Show 4.0 out of 5 stars Specifically bought this for Oculus Quest tethering Most Oculus-compatible cables only go to 16 ft/5 meters, including the official one. When I saw this used an inline booster to go to 20 feet,Running the Oculus USB Test on this cable, I got varying results. The first time I run it, I consistenly get 750ish Mbps and a note telling me that's too slow. So I run it again, and it's 1.2, which is fine. And I run it again, and it's 1.7 or 1.8Gbps, which is even better. That happens fairly consistently and is apparently not uncommon with other cables, too. So don't give up if it fails the first time -- try another port or simply try the test again.Also, the photo shows this cable coiled, and mine came in a flat box, doubled back on itsself with a 180-degreet zig-zag pattern. I prefer coiled cables so I'll be trying to retrain this cable's memory so it is less prone to kinks or breaks from those hard angles.

Need a three way cable that can connect to the PC and charge from the wall. Reviewed in the United States πΊπΈ on March 26, 2022 To start off ill get this out of the way: The transfer rate is amazing! Reviewed in the United States πΊπΈ on March 22, 2022 Works great for playing oculus quest 2 with steam vr games. Does not charge your headset.

Images in this review Reviewed in the United States πΊπΈ on January 11, 2022 Honestly, the officially branded cord is probably great. However, I am not spending an additional $80 to use a feature that should have been considered when they boxed these up. The cord communicates very well and I have had no
hiccups using it. Super smooth, and the length leaves you plenty of room for standard VR setup. Reviewed in the United States πΊπΈ on December 6, 2020 This is
the best cable so far for use with Oculus Quest 2. I get constant 2.2 GBps connection on a USB 3.0/3.1 port. I like that you do not need a power source for the repeater/relay portion of the cable. Some complained about varying data rates, and that's because some mainboards in the computer aren't using quality USB 3.0/3.1 chip-sets. I had that issue until I added a PCIe USB 3.0/3.1 card in my PC and I get consistent 2.2 GBps connections, sometimes 2.8 GBps. Reviewed in the United States πΊπΈ on September 30, 2021 This is a great cable and has held up very well so far. I ended up buying some Velcro straps in order to make it fit snug against the headset. I'd recommend everyone who is getting this cable to do the same. Reviewed in the United States πΊπΈ on December 10, 2021 I like that it has the braided material on the outside and I haven't had a problem with them yet. Top reviews from other countries1.0 out of 5 stars It worked and then it didn't? Reviewed in Canada π¨π¦ on April 22, 2021 I've had this cable for a little over a week now, and the first time I took it out of the box and put it to use the experience was amazing! The Oculus Link clarity was significantly better than the experience I was having with Virtual Desktop prior. However, on only my third use of the cable, the PC will not detect the Quest 2 as being connected. Additionally, the light on the cable amplifier no longer turns on, so I believe that this issue is being caused by the amplifier. The cable still functions to charge, but no longer works for a data feed which was what I purchased it for. If the cable still functioned as it was on my first use this would be an easy 5 star, however, considering it broke in 1 week I am very disappointed. I'll also add that I treated the cable very gently, and there are no visual indicators of the cable being damage aside from the amplifier light no longer working. 5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the purchase Reviewed in Canada π¨π¦ on March 11, 2021 Best cable for linking. That extra length compared to most make all the difference in the world. I got alot of extra length so if i do get caught on the cable my laptop is not going anywhere. I added an extra velcro to the back of the headset just to remove more movement and tension from the cable connector on the quest. Im paranoid. The cable doesnt collect dirt like the rubber ones and it's light as hell. Way better experience. Its easy to coil up as well because you can almost form it a little. Great product and would suggest everyone who links to get one. 1.0 out of 5 stars straight up bad Reviewed in Australia π¦πΊ on February 27, 2021 its a usb to usb c which makes my games stutter every once and a while. but even worse every so often completely out of the blue it decides to distort the view in my headset causing motion sickness and making any game completely unplayable, the only way to fix it after it happens is to turn my quest fully off and back on, which forces me out of my games, this is really annoying as if it happens on a story based game with saves I have to get sick until i can find a save point. this has been a horrible experience and wouldnt recommend to my worst enemy 2.0 out of 5 stars Workaround Reviewed in Australia π¦πΊ on April 4, 2021 Only works for my quest 2 when I use a usb C adaptor (so it's USB C on both ends), and plug it into the type C port on my computer. Using it as it is I can't get a stable connection for more than. A couple of seconds. Seems fine with the adaptor though, nice and long - but I'm not sure it's particularly high speed. 2.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately I must have gotten a lemon Reviewed in Canada π¨π¦ on March 12, 2021 It seems a few people have had a decent experience with this. But it I got unlucky, the cable simply will not work with my quest 2. The light on the signal booster will turn on and off constantly. But when I try it on my phone, just for charging, it's totally fine. I thought maybe it was my quest so I tried a different not so good cable and it worked, just not good. This leads me to believe that at a higher bitrate the signal booster is failing and causing it to disconnect. the whole thing seems durable enough, But I feel I may have just gotten a faulty product, Otherwise I think it would have been great :( How do you play Quest 2 with link cable?Select System and scroll down to Quest Link.. Download the PC app and click Download Software below Link Cable and Air Link.. Open the desktop app on your PC.. Turn on your headset.. Plug your USB 3 cable into a USB 3.0 port on your PC, then plug the other end into your headset.. Why is my Oculus Quest 2 Link cable not working?- Restart the headset (long press power button, select Restart), then the PC. Also try reversing the order of restarts. - Unplug and replug the cable from the back of the PC, not from the front of the headset (sounds weird but on my system it matters which end of the cable you re-plug).
How do I connect Quest 2 to my computer?Once you've turned Air Link on in your Quest 2 headset, go back to your main Settings and open the new Air Link option to see a list of nearby PCs. Press your PC and check to see if the code on your headset and PC screen match up. If they do, slip the headset back on and hit "Confirm" to finish pairing the devices.
