What can I do when my wired link is unsuccessful?
1. Check if the graphics card meets the wired link requirements.
2. Try restarting the computer.
3. Check if the headset is on low power. If yes, please keep the headset power enough and try again.
4. Check the computer’s USB 3.0 driver and graphics card driver updates, and ensure that the PC software and Quest3/2 are updated to the lastest.
5. Make sure the cable is into all available USB 3.0/3.1 ports and is connected directly to the computer without extra adapters or hubs.
6. Check if Air Link is turned off. If it is not turned off, the wired link performance will be affected.
Pay attention:
If you want to charge your Quest3/2 while playing, the charging capability and overall speed will depend on the quality of your motherboard and your pc power supply. Many motherboard USB ports don’t output as much power as the standalone chargers.
Bought this when the last one got worn out after a couple months this one seems to hold up better but it’s only been a month either way it works just as good and seems to b more durable all in all worth i
Install the Oculus App on the PC, and update it. Make sure your Quest is updated. Start the Oculus App on your PC. Turn on your headset. Make sure Air Link is disabled. Plug the cable into your PC. Plug the cable into your headset. Put on your headset and allow access. The Quest should now be connected to your PC. (Make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements). I’ve tried this successfully on two different computers via a USB 3.1 type-C, and a normal USB 3.0.
As for the cable itself, it is thicker and heavier than I thought it would be. The included Velcro strap is useful for taking strain away from the port on the headset. My preference is to play without the cable, but for games that require it this cable is great, and a fraction of the cost of the official one. It also extends play times: it didn’t charge the headset whilst I way playing, but the battery drained more slowly. For 20 it’s a great accessory.
15 feet cable has a long reach, I use it for my meta 3 headset.
Probably not the cable’s fault that it doesn’t charge while the headset is on just slowly depletes the battery instead so good enough I guess. The bigger problem is the weight of the cable could be on the heavier side and for such a long cable maybe more than one cable tied?
Haven’t fully tested the transfer spped of the cable out yet just been using it as a charging cable so can’t comment on that.
4/5
Bought this for my Quest3.
A very good quality cable, the connectors are solid and the actual cable seems well suited for being thrashed around the room for use with VR.
Worked perfectly with my Quest3 in the front room and plenty of length to use in a larger space.
I really recommend you use the included Velcro style strap to attach the cable to the headset and take the strain off the USB socket on the headset. This is an absolute must as you will quickly break the socket if you don’t take the strain elsewhere.
Because of the long length, it comes with a small velcro tie so that you can ensure that any extra cable is tidied appropriately. I find this quite handy as I always want my gaming setup to be organised.
The quality of the cable and the connectors feel very good overall, especially the 90″ connector that goes on the headset. Not having it sticking out is definitely a plus.
For connectivity, this product comes with a USB-C to USB-C connection by default, but a USB-C to USB-3 adapter is included. However, when the USB-3 adapter is connected, the whole thing seems to be a bit… flexible. I’ve noticed as the cable moves, so does the adapter, so it doesn’t feel too sturdy. You can see how the adapter connection isn’t too straight on the picture I’ve attached on my review.
On a different note, I’ve tried using the USB-3 to USB-C adapter inside of a USB-3 socket, but the connection speeds didn’t reflect that of a USB-3 connection after testing in the Oculus App. This was fixed after I removed the adapter and connected the cable directly into a Type-C port, where the connection speeds practically improved by 7x. I’m not sure if this was just a fault of my computer’s, or it was the adapter.
Overall though this is quite an amazing cable and definitely worth the price, just worth taking into consideration about the connection speeds using the adapter.
