Review: Stable connection, long length, lightweight, and charging capable! - After trying many different cables, this is the cable I've landed on and it works flawlessly! The Meta Link cable uses fiber so it is able to deliver USB 3.0 5Gbps speeds at a much longer range than copper based cables. Also if you have a power delivery USB-C port on your desktop/laptop then you will be able to keep the headset charged while playing. Other USB C to C cables use copper so they are much thicker/stiffer and can't go as long (longest I found was only 2.5M). The Meta Link cable is very light and flexible and also comes with a little cable strap, so you can tie it to the side of your headset so you don't feel a cable pulling down on the headset. I am very happy with this cable due to its: * length, which allows me to cable manage it around my desk and into my sim rig * weight, which makes it easy to forget about when using * ability to charge while playing (granted you have a power delivery port) * stable connection, I've raced hours at a time without any hitches I know this cable is pretty pricey, but you get a really high quality cable for it. If you're really budget conscious, search desertcart for fiber USB C to C cables and you will likely be able to find cables for slightly less (but still more than a copper cable). But remember a high quality copper cable will be stiffer and can't delivery high speeds at a longer length!
Review: Superior Comfort, Seamless Compatibility - After trying out a few third party accessories which always turned out to be junk, I caved and bought the official Meta Elite Battery Strap. And boy am I glad I did! It has a very premium look and feel and is very sturdy, unlike the flimsy third party straps which felt like they were going to fall apart. This thing extends your battery life by ~2 hours, basically doubling your battery life, it is much more comfortable than the stock strap, and what I really like about it is that the battery from the strap is used first, before the headset. You can also see the battery level of the headset and extended battery separately inside the headset. You can charge this battery strap and the headset at the same time and using only one cable, and it’s also worth mentioning that the Meta official charging dock actually charges the strap AND the headset at the same time! I will be going with Meta official accessories from now on as that seems to be the way to go! Sure it’s a bit on the pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for with these Meta official accessories!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If you only have oculus quest, how can i get the oculus rift games to even try to get them on the quest with this cable? i'm new to oculus! lol.**
A: This cable doesn’t allow you install the games to the Quest for standalone mode.  It allows you to connect the Quest to a PC and play VR games that require higher graphics power on your PC.  It basically turns the Quest into an Oculus Rift. This way you can play both standalone and PC VR games.

**Q: Is this cable proprietary, or does it follow the official usb type-c standards?**
A: The cable follows the USB type-C standards. It's a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C cable. The specs for the cable are available here https://www.oculus.com/quest/accessories/.

**Q: If you use this with the quest, can you play steam vr games?**
A: Yes but you will also have to download Steam VR and Oculus software.

**Q: Can you please explain what is a usb c fiber optic cable? did i miss a technology that charges over fiber?**
A: A fiber optic cable is used because it can supports a 5 Gbps bandwidth over the 16 foot cable length.  An electrical to optical transducer (LED?) converts the electrical signal to an optical signal.  The optical fiber has a very wide bandwidth.  The optical signal is recovered as an electrical signal by using a photodetector and amplifier.  The copper cable which is co-located with the fiber optic cable is used to provide DC power to the Quest 2.  

I bought a cheaper, so called "USB C" cable that was claimed to support 5 Gbps but, as tested with my Meta Quest 2 and a gaming PC, could only support 368 Mbps data transfers.  I am returning the cheaper cable to Amazon.  Let the buyer beware!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love my Meta Quest 3!
*by A***R on January 22, 2024*

Oh my goodness! This thing is fun! I am a 59 year old woman who cannot melt and pour myself into an exercise routine. As a last ditch effort, I decided to try this thing. I bought the ‘Supernatural’ game for this unit and love it! I am out of shape, so when I do one single session it wears me out. But I enjoy it so much that I don’t dread the sessions. Hopefully with time using this system, I will be able to get back in shape. I am not very ‘techy’ but I had no problem learning how to use this thing.It really is easy to use and understand. My living space is very small but with the Supernatural game it doesn’t take much room. I love the feature of this devise where you can tap the side of the unit and immediately see your surroundings without having to take the headset off. Although this was a very pricey investment, it was worth it! Fun, easy to use, and effective for my purposes!
