Meta Quest Link Cable – Virtual Reality Headset Cable for Quest – 16FT (5M) – PC VR

Stable connection, long length, lightweight, and charging capable!
After trying many different cables, this is the cable I’ve landed on and it works flawlessly! The Meta Link cable uses fiber so it is able to deliver USB 3.0 5Gbps speeds at a much longer range than copper based cables. Also if you have a power delivery USB-C port on your desktop/laptop then you will be able to keep the headset charged while playing.Other USB C to C cables use copper so they are much thicker/stiffer and can’t go as long (longest I found was only 2.5M).The Meta Link cable is very light and flexible and also comes with a little cable strap, so you can tie it to the side of your headset so you don’t feel a cable pulling down on the headset.I am very happy with this cable due to its:* length, which allows me to cable manage it around my desk and into my sim rig* weight, which makes it easy to forget about when using* ability to charge while playing (granted you have a power delivery port)* stable connection, I’ve raced hours at a time without any hitchesI know this cable is pretty pricey, but you get a really high quality cable for it. If you’re really budget conscious, search Amazon for fiber USB C to C cables and you will likely be able to find cables for slightly less (but still more than a copper cable). But remember a high quality copper cable will be stiffer and can’t delivery high speeds at a longer length!

Superior Comfort, Seamless Compatibility
After trying out a few third party accessories which always turned out to be junk, I caved and bought the official Meta Elite Battery Strap. And boy am I glad I did! It has a very premium look and feel and is very sturdy, unlike the flimsy third party straps which felt like they were going to fall apart. This thing extends your battery life by ~2 hours, basically doubling your battery life, it is much more comfortable than the stock strap, and what I really like about it is that the battery from the strap is used first, before the headset. You can also see the battery level of the headset and extended battery separately inside the headset. You can charge this battery strap and the headset at the same time and using only one cable, and it’s also worth mentioning that the Meta official charging dock actually charges the strap AND the headset at the same time! I will be going with Meta official accessories from now on as that seems to be the way to go! Sure it’s a bit on the pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for with these Meta official accessories!

Cable works great, BUT…
The cable works great for both charging the Oculus Quest 2 and providing Oculus Link connectivity to your headset for playing PC VR titles. BUT, it’s practically worthless at this price! Here’s why:The Quest 2 comes with a charging cable that works perfectly well for charging the headset and providing data access for things like SideQuest, an app that allows you to sideload (install without using the Oculus app) apps and games on to your headset.The Quest 2 also supports the WiFi 6 wireless standard. If you have a WiFi 6 wireless router, you can use an app called Virtual Desktop to play all your PC VR games without the need for a wire running down your back. The latency is incredibly low, making for an amazing completely-wireless Link gaming experience.If you don’t have a WiFi 6 wireless router, you can still use Virtual Desktop and play your games completely wirelessly! The latency is slightly higher and the bandwidth is lower (you may need to drop your graphical settings to get it to play right) but still completely enjoyable for everyone not playing in competitive gaming tournaments.There are two advantages to this cable over using your Quest 2 wirelessly: latency is virtually eliminated when playing over wire, and trickle charging your headset while in use. Most reviewers agree that the cable works perfectly well for Oculus Link gameplay (though some argue playing through Virtual Desktop wirelessly instead of through Oculus’s Link interface is actually faster). And while plugged in, your Rift 2 battery gets a partial charge while plugged in. That’s not to say you can use the headset indefinitely; the battery still drains faster than the cable tops it up. But it does allow for longer gameplay without having to buy an external battery pack or the expensive Elite Strap with Battery.tl;dr: this is a very expensive USB cable that almost no one really needs. If you don’t have a PC, or PC VR games you want to play on your Quest 2, don’t buy this. If you have a relatively new wifi router that offers 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections, don’t buy this (get Virtual Desktop from the Oculus Store instead, and find a youtuber that can show you how to play PC games wirelessly). If you need absolute-zero latency for competitive gaming, then this is the closest you’ll get.

Good quality. Fast sale & shipping.

Fazit: Sehr gutes Ding. Nahezu perfekter Komfort. Dennoch billiges Gefühl und sehr teuer.Vorteile:- Absoluter Game-Changer. Zusammengefasst ändert sich einiges mit dem Komfort im Gegensatz zu dem originalen Riemen.1. Viel einfacher anzupassen: Einfach das Rad hinten drehen. Viel besser als das originale.2. Sobald es gut angebracht ist, merkt man, dass es besser sitzt. (Ich trage eine Brille, und muss sagen dass es nicht mehr so abrutscht wie früher. Ausserdem hat der originale Riemen mir konstant auf die Brille gedrückt und sie sogar leicht verbogen mit dem ganzen Druck). Ausserdem passt es besser auf das Gesicht, weswegen man den Ausschnitt der Nase weniger sieht, was einen mehr auf das Spiel konzentrieren lässt. Das Gewicht ist wie versprochen auch viel besser verteilt und es rutscht nicht mehr wenn man seinen Kopf schnell bewegt. Letztens kann ich noch erwähnen, dass sich das Headset mit dem Elite Riemen besser auf- und absetzen lässt.Nachteile:- Billiges Gefühl: Ist mir noch nicht kaputt gegangen, aber es fühlt sich so an als könnte es jeden Moment kaputt gehen. Leicht biegbar (wahrscheinlich aus funktionalen Gründen)- Preis: Dieser Riemen ist natürlich ein Premium-Upgrade. Man kauft sich also den Komfort den Meta von Anfang an hätte benutzen sollen. Aber naja, was soll’s.
