USB 3.0 Extension Cable

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.

Used this in conjunction with another adapter to add some length to my Quest link cable. It didn't have any issues affecting games, but because it's not a powered extender it is not able to charge the Quest 2 at the same time you are playing. I've since been using it as an extension for my webcam and have had no issues there either.

I had recently purchased the Oculus quest, and I wanted to be able to use this item using the beta feature Oculus Link. Unfortunately for me, the cables provided with the quest were not adequate for this feature. I had stumbled online that this would be a cable that could support an item which requires large data transmission capabilities over longer distances (in this case 16 feet). I had planned to combine it with an Anker 10 foot cable in order to get approximately 26 feet of extension on the Oculus link connection. Some of the other reviewers had postulated that there is not adequate charging capabilities for the oculus when it is connected to this cable. I am not sure that this cable is meant for the charging portion. It does a great job for a reliable Oculus link connection, but there is slow battery drain on the Quest which I think is related to the high resource usage on the Quest when is using Link. Ultimately, I am very happy that I purchased this item and it has done a great job in regards to allowing me use Oculus link without paying 79 dollars for a shorter cable directly from Oculus. As for the charging issue, I believe that using the Quest with a full charge mitigates this issue of slow battery drain while using Link. This is not an issue that this cable has to bear.

Bought this to bring my wireless dongle for my controller closer and it works great. Tried a 10ft passive usb cable and it didn't work. This one did. Cons: I wish the usb housing was flat. Its curved which makes it harder to mount using dbl sided tape.

I’m an astrophotographer and my usb 3 cable from laptop to cameras was 13ft. I was getting periodic disconnects. After replacing with this cable with 16ft plus 3ft usb b cable. I can run both my Asi533mc and asi120mc through the cable at the same time no problem. Works perfectly.

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 ([email protected],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.

I primarily bought this cable extender to tether my DSLR camera to my laptop, for taking “remote” photos of birds in my garden (god I sound old lol). I can confirm this works perfectly, and I was up and running within about 2 minutes from opening the pouch to plugging in the DSLR micro B usb cable from my MacBook to the extender cable. The cable feels robust and pretty thick, the only thing that I am reserving judgement on at the moment is the actual plastic USB extender part - it feels flimsy and that I’d have to be careful with it. Still 5 stars at the moment as it all works fine. I’ll update if it breaks.

Un cable USB de la misma distancia típico hace que fucione mla mi cámare WEB pero con este cable puedo comunicar perfecto mi cámara web sin flickers o problemas. Muy confiable el producto!

Sadece usb2 eski flashi tanidi, ama usb 3 flash ve webkam ve başkalarile çalışmadi,iade ettim

Working well with my HOTAS for Xbox One.

Birkaç farklı aktif usb kablosu alıp iade ettim çünkü kablonun ucuna taktığım USB hub hepsinde okuma sorunu çıkarttı. Bu kablo oldukça kaliteli bir yapıya sahip ve iletimi hem güçlü hem de hızlı yapıyor. Ucuna USB hub takıp çoklu çalıştıracaksanız kesinlikle düşünmeden alabilirsiniz.
