INIU Link Cable with Charging [16ft] for Meta Quest 3s 3 2/Pro, Pico 4, PC, Steam, USB C Charger Cord for VR Headset Accessories

This thing did it's job well for while i used it. When I started using virtual desktop, that communicates solely over ethernet so this cord didn't get much use after that.The data rate is adequate for using Meta Link, and it will relay power from your actual stock meta quest power cord to charge your headset while playing. It's got a cool LED light that will tell you the status and the right angle connector is actually genius for keeping the cords out of your face while you play.It does all of that. It's good! And for a nice price too.

Cable arrived just a few days ago and is already fantastic.PROSKeeps headset battery stable- Played for roughly 6 hours and battery stayed at 98% the entire time.Nice build quality- Braided cable with extended plastic towards the end to prevent bending.Aesthetic + convenient- Nice looking cable with a green LED on the end of the cable so you can know it's working!Packaged well- Came in a paper ziplock rather than plastic, and was secured in a loop by plastic clips! See notes belowCRITIQUESI wish the plastic clips were big enough to use as a clip to the headset- It doesn't come with any way to secure the cable in case it was caught or yanked, which can damage the portWhile I appreciate the environment-conscious packaging, I did feel the packaging design was a bit unprofessional at first with the lack of detail/cushion and had me worried I'd been scammed upon initial opening. Looked like something you pick up off a Dollar Tree rack before I opened it.The port on my headset occasionally keeps saying there's water in it when it's plugged in to this cable (and only this one).Aside from these things it works fantastic and has leveled up my VR sessions immensely, will purchase again if needed!

I’ve been using the INIU Link Cable with Charging for my Quest, and overall, it’s a solid choice for connecting to the PC. The cable is long enough to move around comfortably, and the charging feature is a nice bonus since it keeps the headset powered while in use. It’s a great option for a link cable, especially for the price.However, there’s one issue I’ve run into. Sometimes, when using the cable, it will randomly disconnect from the link, and a message pops up saying something is stuck in the cord (like water or dirt). I think this may be because it’s not an official Meta cable, and the system might not fully recognize it as one. It’s a bit frustrating, especially when you’re in the middle of a session, but it doesn’t happen all the time. If you're willing to put up with the occasional disconnect, it’s a good cable overall for its performance and value.

I am writing to review the INIU 16 Ft VR Link Cable w/ Charging. My quick thoughts: for $25, this is a good deal. I also have the Meta Quest 3 Link Cable for comparison. Performance-wise, the Meta Quest 3 beats the INIU link cable by a measly 0.4 Gbps. I have run both link cables while playing F1 2024 and haven’t noticed any significant differences in performance. For cost and functionality, the INIU beats the Meta Quest 3 Link Cable for the bang for your buck, being able to play PCVR games and charge your MQ3 device. There are minor issues with both cables. From what I have read from other reviewers, the MQ3 Cable is not that durable, is prone to breaking, and will have performance issues later down the road, while the INIU can be a hit or miss with quality.Price:MQ3 cable $79.00INIU Price: $25.00Performance Bandwith:MQ3 Cable – 2.8 GbpsINIU – 2.4 Gbps

(Updated review)This is an update on my previous review: I absolutely love this cable and it’s wonderful. It’s built really well and it charges my headset nicely. Customer service reached out to me very fast when I asked for support. They replaced the cable at no additional cost and I am a happy customer. I would 100% recommend getting this cable over other cables. and that’s why I’ve changed my review from three stars to five stars.(Previous review)This feels like an amazingly built cable. Love it! However, the charging is awful. The first night it charged my headset while playing and did great. Then the next day the charge was a little lack luster. Then the next I got the slow charge warning. After all of this it says it’s charging but at a trickle even when the headset is off. I might be returning this cable sadly. The build is top notch, but I needed it to perform and charge.

When I got it, it looked like the packaging was cheap but I wasn’t gonna let that scare me so I took out and set it up to test it and oh my it’s probably the best thing ever. Before I would stutter a lot but figured out I just had bad pc specs and wasn’t the previous cables fault hence I upgraded so if you have stutters that’d probably why but I’m not a tech expert. Ran smooth the whole time and stayed at a high battery percentage which was perfect because usually my head set would die in like 2-3 hours but basically this cable is awesome and does its job. I used the meta power adapter with an Apple usb c-c cable to charge it while I played. It feels much better to have a smooth display and not having to worry about the battery 👌.
