SyntechLink Cable with Charging 16FT Compatible with Oculus/Meta Quest 3S/3, Quest2 Accessories, USB 3.0 Link Cable with Extra Charging Port, for PC/SteamVR and Extended Gameplay

As an experienced user of VR and a geek, I was skeptical about how well this cable would perform given the price. I've been troubleshooting 2 cables I already had for a while as they were both reporting a USB 3 port as only USB 2 with only 300mbs speed. I got this cable mainly for the claim that it maintains charge and after hours of using it, it's doing exactly that.I can also say that the speed that I'm getting from the cable is 3.5gbps which is more than I got from even the official £80 link cable.I use demanding sims and the cable is giving no stutter, no artifacts and no latency that I was getting from previous cables. Ten out of ten

Quick charge and oculus link working like a charm! Cheap and good! Thx.

Good quality cable with added bonus of being able to charge as you play. Have been using for a few weeks now and have had no issues at all.

I've replaced my other USB type C cable entirely even though this is slower to charge on its own, but slapping on the Quest 3 charger really changes the game entirely, Skyrim VR Mad God overhaul now playable without stoppages, that'll do.

This cable burnt out my very expensive laptop. I contacted the company and explained the situation, only to be told that their cable does not allow power back to the usb port, but we will refund you for the item as a good will gesture. My laptop was £1900 and it got turned into a worthless paperweight. I thought to myself, I wonder if I purchased a cheap laptop just so I could do just file transfer for my meta quest 3 and if it happens again, at least I have evidence of a failed cable that caused me to lose such a costly device. I can then seek legal advice on what I can do to try to recover something equivalent to what I had. Guess what, the cable worked great until I plugged the meta quests power cable into it. The second it was plugged in the laptop screen went off and the power switch started flashing. I quickly unplugged the cable and prayed. I removed the rear cover and then the battery, waited a few mins, reconnected the battery and powered on the device. Luckily the laptop did come back on.03/04/25Syntech have offered to collect and test the cable and possibly compensate me for my losses if the cable is found to be defective. This was after i purchased a cheap laptop for my VR file transferring and the same thing happened. Luckily i was able to recover the laptop with minimal damage.. I will edit this review in light of the outcome.

The item is fantastic.. actually getting higher speeds through this cable rather than the £90 Official Meta cable (if run in USB3.1 like I do) it achieves 2.3gbps !, 1.9 for the Official Meta Cable)OK Here is a must do for people that may not no or toss the instructions in the bin !! Lol1. Please Plug in your Cable to a Red (USB 3.0) or a Blue (USB 2.0 But this may struggle to achieve a high speed)2. Please Plug in your Official Power Adapter as it has the power to the regulate the Voltage ⚡️ out at 18vOK so for all you nay sayers about this lead it will keep your Quest 2 at around 65% if it drops below that then your battery inside your Quest may be not that good anymore (this can be caused by many things including the incorrect charger.. just because it says its 2.0 Amps on the charger doesn't mean it's the correct MilliAmps !)3. Plug in your Quest 2 load up your fave PCVR game and Game On 😉I Hope this helps.

Bought this as my official quest 2 link cable broke. (worked fine on usb 2, connection deemed unstable the second its connected to a usb port.) This one actually holds a charge for my quest 2, and also has a higher bandwidth albeit slightly. 100% would buy again.

EDITED, it was actually the computer, due to drivers needing updating for the GPU and usb3Good cable and cheaper than the original at £89.99
