Meta Quest Link Cable – Works with Meta Quest 3/3S/2/Pro – 16ft (5m) – Premium fibre-optic cable – Access PC VR games – Up to 5 Gbps bandwidth

Having read many reviews on here relating to the Oculus Quest 2 link cable, seemly many people don’t understanding or have the technical knowledge relating to dual function data and power transfer cables (not surprising really as the cable connectivity world has become utterly mind boggling) and whilst I’d agree this cable is on the expensive side its actually totally designed to do the required task, but moreover and I feel it’s important to understand, this expense is because active cables (active cables support much longer reach than their passive equivalents), cables capable and used for both data and power transfer are far more expensive to produce than passive cables (passive cables are liable to degrade data they carry).This branded 5 metre (16.40 feet) of premium spiral shielding fibre-optic core link cable delivers exceptional performance for PC VR gaming on your Quest 2 whilst powering up the headset. It’s lightweight and highly flexible in comparison to many of the unbranded cables available, many of which also do not offer charging capabilities. I also found no channel impairments including attenuation, crosstalk, noise, irregular fluctuations, minimal signal loss and group velocity distortion with this cable.With Oculus ‘O’ branded high-quality link cable and the Velcro hook and loop fastener, Quest 2 feels and acts like a proper tethered headset, like it was meant to be used this way. Your computer requires a USB-C port providing sufficient current and you’re going to need USB 3 – C adaptor (which is not included in the box) if you don’t have a USB-C port. This link cable came nicely packaged in an Oculus branded box, and email order information and service by Amazon was highly professional and premium delivery swift as ever.So in conclusion, I feel this is an actual case of paying more for something, but in every sense getting what you paid for, offering blistering-fast data speeds while powering the headset at the same time, and being one of the longest USB-C 3 cables, therefore allowing you to move freely to every corner of your playing space. I’m therefore happy to submit this product review and recommendation to fellow would be purchasers.

This cable surpasses the unofficial ones I've used. Though it is pricy, which kept me away from it initially, the total money spent trying to get a decent cable is much higher now than I would have paid had I opted for the official one in the first place.I would recommend it as it is compatible with all Quest generations that require a cable.

I purchased the Quest 2 on the 19th of November as it was recommended as a good entry device for VR. I bought this with the view to purchase this cable and mainly play VR games on steam. I have been using it for approximately 2 months and now the cable has stopped working. I have isolated the issue as being solely that of the cable alone as the output on my computer works perfectly.

If you own an Oculus Quest and a gaming PC then chances are that you might have tried out Oculus Link. I've used a selection of different cables with Oculus link with mixed success, some of the cables are too thick/heavy, some are too short, some have a USB repeater halfway through or some of them simply don't work properly at all.Being an Oculus genuine product I had little doubt that this cable would work but it is very expensive. It's unlike most other cables out there in the sense that it contains a fibre optic inside for the data so it should make the cable much lighter. It's a little thinner, lighter and more flexible than some of the other cables I own but you can't tell there's a fibre optic in there. You do need to be careful not to bend the cable too much though because that may damage the fibre optic inside.One thing that to bear in mind is that this is a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable. Annoyingly Oculus do not provide a USB Type-C to USB A adapter with the cable which is actually outrageous at this price point! A lot of people's front USB ports on their PC are USB A and not USB Type-C, I only have USB Type-C ports at the back of my PC which means losing a metre or so of cable. I had to buy a USB Type-C to USB A adapter (ASIN B083DS8GDH seems to work).Being able to play PC VR games, such as Half-Life Alyx or Asguard's Wrath on the Oculus Quest 2 is amazing but going back to the cable is a little immersion breaking. However, I have found using this cable to charge the Quest 2 whilst playing slow paced games like Walkabout Golf or Pro Putt works well and doesn't interfere with the gaming experience too much.One thing many users don't know about is an application called Virtual Desktop which can be side loaded on the Quest 2 and allow you to play PC VR (i.e. Steam) games over 5Ghz Wireless to to your PC. I always suggest checking that out. There's a bit of config to do and it's not perfect but it's definitely a step in the right direction for wireless PC VR gaming.Pros:- It feels decent quality- Works well with Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus Link to PC and is more reliable than other cheaper cables I've tried- Can be used to charge the headset whilst playing Quest 2 games- Slightly thinner, lighter and more flexible than other cablesCons:- Expensive, like other Oculus Quest accessories- No USB Type-C to USB A adapter supplied

used to top up my meta quest 3 headset, no issues and long enough cable.

I've only had the cable for around a month and one of the ends just came off entirely. The £15.99 cable I used before lasted a year without any issues. Save your money and just buy a cheaper brand cable, the performance is not noticeably any better and there is no guarantee of a better build quality reflecting the price of this cable.

This is one of those things where you get what you pay for. Having bought a cheaper alternative that claims it's "This is the next best alternative to the official Oculus Quest Link Cable." I can categorically state that it isn't. In this case there's nothing better than the genuine article. I know it's not the cheapest but there's a reason for that. If you want to enjoy your expensive Oculus Quest 2 headset on a PC you'll want to get this cable. You can always try the WiFi 6 method but that's another kettle of fish altogether.
