20.75CC","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"USB-A to Lightning 0.75 Meter - Open Box","offer_id":41268087652427,"sku":"LTNUSBFOR0.75-OB","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/products\/AudioQuest-Forest-USB-USB-C-and-Lightning-Cables_3eedd403-6989-4cd7-9e2c-ae7b24e49c3b.jpg?v=1629232862","url":"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/audioquest-forest-usb-cables","provider":"Bloom Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
