    This type C cable has proven to be a reliable choice for tethering my Quest headset to my PC. Big fan of the 90 deg connection on the one side as I loop it through the back head strap to lock it in place. With no issues in operation, this cable functions exactly as intended. It's a straightforward and effective solution for anyone looking to enhance their VR experience by connecting to a PC. If you need a reliable tethering cable without any frills, the Insignia™ USB-C cable is a solid choice. Only ranking as 4 star since I could've found one cheaper online, but was impatient and went with this one, not disappointed by any means though.

    Pretty straight forward, and it dose the job. My complaint would be on the design of the Quest 2 and how uncomfortable it is to have to plug in and make it work. But the review is for the cable itself, and it's doing what it was intended to do! Especially if you have VR games you intend to play on your Quest 2 headset, that Facebook/Meta doesn't give you the option to play without connecting to your PC.

    Save some money. Oculus cables are overpriced

    I bought the cables for the Oculus virtual reality headset at a high price. They worked well and then I saw the Best Buy brand for the same cable at a much lower price. I bought them and they work well. The cable connections are not quite as secure as the Oculus cables but for the lower price, the Insignia cables are fine.

    The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

    Having previously owned the official link cable, I can say this cable worked just as well as the official. My only complaint is that the cable has a tendency to hold a shape, and kinks easily, though its just as easy to work them out with a bit of time.

    It makes it easier to just keep on playing . I truly don’t understand why there is a need to add when the truth is short and sweet but those cord are long enough that your enjoyment of the system is not halted because the system needs charging

    I got the extended cable to be able to play and charge my Q2 while playing games and this cord is great. It seems to be a stronger wire than most and works well in my game room space. I have the Kiwi suspension system that keeps the wire out of my way when I play. I would recommend this wire if you are looking to game and charge from 16 ft.

    It’s alright, does its job but a side of me wishes I just spent more for the one from Oculus. If you can’t justify spending that much for a cable this one will do fine.
