CableCreationActive USB 3.0 Extension Cable, 5 m USB Male to Female Cable with Signal Amplification Compatible with Oculus Rift/Quest/Quest 2 VR/Link, Valve Index VR, Xbox One, Printers etc. Black

I needed an extension to a microphone's usb cable when doing a surround sound optimization analysis. The cable length at about 16 feet gave me the flexibility I needed, and more importantly, all readings were transferred from my microphone to my laptop perfectly. It did exactly what was promised. Good quality. Very satisfied.

I purchased this along with 3 other DisplayPort and USB extenders (and a DisplayPort coupler) to try to extend the display for my Valve Index. My tests were NOT exhaustive, but all 4 of the options worked.In addition to reviewing this product, I'm also detailing the other options I tested, including price. For anyone else looking to extend their VR system, I hope this helps.In all cases there was no discernable loss of visual or audio fidelity or dropping of frames. Cable length doesn't introduce lag/latency, so no worries there. But ONLY the active DP connector successfully transmitted the signal to the headset successfully / without snow.THIS PRODUCT:USB (5m) ($15.99) - CableCreation Active USB Extension Cable (Long 16.4 FT). Works great, as expected.OTHER PRODUCTS:DisplayPort (10m) ($98.99) - ATZEBE Fiber Displayport Cable 30ft, Fiber Optic Displayport 1.4. This cable diameter is remarkably small, but it performed equally to the 5m LINKUP cable with a wider gauge. The connectors / cable heads produced heat as soon as the cable began transmitting data. This may be by design for thermal management; but if it's not by design this could be problematic. Other than that the cable seems to work perfectly.DisplayPort (5m) ($39.96) - [LINKUP] DisplayPort DP8K DP1.4 Cable (VESA Certified). This cable is kinda thick and very well built. It did the job.USB (10m) ($35.99) - Cable Matters Active USB Extension Cable Male to Female. This worked to extend the VR range even without being plugged in. Note that a power adaptor is NOT included, which legit sucks. But thankfully the Index worked fine without the power boost.DP connector (0m) ($19.99) - Cable Matters DisplayPort Repeater (DisplayPort Signal Booster, DisplayPort Amplifier). This successfully extended the signal an extra 10m for my Valve Index headset.DP connector (0m) ($11.99) - Cable Matters 2-Pack DisplayPort to DisplayPort Coupler. This DID NOT WORK to extend the length of my Index cable.PRODUCT LINKS:ATZEBE DP cable - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QQQFWGT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1LINKUP DP cable - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DX6MF45/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1Cable Matters DisplayPort repeater - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D949F59/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1(not linking to the passive DP connector since it didn't work)CableCreation USB Extension - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0179MXKU8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Cable Matters USB Extension - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMFFL2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This works with PS VR2 PC Adapter. I have it connected to the USB-A slot to extend the adapter away from computer to match my display port cable. Now. Able to keep the adapter and my PS VR2 further away to have room to play

I bought this cable to extend extent the reach of my Rift headset. When I plugged this cable extender into my motherboards 3.1 Gen 1 USB ports, it was casing constant crashes as other have reported. The Rift headset was also no longer showing up as a playback device. Windows 10 and the Oculus app were flagging "the device" as not working correctly. This was the same port my Rift headset was previously using directly without an issue. However I was able to get the headset, with this extender, working correctly when I plugged it into a USB 3.1 gen 2 port.

I bought this to use with Oculus Link. It is connected to my computer to an USB 3.0 port on one end and is then connected to an Anker Powerline USB C to USB 3.0 (recommended by Oculus on their site) onthe other end that connects to my Oculus Quest. This combination works perfectly on my old 2012 computer (i7-3770K@4.3GHz,16GB RAM, 980 ti, MB w/ 4 USB3.0 ports). I get 1.7-1.8GBs using the bandwidth test in the Oculus software. So far I have not had any dropped connections while playing but I must admit that I have only used the Oculus Link feature for about 5 hours so far. I just recently purchased my Oculus Quest so I haven't had time to test this setup more then 5 hours.I tried 3 different cables that were recommended by YouTubers and people on Reddit but non of them worked. This extender with the Anker Powerline USB C to USB 3.0, recommended on the Oculus site, is the only cables I have had any success with.With the extra 16.4 feet this cable adds to the 10 foot cable I am using I have plenty of cable length for VR gaming. 10 feet seems like plenty of length for VR gaming but it runs out really fast. If you want to play VR gaming and don't want your cable ripped out of your computer or VR headset this is your best bet.So if you you're like me and want to use Oculus Link to play PC VR games get this cable extender now.
