AudioQuest Forest Ethernet Cables

Ethernet network cable with 0.5% silver-plated solid-core wiring and speeds up to 10 Gbps

Forest RJ/E is an AudioQuest Ethernet cable for networked audio systems and for wired connections at home and in the office. It pairs solid silver-plated copper conductors with a first level of noise dissipation and handles speeds up to 10 Gbps, to the benefit of music streaming, online gaming and the transfer of heavy files.

Conductors and noise reduction

The conductors are solid-core, high-purity 0.5% silver-plated copper. A single wire removes the distortion caused by interaction between strands and helps to keep jitter down, while the silver plating helps to lower signal distortion. Level 1 Noise-Dissipation rounds off the construction where interference is concerned.

Connectors

The terminations are gold-plated RJ-45 plugs that give effective coverage of the shield. Reinforced locking tabs stand up to repeated insertion and make installation simple. The cable is compatible with the majority of audio streaming devices that have an Ethernet port.

Uses

As well as between router and streamer, Forest RJ/E has a place in the connection of cameras, home-automation hubs, security systems and smart speakers, where it limits signal dropouts and network interruptions. In online gaming a wired link offers low latency and less jitter than Wi-Fi; in professional settings it serves VoIP telephony, video conferencing and cloud-based workflows.
