Perfect for high end custom installs over short or long cable runs the AudioQuest HD6-Forest Aerial cable connects your TV or digibox to your aerial socket.

AudioQuest HD6-Forest Aerial Cable - Custom Length

 

The AudioQuest HD6-Forest aerial cable is supplied in a white CL3 PVC jacket, wrapped in a shield of 90% covergae of Foil + Braid. The metal within is 0.5% Silver with a gauge size of 18 AWG. We finish the cable off by using the ITC-18 Gold-Plated Connectors which are used to maximise signal transfer and ensure a reliable long-term connection. A true 75 Ohm cable construction ensures faithful picture and sound transmission. Perfect for high end custom installs over short or long cable runs the AudioQuest HD6-Forest Aerial cable connects your TV or digibox to your aerial socket for sharp, vivid pictures and dynamic sound.

 

Hard-Cell Foam Insulation:

Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. ‘Hard’ foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

 

90% Foil Shield Coverage (Foil + Braid):

Shielding always plays an important role in any cable design, but the shield on coax interconnect plays an especially important role because it functions not only as a shield but a return path as well. Because of this, AudioQuest pays special attention to the shield’s metal quality and the fabrication techniques as both will affect the sound and the picture.

  • Length: Custom Length
  • Metal: 0.5% Silver

Right Angled Plugs

Please note, due to the limited availability of right angled male and female coax plugs, we use grey nickel based plugs which are not gold-plated. We have supplied these to customers for over 10 years and they are a great solution if plugs need to be inserted at an angle for ease of installation.
 
 

About AudioQuest

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

I am very impressed with the company and staff. I ordered an aerial cable, which arrived very quickly, but unfortunately, I had ordered the wrong connections!

I rang and spoke to Geoff who was very helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable, he advised me as to the correct parts needed and arranged for it to be despatched that afternoon.. it arrived next morning and fitted perfectly so our new TV was up and running within 24 hours of speaking with Geoff. The return of the incorrect one was sorted out and returned after Christmas!

Thank you to Future Shop for all your help and support. We will definitely recommend you should the need arise.

Does what is supposed to do
16 Feb 2023
Verified Buyer
I bought this to replace a RA V21 area cable as it was too short after repositioning the TV. Seems decent quality and inexpensive compared to the RA cable. There were a few minor problems with the wrong fitting for the TV plug end resulting in a new cable being supplied, and the wrong one returned.

Jeff sorted things out, apologised for the error, and handled the problem professionally. A slight disappointment but nothing that would warrant a poor rating or dissuade me from purchasing from Futureshop again

Effective at a Not Too Expensive Price Level
7 Jan 2023
Verified Buyer
I needed a properly shielded aerial cable, cut to 5m in length for my Freeview recorder, after getting glitches on a lot of channels with the old cheapie I'd originally bought.

Adam recommended this one as doing the job while not as expensive as the QED alternative. The problem is now solved.

Quick turnover and delivery over the Xmas period were better than I had expected, given the postal strike. I'd heartily recommend Future Shop.

The TV aerial signal for BBC 1 and 2 kept dropping off or not being received at all. Other channels were fine.

This was despite an auto search for channels several times. Following excellent advice, I purchased a bespoke coaxial cable, straight-ended, which has completely cured the problem. Reasonably priced for a great product.

Signal Satisfaction
2 Oct 2022

I have a new TV with a new TV stand, and the cables are all bunched up behind. The signal was breaking up and unwatchable, and the cheap cables not being shielded were the obvious cause. After installing the AudioQuest aerial cables, it is PERFECT!

Excellent retailer, Excellent cable
30 Aug 2022
Verified Buyer
Futureshop.co.uk is a good website, the product is well described, has excellent communication, and is delivered as promised (a bit quicker, actually). I will definitely buy from them again.

The AudioQuest cable has good quality coaxial connectors/termination with good cable shielding. My homemade aerial cable had poor quality connectors, which often worked lose as I altered the angle of the TV on the wall-mounted swivel arm.

The AudioQuest connectors have a far better/tighter fit, which has improved signal strength and, as a result, no more pixelation. I purchased male coax to right angle plug. The right-angle plug didn't fit on my Samsung TV as hoped, but this is due to poor location of the aerial socket on the TV. The right angle is now on the wall socket, reducing the cable's stress.

This is an excellent cable at a sensible price.

Forest install aerial cable
10 May 2022

I bought three made to measure lengths to tidy up my Virgin cable installation. These replaced many overlong, and ancient bits of wet string hung together with adapters and extenders. I also replaced the Virgin supplied splitter box with an Audioquest one.

Very pleased with the results; whilst it’s not a night and day change, there is definitely an improvement in picture quality, especially with standard-definition programs.
I’m upgrading my TV and need to be sure the Virgin feed is as good as I can get it.

Very happy with the cables and Futureshop’s service.

Excellent Cable & Service
13 May 2021
Verified Buyer
I already had some of these cables in my system, connected to my satellite tuners & FM tuner. The FM tuner has recently been replaced by a Rotel DAB/FM tuner, requiring a different termination (F Conn). Rather than modify the existing cable, I opted to purchase a new cable with the required terminations.

The cable arrived two days later, having been custom built, together with some other custom built cables which I had ordered at the same time.

Until the new cable arrived, I had been using the indoor antenna which was supplied with the Rotel tuner. This was giving rather poor results, with a hissy sound in FM & an almost unusable signal with DAB. With the new AQ cable, the hiss was gone from the FM, & I got the full 5 bars in DAB, with a nice, clear sound. No surprise there, but it does show what difference a decent cable & antenna can make.

Build quality is good, thoroughly recommended cable & retailer.

Positive experience
3 Feb 2021
Verified Buyer
I had a very positive experience in dealing with Futureshop. Bought this cable to replace a cheap 'off the counter' coax interconnect.

The audioquest cable instantly provided a stronger, interference free signal and stopped all sorts of issues such as station drop out and bad screen pixelation. If you are looking for a shielded coax cable, look no further.

I have used both Future Shop and AudioQuest previously, and both are the go to if you need quality interconnects.

Excellent Quality Aerial Cable
11 Apr 2020
Verified Buyer
I purchased this AudioQuest Forest TV cable as the cable I was currently using that I purchased from Argos was absolutely dire to say the least I was having to use a signal booster just to get a decent TV signal I looked on the Futureshop's website to see what TV aerial cables were available I came across this AudioQuest cable and decided to purchase it and I am so glad that I did what a boost in picture quality! Vibrant colours and sharper detail especially on HD channels gone is the aerial signal booster which has now been made redundant! If you are looking for a very good quality aerial cable I can highly recommend this AudioQuest Forest cable.

Many thanks to Adam speedy delivery and good old fashioned customer service! Which is now very hard to find nowadays! I have purchased from FutureShop on many occasions and can highly recommend them for quality and service!
