Can this cable charge my other devices, like phones, tablets, and laptops?
No. This is a VR link cable and should not be used to charge your phone, tablet, laptop, etc.
What factors could affect the USB 3.0 link cable's data transfer speed?
Data transfer speeds may vary due to differences in user devices and the PC's USB port(below USB 3.0).
Why does the VR headset stick around 78% battery when I'm playing?
Our Built-in Exclusive Smart Chip can intelligently control the current within a reasonable range(about 78%) to ensure the safe use of electricity and enough power while playing.
What charging accessories to use for optimal charging speeds?
Please use Oculus' original wall charger and a USB C-C cable on the separate charging port for fast charging. Please don't use the extension cable with our vr link cable, it will reduce the charging rate due to energy loss.
Which devices are compatible with this link cable?
Meta Oculus Quest 3, Quest 2, Quest 1, Quest Pro; Pico 4, Pico 4 Pro, Pico 4 Enterprise; PC VR Steam VR.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Initial review: The length, durability, and convenience would be great, if it worked on my Quest 2. Used the Meta charger and cord, connected in the recommended order, and it still didn't charge. Observed charging with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T3KHBFL and it only drew current for a second or two before dropping out.
The cable also doesn't tangle very often and does a pretty good job of staying out of my way when playing games. It is capable of running the 500mb bit rate with max resolution on 120fps with no issues. I would recommend knocking the bitrate up to 500 with the oculus debug tool if using link because it looks pretty fuzzy if not.
Do not use this as a phone charger though. I thought I could get away with it and my phone got really hot overnight. It likely is pretty bad for the battery. Use it for your VR headset only.
As other reviewers have said, I followed the directions exactly as written on the little sticker that comes on the charging box on the INIU cable itself:
- Plug your USB charger and usb-c cable into the INIU cable charging box.
- Plug the INIU cable usb-c connector into the Quest 3.
- Plug the INIU cable usb-a connector into your PC. I used a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port on my PC.
- Enable PC link on your Quest 3.
All these steps done with the Quest 3 and PC both on already and the Meta/oculus software running on the PC.
Remember to have a good USB charger capable of PD (I used an UGREEN 30W) and a USB-C cable (I used a 100w 5A cable) that can support it. I didn't test this product with the stock 18W charger and cable that came with the Quest 3, so I'm not sure if that combination will be enough to keep a good charge during PCVR.
Good luck!
I will have to amend my review as after my return the company emailed me to ask if they can make it up to me. They sent me a new version of this cable. I will tell you the weight is more sturdier and it actually seems to work on my Q3. I haven't seen battery gain as of yet, but after about 15 min I also don't see any drainage of the battery! In honestly I haven't tried pcvr yet, but in stand alone in horizon worlds and of course movies with the passthrough going and I am operating at 120hz.
Seriously thank you Freya! This is exactly what I was hunting for.

So a few weeks after I returned this cable to amazon and got my refund the manufacturer reached out to me! They told me they were aware of the issue of the cable not working for quest 2 users. They told me they had updated the cable with a new cable that solves the problem and they would ship it to me free of any charges direct from their company. A very gracious offer indeed. They even arranged to send me another cable from Amazon to see if it worked better. The 2nd cable that came from Amazon had the same identical problem. So please everyone contact the manufacturer to get the New Updated Cable direct from them. Alzon needs to remove this cable from their inventory and stick the New cable. I received the new updated cable direct from INUI and it works like a charm! Extremely pleased with the performance. Ive been in VRChat for over 9 hours non stop on many occasions since receiving this cable and and my headset batter has dropped below 75% charge. Thank you INUI for reaching out to me and sending me multiple cables free to make the situation right. I give INUI’s customer service 10/10 what an incredible gesture on their part! The New Updated cable gets a 5/5 star review! Thanks so much INUI!

I was very paranoid in buying this thing, since the company behind the product seem to be bowing its head to meta at every chance they get. Saying "use Oculus program on PC", "use the official power supply" and stuff like that, which I can understand when it comes to the charger. Since a bad charger can fry the bloody thing, but the charger is just a standard 10w charger, almost every phone charger can do it just fine.
I used a Ugreen GaN 200w charger, but obviously I plugged it into the phone section, not the 100w laptop section. And I did not loss a bit of power during play time.
Now for the software… Look, at the end of the day, this is just a cable with some extra bells and whistles. It's not gonna understand if you actually use the Oculus software or your OS. It's a really high quality USB 3 cable. Don't charge your phone with it because I think one side of this guy isn't made for big power delivery, but it can absolutely function as a normal cable you use to connect your phone to your PC.
I took a gamble and said almost none of the things on the webpage are a necessity, and I was right. I run Linux, and I have a big hatred for Facebook and so on. So my headset is modified with Oculess and the oculus program is not gonna happen or probably isn't even a thing. I used Android Debug Bridge (Since Oculus is a glorified phone) and Air Link VR (ALVR) on OpenSUSE. The same thing is gonna work exactly the same on Windows even. This is the part I couldn't understand why you guys couldn't say, hey you can also use ALVR.
I ran Half-Life ALyx using ALVR from Linux in 120fps on the highest quality of the game and default settings from ALVR threw ADB while power was coming from UGreen's 200w GaN power station with zero hick ups or issues. Audio was normal. The VR device's heat was normal. I didn't lose a single % of batter either, in fact I had more charge when I was done playing then I started.
So I can confidently say, this cable works with Linux and non-official software or hardware just fine.

Mi problema era mi cargador. Aunque te recomiendan usar el cargador incluido con el quest, el cargador incluido en el quest 2 es de 10W para poder mantener la carga necesitas un cargador de por lo menos 18 watts.
Lo probe con mi cargador de 20watts y seguí las instrucciones de la etiqueta en el cable y comenzó a mantener la carga en algunos casos hasta recargo el headset si no uso aplicaciones muy demandantes.
