Q: QuestionI bought 2 of these to use with my XBOX Sereis X becuase I wanted to use my corded controller. Funny how either one worked great alone, but when I used them together I got nothing. Must be a length limitation thing. Any ideas?

Asked 1 year ago by pdqneon.

• A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! Using two Insignia™ 12' USB 3.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cables together to extend the length for your corded controller on the Xbox Series X may result in connectivity issues due to factors such as signal degradation, power limitations, or USB 3.0 length restrictions. To address this, consider using an active USB extension cable with built-in electronics to boost the signal over longer distances, ensuring a strong and stable connection. Alternatively, a powered USB hub between the two extension cables can help deliver enough power to your controller, preventing voltage drops over long distances. If possible, opt for a shorter extension cable, as USB 3.0 cables have a recommended maximum length of about 9.8 feet (3 meters) for optimal performance. Using a single longer active USB extension cable, rather than two passive ones, can maintain signal integrity over greater distances. Additionally, using a USB repeater, which regenerates the USB signal, can allow for longer connections without data loss. Finally, ensure the cables are of high quality and rated for USB 3.0 to provide adequate shielding and performance. These solutions can help maintain a stable connection for your corded controller over extended lengths.

Q: QuestionWill I be able to extend my oculus link cable to my PC and still have oculus link work?

Asked 4 years ago by Auden.

• A:Answer This cable may work, but 10 feet and under total length is recommended so you don't lose signal strength. If you have the option this works much better: using a computer that has an ethernet cable to it and can put out wifi (like a hotspot), you can turn on the wifi and use it for wifi to the Oculus. After hooking up the Oculus to the computer with the wire the first time, you can hook up to your PC wirelessly using steam or by using other wireless desktop methods.
