48 Gbps Ultra High Speed HDMI cable with copper conductors plated in 0.5% silver
Forest 48 is a 48 Gbps HDMI cable holding the Ultra High Speed certification from HDMI Licensing. The available bandwidth allows 4K/120, 8K/60 and every other HDMI 2.1 function, along with Dynamic HDR, eARC and video as high as professional 10K Ultra HD.
What makes 48 Gbps possible is a set of four balanced audio/video pairs rated at 12 Gbps apiece. The cable is fully backward compatible with current 4K equipment, which still gains from the materials and the construction. It suits televisions, projectors, soundbars and AV receivers.
Conductors with 0.5% silver
The conductors are solid Long-Grain Copper carrying a silver plating equal to 0.5%. A solid core removes the electrical and magnetic interaction that arises between the wires of a stranded conductor. Across the AudioQuest HDMI range the silver gets thicker from model to model, ending with solid silver, precisely to improve the way noise is dissipated: Forest 48 is the first step on that ladder.
Noise reduction
Not even total shielding protects against interference from Wi-Fi networks and mobile phones. Forest 48 uses Level 1 Noise-Dissipation: all 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled, from the audio/video and eARC signals to the ground-reference drains and on to the control and power lines, to drain radio-frequency noise as efficiently as possible.
Gaming and lengths
Gaming functions such as 4K at 120 frames, VRR, ALLM and QFT are supported, to get the most from PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and gaming computers. Forest 48 is offered in lengths of 0.6 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 3 m and 5 m.
