Great cable for Quest. Don't use for your phone.

I tend to always go for matching accessories instead of looking fora cheaper option from a third party. This is a prime example of that. While this cable is definitely a bit pricey for what it is, it works well and the build quality is good. Furthermore, if you experience any connection issues, using the OEM cable quickly rules out third party hardware being culprit. My only recommendation is to make sure to ONLY use this for connecting to your Quest headset. While this will work for any other device, such as charging your phone, the way the vertical connector is designed can either damage the cable or your phone if used for charging. This is because the connector is longer than standard which can create pressure on your charging port and the neck of the cable in the event your are holding it near the port while charging, drop the phone and catch it near the cable, or put too much pressure on it. This is easy to do because of the increased leverage with the head being as long as it is.
Besides that, this cable does a great job of providing a stable tether to your PC or to actively charge while playing.

I purchased this item for friend & it seems to be of decent quality. I read online that others were having connectivity issues with cheaper cables so I decided to sprang for OEM & it works as advertised. I still believe that this cable is grossly overpriced & should be no more than $40 & hence it loses a star.

Works as promised. Bought to use Quest 2 on PC. Most of my VR library is from previously owning multiple Rifts. Most PC versions of games look and function better. While the right setup can be okay using the wireless link connection, the cables way is just superior. While it seems possible there are others out there. This is guaranteed by them. The price is hard to swallow. But I can say that I've never had a problem with it. And there has been no sign of twisting or deformation.

No reason to be this expensive given the very average quality. Sat a bit loose on my quest 2, fits better with the 3 for some reason.
No problems with speed, some connectivity issues with Q2 when playing.

Hello there, thank you for your review.
We can see that you are having some issues with the connection on your Quest Link Cable. Please see some handy troubleshooting steps you can take below.
If you're using a USB A to USB C adapter, make sure that it supports USB 3.
Some adapters are only USB 3 if the USB cable is seated in the adapter in one direction. The other may be USB 2.
If you're using a USB C to USB C cable, try unseating and reseating the cable in the port using different orientations, as some ports may only see USB 3 in certain orientations.
If you're using a PCI-E card, make sure that the cable is fully inserted by unseating and reseating it.
If you continue to have issues after attempting these steps. Please get in contact with our support team via the handy link below. One of our advisors would be more than happy to help.

The cable does exactly what I needed, which is to charge and/or play Oculus Quest 2 hardwired to my PC.
Few Things of Note Before You Buy:
- If your computer does not have a USB-C port, even with an adapter you may get poorer quality graphics and probably no power charging during gameplay.
- If you plan to sit in VR for 8 hours straight, turn the brightness down on the Oculus Quest 2 because it charges very slowly while playing.
- There is nothing special about this cable besides it has the Oculus logo and a little velcro strap to wrap around the headset. You are paying $20 - $30 extra for the brand name. Ten minutes of research could save you some money, I have friends using generic cables and they work just as well fine. It's also fine to purchase this cable if you enjoy nice packaging and the L-shaped connector on one end.

The reason I'm giving 4 instead of stars here is that Meta's official link cable works as it's supposed to, BUT if you're wearing the Elite Strap with Battery you must unplug it from the headset first in order to plug in the link cable. Technically this isn't the fault of the link cable but rather Meta's design for the Quest 3 itself (which I must assume to be deliberate as opposed to a blatant oversight from a Trillion-$$$ mega-corporation). Perhaps at some later date a new cable or accessory (which will add still more $$$ to Meta's coffers) will become available to enable users to have the link cable and Elie Strap with Battery plugged in simultaneously, but as it is now it's enough of an annoyance to dock them at least a star here.

Aftermarket cables don’t have the same quality of this one, but this one is a little on the expensive side. Buy it if you NEED it, otherwise use airlink, steam link, etc.

Bit the bullet and bought the "official" Oculus Link cable to use with my Quest 2. Even though the cost is high, I have been satisfied with it, for two primary reasons: (1) it's 5 meters (16 feet) long, plenty of length without having to connect two UBS cables and the issues that might entail, and (2) the cable is quite flexible, much more so than other long USB cables I've used in other applications, which makes using it (and storing it) easier. Do you *need* the $80 cable with a Quest 2? No, there are cheaper options. Does it work well? Absolutely.

It's quite pricey, but it is longer than any other USB C cable on the market. Fairly thick but durable. Might be worth if you have a Oculus to use with this. Offers highest speeds and is standards compliant.

You won't need this unless you're planning on playing PC VR games. You'll also need a USB 3.1 gen 2 Male to type-C female adapter unless you already have a type-C port on your PC. This works great, but there are less expensive versions available.

The cable is very long, so you can play very far away and without fear of damaging the computer, the cable has a amazing quality and resistance, if you can’t use the Bluetooth mode I high recommend.

I purchased this to connect my Oculus Quest (Gen 1) to my HP Omen PC. It works as advertised. The cost is a bit more than third party options, but after reading reviews of third party cables not working in certain ports or not supporting charging, I felt ti best to bit the bullet and purchase the genuine deal. I have no regrets; the cable works flawlessly and the quality and flexibility as exceptional. The length is more than enough and the 90 connector to the headset coupled with the hook and look faster keep the cable out of the way effortlessly. I would absolutely recommend this cable to anyone looking to connect their Oculus to a PC.

Cable works great! Long for vr and a solid stable connection. Issue is the price. It is EXTREMELY overpriced compared to 3rd party cables with half the price, but with somewhat slower speed. Only reason why I purchased this cable instead of the 3rd party is because I wanted to play for long hours so I wanted my vr headset to last longer when connected.
