I've tried several USB 3 to Type-C cables with Oculus Link and only really had great success with the Anker cables. I already own a 1m version of the PowerLine cable which proved excellent for both charging and data transfer but was way too short to use for Oculus Link.I decided to purchase the 10ft/3m version which should give a little more freedom with Quest Link. The cable arrived in a fairly standard Anker box, like many of their other products. The cable is much thicker and slightly less flexible than the 1m variant of the cable - I've attached a comparison photo. I suspect this cable is probably better shielded and has thicker cable cores to reduce interference and voltage drop over longer lengths.

The packaging of the cable was nice, very well presented, upon cutting the tape on the outer box the cable was immediately visible neatly tied with an Anker branded reusable cable tie, a nice addition.Upon removing the cable from the box the first thing that stood out to me was the thickness of the cable.The cable is very thick and not very flexible, now this could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the use case, however, I haven't found there to be an issue and it feels really well made. The thicker cable is better for me as it does not tangle as easily and coils very neatly for traveling.The thickness and rigidity are comparable to a solid core cat5 cable if you are a techy kind of

As previously stated I am a fan on Anker products. That doesn't mean I'm some sort of obsessive fanboy who blindly buys without research or consideration of other brands!What it implies is that Anker is a brand I continuously trust to deliver top quality and very reliable products.I wanted a long cable for my new S8, giving me more flexibility to use the phone when charging at a socket that may not be situated right next to where I am.This 10ft cable is perfect... the main cable itself is very thick and sturdy; offering great resilience against damage whilst also being flexible and easy to manoeuvre.As with all Anker cables, they come with a clever little velcro style tie around the cable,

I bought this cable with the intended purpose of using its length and capability with USB 3.0 for my Oculus Quest as a means to do Oculus Link - linking the headset to your PC so one can use it like a HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. The cable accomplishes this well.That being said, I have had issues both with the weight of the cable, but mainly the sound of electricity when the cable is unplugged and when it touches pretty much anything, which is fairly concerning when plugging and unplugging the cable to my headset. The cable also has a tendency to fall out due to the weight of the cable itself.Should you be looking to get a cable for using Oculus Link with your Quest,

Works really well with the oculus quest right off the bat did the job considering the times we are in i only ask anker two small things with this cable please make an adjustment to the usb c end to a 90 degree angle so that it sits perfectly along the side of the headset unfortunately i had to buy an adapter (picture above without the adapter and with it)which works with this cable made it so much better as before the cable was sticking out what felt like half a meter while using the headset so a change to the angle would help massively to safely use it without damaging the cable and the port of the headset while waving your arms about in vr lol,

Anker products are always my go to for charging cables and other similar electronics and this cable demonstrates why. The build quality of the cable is strong and durable, it charges my phone faster than any of my other cables, and the data transfer speeds are thanks to the USB 3.0. My only minor gripe with this cable is that the cable is very thick which makes bending it at more extreme angles impossible which made it unsuitable for the phone stand I had in mind but I just used this cable elsewhere and I would highly recommend this cable to anyone looking for a general use, long durable cable.Pros:- Strong cable- Charges fast- Transfers data fast- Very longCons:- The cable doesn't bend very

I love anker products, when I got my new phone with a USB c port I was like cool be able to try out one of there new cables.I originally had one of the usb 3.0 to micro USB cables braided with the red nylon and wanted the same Brading on my current one but if I wanted usb 3.0 transfer speeds I had to sacrifice the red braid.The cable is thick and feels like good quality. If you want your cable to stay a certain way this cable is perfect but its never straight. The braided version provides much more flexibility but,overall this cable is study, major issue free and provides a full fast speed charge for my s10 while providing up to 5gbps speeds.

Really pleased with this cable. Bought it for use with the Oculus Quest to link it up to the computer and it works perfectly, meaning I can now play Steam VR games on the Quest.It's a good length for use with the Quest if you are able to stand next to where you plug it in. You may want to get an extension cable if you are wanting to play further from the computer.I have also used it for charging my phone and laptop and it is very fast charging. It seems sturdy and like it will last a long time.Overall I highly recommend, especially for Oculus Quest users!

I bought this to use with the Oculus Quest. It didn't seem to work.I tried all my ports (USB 3 and 2) and the PC just wouldn't recognise it. Then someone on Reddit mentioned something I hadn't tried nor seen discussed elsewhere (after I had already updated chipset drivers, flashing BIOS etc) - try disabling power saving mode on the USB 3.0 ports in Device Manager.Lo and behold, it worked! Just leaving this in the review here in case anyone else has the same issue. Hopefully you were smarter than I and tried this out already though.

I bought this cable as I read that it was compatible with Oculus Link, to use the Quest as a PCVR headset, which I can confirm works brilliantly. It might be slightly on the short side depending on your setup, mine was attached to a laptop on the floor and I had just about enough room to turn around and walk a small distance without worrying about pulling the cable out. I'd still recommend a slightly longer cable for maximum comfort.The cable itself is the usual reliable Anker quality, it seems sturdy and well made.

It seems like Anker electronic accessories are slowly taking over my house and the reason for that is that I have been impressed with their quality and design. This is a very long (10ft) cable. I use it to route from my charger to go behind my king size bed and to reach the other side so I can charge my phone at night.Just be aware that it is inevitable that the longer the cable the lower the power draw is so don't expect super fast charging from this. But since it is for overnight charging I'm not too fused.

Update: I've bought a lot of Anker cables and other kit over the last couple of years and the quality is excellent.This particular cable failed after 10 months so I decided to claim on the life-time guarantee. This was easy to do via the Anker website, using the Amazon order number. I had a couple of very friendly communications with Sunny in the Anker customer service department and within a few days a brand new cable was delivered - you don't get that when buying cheap cables on eBay.Buy with confidence.

If you have a Ocules quest this is the perfect cable for it. The cable lenth Is perfect for VR like the PC ones and it's perfect for the Oculus quest. I had the 1.8m cable and that kept disconnecting from the VR due to the lenth but with this one it hasn't done it once. Make sure you use the Velcro stap that comes with the cable to start it to the side of the quest so you don't hit the wire. Overall I highly recommend that you get this cable for the quest

I didn't anticipate just how thick and long this cable is. It is 10ft long, meaning it can actually reach from one side of my lounge to the other. It has a velcro wrap to wrap back up once not in use and it is so thick, I dont think I have issues with the cable fraying. It also fast charges my phone, which not all charging cables can do. If your charger doesn't reach where you need it to, keeps fraying or breaking then this is the one.

This is an incredibly strong and long cable, so much stronger and seems way more durable than the original Samsung cable. As for charging speed the charging time is not at all affected by the length of the cable, my phone reports the same expected charging time whether using this or the original. I have used Anker products before and I haven't been disappointed and this has more than exceeded my expectations.
