Works for Oculuc Quest LINK

later I've used this plus a cheap 6ft USB 3.0 to USB-C cable and it works great for the Quest link. Played Half Life Alyx and Bonework quite well. so far without delay. Can't speak for gaming and charging as my cheap cable can't do it on its own. I need to order an Anker cable to test this, I will update this review once this happens. Also, the cable is very thick, not very flexible. So I suggest using this with at least a 6 foot USB-C cable instead of a 3 foot cable.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • I'll write

Doesn't work in Computer Accessories & Peripherals

I had two cheap 3ft USB extension cables between my Logitech C922 camera and they worked fine but were too short so I bought this one" active" USB extension. and replaced, and although the camera briefly showed a picture, it immediately turned itself off. Nothing I have tried will make this cable work. Goed back to shorter cheap cables and all worked fine. So the conclusion is that it either doesn't work with webcams, Logitech webcams, or it doesn't work at all. Packed and sent back.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Good length for VR but sound issues

4 stars because I can't give a 3.5. long enough to maneuver and stick to a wall or ceiling for a 360 degree experience. Especially if you like playing beat saber or other music games, it's easy to spot. I haven't tried games like Half Life Alyx or other horror or shooter games. I wasn't able to stream audio over USB for a while either, but I fixed it by restarting my computer and headset through the Oculus app on PC. Not sure what fixed it, but it worked and that's all that matters. Overall: Aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Zero

Works great with my Rift sensor

Bought this to use with my furthest sensor in my 4 sensor configuration on my Oculus Rift. Now all 4 of my sensors are connected with USB 3.0. I had to replace the sensor as the one I had previously only supported USB 2.0 even on this cable. The active connector on the end is a bit bulky and the connector will come out when the wire is under tension, but when installed correctly the wire is not under tension and stays in. Not a fan of hard plastic packaging. and difficult to open, but that'sโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Negative present

Doesn't work with my Samsung HMD Odyssey Mixed Reality VR Headset

available This doesn't work with my Samsung HMD Odyssey Mixed Reality VR Headset. I was hoping to get more spacing, but instead there were weird stutters in the audio and it seemed like a bug. Tried multiple USB ports to no avail. Disappointing as it was recommended to me. I'll keep experimenting with this just in case I find something that works.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Update

I got this for my wife's Oculus Quest to use with Oculus Link. Was very skeptical at first given the whole debate about using a high end USB fiber optic cable versus using a normal low end USB cable or an active extension cable. This cable consistently delivers 1.8 to 2.0 Gbps throughput across multiple VR machines in my home. The cable doesn't charge the device heavily, so depending on what you're playing you can just slow down the battery drain, for example when I'm playing the Google Tiltโ€ฆ

Pros
  • USB 2.0/1.1/1.0 backward compatible.
Cons
  • disappears

Good length for VR but audio issues

I give it 4 stars because I can't give it 3.5 stars. Pros: 15ft cable fits Oculus Rift CV1, haven't tried the others. long enough to maneuver and stick to a wall or ceiling for a 360 degree experience. Especially if you like playing beat saber or other music games, it's easy to spot. I haven't tried games like Half Life Alyx or other horror or shooter games.

Pros

Cons
  • Obsolete

Works for some things but not all. (Oculus specific)

Like many of the reviews here, I received these specifically to extend the cable on my Oculus Rift. It worked about 80% of the time when used with it, but with a constant crackle in the audio and occasional glitches in the signal, which was enough for games like Beat Saber to have very weird crashes where the graphics would recover, but the game would remain a crash. . . The Rift worked well without it during testing. After reading some advice online from people with similar issues, I replacedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • USB powered - no external adapter needed.
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions
