Review on πŸ”Œ High-Speed Intel-Certified 20Gbps Thunderbolt 3 Cable - 6.6 Feet (USB C Thunderbolt Cable) in White with 100W Charging Support by Scott Rao

Works as an Oculus Link cable

I bought this cable to use for Oculus Link, and it works perfectly.While this cable is more expensive than the 10 foot USB A to USB C Anker cable that Oculus links to from their website, I wanted a higher-quality C to C cable that would be somewhat future-proof. This cable is TECHNICALLY capable of 20 Gbps as stated, but more than likely you will be getting 5 Gbps if you're just using this from a standard USB-C port on a PC into a device (in my case, an Oculus Quest) . In order to get the full 20 Gbps, you will need a USB-C port that is specifically Thunderbolt 3 capable. I suspect that you will already know if your computer is Thunderbolt 3 if you're looking at this cable, but the Cable Matters website lists the full set of compatible computers if you want to check.With all that in mind, this is a very beefy USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable. It's THICK, which gives me confidence that it can handle the stress of being attach to a device that will be moving around a lot. I got the 6.6 foot (2 meter) version of the cable - which is the longest they (currently) offer for this cable - and I should specifically note that Oculus recommends a 10 foot cable to make sure that you can do standing/roomscale VR experiences comfortably. However, I got this cable for testing during development in Unreal - which I will be doing seated in front of my PC - so the length of this cable is perfectly fine for my purpose.This cable is solid and looks like it will last a long time. I'm happy with it.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
