INIU Link Cable with Charging [16ft] for Meta Quest 3s Oculus Quest 3 Quest 2/Pro, Pico 4, PC VR, Steam VR, USB 3.0 High Speed Data Cable, USB C Charger Cord for VR Headset AccessoriesClimatePartner certified

When I got it, it looked like the packaging was cheap but I wasn’t gonna let that scare me so I took out and set it up to test it and oh my it’s probably the best thing ever. Before I would stutter a lot but figured out I just had bad pc specs and wasn’t the previous cables fault hence I upgraded so if you have stutters that’d probably why but I’m not a tech expert. Ran smooth the whole time and stayed at a high battery percentage which was perfect because usually my head set would die in like 2-3 hours but basically this cable is awesome and does its job. I used the meta power adapter with an Apple usb c-c cable to charge it while I played. It feels much better to have a smooth display and not having to worry about the battery 👌.

This thing did it's job well for while i used it. When I started using virtual desktop, that communicates solely over ethernet so this cord didn't get much use after that.The data rate is adequate for using Meta Link, and it will relay power from your actual stock meta quest power cord to charge your headset while playing. It's got a cool LED light that will tell you the status and the right angle connector is actually genius for keeping the cords out of your face while you play.It does all of that. It's good! And for a nice price too.

I have been using this cable for a few years now, and I’ve used it for my Quest 2 and my Quest 3, and it works as intended about 50% of the time on my Quest 3. While data transfer speeds are as expected (usually 2.8ish gbps), reliability is somewhat questionable.When I was using this cable on my Quest 2, it worked really well. The image quality with this cable is good, and if you adjust the Oculus Debug Tool settings appropriately, you can get minimal stuttering. But the Quest 3 is a different story when it comes to reliability.On Quest 3, sometimes the headset does not detect link when the cable is plugged in to a USB port. I do not know if this issue is software related or if it is because of the cable, but I have to plug the cable into my computer BEFORE I open the link menu on my headset. If I open the link menu prior, I have to restart my headset then try again.Another important thing to mention is that the fast charging does not always work. I’ve had a handful of times where about 2 hours into a session, my battery will be at 50%. While this may not be a big deal most of the time, it can be annoying when I’m winding down for a longer session.Should you get this cable? If you have a Quest 2, I think it’s a good budget option that works well. If you have a Quest 3, I would pass on this one and look at another cable.

This cable works as advertised with the Quest 3s. Was able to play a game on Steam VR and keep the charge going at the same time. Price was more than reasonable and led to a smooth transition from my older Oculus Quest.

Being able to provide additional charging power while utilizing pc link for PCVR is super helpful when your local internet provider doesn't offer more than 20Mbps download. Otherwise, I could use it wirelessly.

Update:Customer service has been amazing and offered me a new cable to make up for the faulty one, which works flawlessly.If your planning on using this cable, I strongly recommend just using the charging cable that came with your headset (or a similar one) to avoid the possibility of causing power issues.Previous review:Okay, so I just spent hours trying to resolve a USB connection (dropping) issue that I thought was my computer, but turns out to be a power input issue with the cable. I noticed that amazon had a bundle option for this cable and Iniu's 100W power brick, so I thought, "f* yeah, I won't have power issues!" Turns out, if you try to use the usb-c fast charging ports on it, it's too much power and causes a data connection issue with your PC usb port. Upon using the original power brick from the Quest, it worked completely fine, so I looked at the fine print on the charge brick. Would've been nice if they just included some kind of limiter/resistor in the cable's power connection, but I guess that's what I get for going with a cheaper option.It still works, and means I can link over cable, which was my main goal, so I'm at least happy with that. I just shouldn't have had to spend all night trying to figure out what the issue was, downloading/reinstalling drivers, updating my bios, going through forums, reviews, youtube videos, etc.. just to find out that the cable has a power input limit that I couldn't find listed anywhere.It is possible that my cable has a defective "SmartProtect2.0 chip", or it's just not capable of managing/balancing that much power. Their website suggests a 20W output, but one of the images suggests "24W fast charging while playing". For now I'll just be satisfied with the 18W charging from the usb-a port from the charge brick.

Best thing I've bought for the Quest 3. I bought a Ugreen charger to go with it and a 100w cable and I can play VR games on PC for unlimited time.
