INIU 5m VR Link Cable with Separate Charging Port, USB 3.0 to USB C Cable

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.

Having multiple vr headsets it was rough with limited bandwith trying to stream via WiFi, games from the pc’s to our headsets. The price of the official link cable was disgusting so figured I’d take a risk on a cheaper alternative. I was truly surprised to not only find out it worked flawlessly, but the optional ability to provide power and plug the charger in simultaneously was incredible. The cable is flexible enough to allow movement but stiff enough to avoid bending and tearing thanks to the braided sheathing. It’s easy to use and the standard usb c fit perfectly. Being usb-c there wasn’t any compatibility issues and I can use it to charge my devices or plug in an Xbox controller if needed. All in all for the money I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again. Super happy and pleasantly surprised it actually worked flawlessly.

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.

This cable is 10x better than the official meta cable due to the fact that it actually keeps the headset charged while your playing and has a high transfer speed for if you want to wire it into a pc/computer, which is good for me as I use it for things like playing assetto corsa (racing game) and can be used for any pc vr game (providing your pc is good enough for vr to run). 100% recommend this product it’s really good value for money, would absolutely buy again!

Great product. No issues with the connection or the length. It was easy to set up and still works fine after having it for a month and playing intense games like blade and sorcery

Since leaving my original review, the manufacturer reached out to me to try to resolve my issue. They were adamant that they stood by their warranty.I was provided with a replacement and asked to test that it worked as expected as the engineers had found an issue that was resolved in later models. Freya, from their customer service team, contacted me frequently to ensure that I was happy with the replacement and that it worked as expected. Not once did I have to chase for an update. They were the most proactive customer service team that I had ever experienced.So... The new hardware... It works as a charging cable now, which was the only gripe that I had before. When connected to the headset and playing it appears to hold a charge. I did not notice it lose charge while connected so also a win.Overall, if you are looking for a decent length cable to extend your VR play time, I can recommend this.In order to be fully transparent and to highlight how good their customer service was, I am leaving my original review below.---Original Review - Please read above for revised review---As a connection to my PC, this cable works great but not so much as a charging cable.No matter which order I connect the power cable, the headset still discharges at normal or very slightly under normal speed. This results in a low battery warning. This is the same on my quest 1 and 3 with and without battery pack.I have even left it connected overnight and it has not fully charged the battery pack.Mine maybe faulty. Not sure but others have reported similar and many have stated that it works as expected.

Worked great until it suddenly didn’tI bought this cable in 2023 primarily for games like Blade & Sorcery. It was never ideal due to the weight of the cable, but I only used it lightly throughout 2023–2024.Around halfway through 2025, I got more heavily into flight simulators and started using the cable much more frequently. The weight became more noticeable, but the bigger issue is that the cable has now started losing its connection to the headset entirely.After troubleshooting and testing with a second cable, I confirmed that the problem is with the INIU cable and not the headset or PC.Unfortunately, dealing with INIU customer support has been extremely frustrating. They repeatedly requested a video demonstrating the problem, despite the issue occurring within the Meta software, making it difficult to record in a way that actually demonstrates the fault. After filling out their forms, exchanging emails, and going back and forth with support, I've ultimately decided it's simply not worth the hassle.The cable may have worked well initially, but its reliability and the poor customer service experience have left a lot to be desired. I'll be buying from a competitor next time.

This cable is thick very well braided with decent material covering it. It does not seem to fray nor does it kink. It also remains very flexible. so far so good.I have used it for a few months now, quite heavily. It remains as good as new.Connecting it with a good USB 3 charger, well a 3amp one, it seems to supply enough current to reasonably keep my Quest 3 charged whilst using. I do think that can be dependant on how your game is demanding a lot from the Quest 3 and the limitations will include the power supplied as it is this cable.Please see my screenshots.Good power indications, with lights, are offered on the cables connector to the headset. It is an angled connector and locks into place.It does not come loose.The cable was used for a few hours in total and the battery for the Quest 3 showed at 96%, see photo. That was the same as when I first started to use it.On some less intensive occasions it will add to the charge already in the headset, in other s the drain is very little but noticeable over time.This cable seems to offer great value for money and great connectivity. I can push the frame rates higher and do not get stuttering associated with WiFi issues. No stuttering or latency concerns noted.Using the Oculus Debug Tool you can increase the bitrate using this cable.The usual limitations are there, cables and not WiFi, but I use this for certain sat PCVR titles tha tI play seated and it works a treat. In other situations the WiFi connection is absolutely preffered.No one fit all solution is going to cover every use type.I absolutely do recommend this cable and it has worked great.I hope this is helpful for you.Happy gaming.

👍

Good quality cable which actually charges the Quest 3 while playing, seen it consume as high as 24watts (using 100watt Anker charger).

Hey everyone, Mike P. here with a review of the 16FT Link Cable for Oculus Quest 2/Pro by INIU. Let me just start off by saying that this cable is a game changer for VR enthusiasts and gamers alike.First off, the high speed transfer link cable is incredibly fast and reliable. I have used other cables in the past that were prone to lag and disconnection, but this INIU cable has been a rock solid performer every time. The separate charging port is also a nice touch, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay and extended sessions without worrying about running out of battery.But what really sets this cable apart is its durability. The ultra-durable power and sturdy build quality make it clear that this cable is built to last. I've accidentally stepped on it, tangled it up, and even dropped it a few times, but it has held up remarkably well.The USB 3.0 Type A to C connection is also a nice touch, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of VR headsets and gaming PCs. And at 16FT long, it provides plenty of flexibility and freedom of movement, which is especially important for games that require a lot of physical activity.Overall, I would highly recommend the 16FT Link Cable for Oculus Quest 2/Pro by INIU to anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and high-performance cable for their VR headset. It's a must-have accessory for any serious VR gamer.
