INIU 16ft Premium VR Link Cable with Charging, USB 3.0 Compatible with Meta Quest 3s, Oculus Quest 3/2/Pro, Pico 4, PC VR & Steam VR - Perfect White VR Accessory, Choice

Fits the Quest 3S perfectly and the supplemental USB-C connector keeps the headset at 100% while in use when used in conjunction with the stock USB-C wall adapter. Very good quality lead. I personally like braided cables so I'm happy with that. The cable is relatively stiff / firm. It is flexible but not like a soft silicon cable. The Connectors are all good quality and they have been terminated well. Overall an excellent cable at a very competitive price. I did a fair amount of research before I bought it and it works perfectly. High data rate when I plug it into my PC. My motherboard has 3.1 ports for Standard USB size connections and a 2-off USB C as well and there's absolutely no bottleneck from this cable. Great for PC-VR which is probably why you are buying this and what you actually want to know. The supplementary USB-C power on the side of the cable makes it possible to use your headset at 100% all the time. It's cheap and definitely one of the good ones. Recommended.

This cable is well made and very long, which are things you pretty much need when hooking a PC to a Quest. This has worked like clockwork and while not as "convenient" as streaming from the PC, it's a better experience for fidelity and I've not had issues navigating around the cable in VR at all.

I purchased a INIU 5M VR Link Cable for £17.99. I am using it to connect my Meta Quest 3 to my tower PC. The cable length is great and allows me to move in a 3m by 3m area with the cable remaining loose and about 1m of the cable being used to reach from my PC to the edge of my playing area. Without connecting the Meta charging cable, the Quest 3 slow-charges using power supplied by the PC. When connecting the Meta charging cable, the Quest 3 fast-charges and appears to charge at a high enough rate than the battery level remains static, or increase, during extended periods using the Quest 3. The advertised built-in SmartProtect2.0 chip appears to be non-functional as the Quest 3 continues charging to 100% rather than the claimed "safe battery range of around 78%" (this is why I have given 4 stars rather than 5 stars). The Meta Horizon Link application's USB Test reports 3.1 Gbps when I connect the cable to the fastest USB port on my PC (a 10 Gbps capable USB port on the rear panel of an Asus B550-F motherboard). I understand that around 3 Gbps is as good as it gets with a Quest 3, so this is a great result for this link cable. The USB Test reported only 2.3 Gbps when I tried the cable using a front-panel USB 5 Gpbs port (via motherboard header), so it is worth trying different USB ports to find the fastest (probably the one closest to the CPU). The cable appears to be robust and sturdy, so hopefully the wires inside won't become kinked or otherwise damaged during normal use. Obviously one needs to be careful to avoid stepping on or tripping over the cable during play. The cable has a very bright green LED at the end connected to the Quest 3. This could be disturbing (especially if sleeping in the same room as the cable), so it might be necessary to either disconnect the cable or somehow cover the light (e.g. masking tape). The problem of modern devices having always-on over-bright LEDs is a very common affliction, so I have not docked any stars (but I wish manufacturers would provide some way for consumers to turn these LEDs off). Dispite the issues mentioned above (SmartProtect2.0 appears non-functional; always-on over-bright green LED), I am very happy with the INIU 5M VR Link Cable and would recommend it for use with a Meta Quest 3.

Nice solid, smart looking cable. Great build quality and more than adequate length for my use case (seated VR driving sims). The 90 degree connection at the headset will relieve a lot of pressure on the headset input. A small cable tidy tied round the arm of the headset, further back from the usb post, can be left in place and this cable fed through it when connecting. This will take any additional strain from the usb connection. The cable will provide a trickle charge slightly prolonging battery life while connected to a pc but requires an additional usb c cable connected from a wall socket to the 'pc' end of the cable in order to actually charge your headset while playing. I don't bother with this personally, but the option is nice to have. Green power light at headset end of cable is quite dim and certainly no distraction while using the headset anyway. It is more convenient for checking the connection is good when first plugging in to the headset. The usb cable alone will steadily charge the headset while the headset is fully switched off but left connected to a pc that is powered on. I bought 2 of these cables for convenience to use in 2 different locations and managed to catch it on sale both times. Although I wouldn't hesitate at full price, if I needed a third, as it is excellent value for money compared to the meta branded version.

While using the quest 3 the battery remains charged for as long as needed. Used other charging cables before, but they did not keep the headset charged. This one does.

Great wire so far, quality of the material is great, very sturdy and plenty of length for movement, highly recommend this

After my initial problem (review below) I was contacted by Alice in support and was sent a replacement cable. The new cable did not have the freezing problem of the first cable and has been working fine for tethered PCVR with my Quest 3. After playing for some time I quit out and found that the Quest still had 100% battery charge which is the main selling point of this cable. Very happy with the cable as well made and retains Quest charge for longer gaming sessions! Great support too. Original review: Looks well made and love the idea that it can charge and provide Quest link for sim racing at same time. However, when activating Quest link I get a weird jagged border around the screen (when looking through headset) and then the link freezes. Have tried re-plugging it in (both ends), resetting the software, and restarting PC but same results every time. I switched back to my old USB lead and all works fine. Have a decent PC with a 4070 super GPU and Quest 3. Will have to return it.

This cable has been good when it did work; I appreciate the ability to keep charge whilst not wearing out the headset battery as much as a simple charger. However, after a year and a half, it would not provide video, and six months later it no longer provides power, either. Not bad value, since many other cables do not last forever either.
