Review on 10ft Dericam Power Extension Cable - Extend Your DC 5V Power Adapter or Wall Charger for Longer Reach! by Shawn Torres

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not suitable for HTC Vive communication box.

3.5mm 1.35mm should be the right size for the computer side of the HTC Vive link box, but this cable doesn't quite fit. Please note that I am talking about a communication unit and not base stations (beacons). The pin end fits perfectly in the communication box. However, the cord coming from the power adapter doesn't quite fit the socket on this extension cord. I can barely get it halfway in with some force and it makes an electrical connection, but it leaves the barrel open and I'm not inclined to trust the connection. Otherwise, it looks like a perfectly twisted cable. I don't know who is responsible for the loose tolerances, so your mileage may vary.
