Cheap insurance for my Oculus Rift cables, use them as a breakaway cable and save time and money replacing them.

Bought these as part of the HDMI extension cables for my Oculus Rift. I've heard firsthand that if you accidentally pull too hard on the Rifts cables, the connectors on your headset will break and you'll have to wait a very long time for a replacement! My own wait was about a month and a half, so after that experience I decided to take matters into my own hands and develop a setting so that if I accidentally got the Rift headset cable stuck again, the cable would disconnect, instead of disconnecting, just unplug the extensions and you're good to go. To that end, this cable set is your insurance against lost time with your Rift or replacement costs should you charge for damaged Rift cables. Now, if I accidentally jam wires when entering or leaving my room, the worst that can happen is I have to reconnect the wires on those extensions. The time and money saved when replacing cables is worth every penny! Additionally, you won't notice any lag or performance differences with the Rift when you plug those cables into your headset, which is something most people worry about. I've had nothing but peace of mind since ordering these along with my HDMI extension cables. So if you have accidents where you occasionally get stuck on things, this is something you're sure to love.
