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!

It works great and is nice and long

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

Worked great until it suddenly didn’t I 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.

Updated Review: I was contacted by the team at Amazon/INIU and they offered to replace the cable for me. Thankfully this done the trick and the cable is working fine. Managed to fire up MSFS 2024 and 2020 on the link cable and it worked flawlessly. No issues or stuttering whatsoever. Thank you for the replacement! Old Review: Before anyone gets excited, I custom build PCs, I know what I am doing and know what I am talking about. Quest 3, RTX4080, 64GB RAM, WiFi is plus 800mbs etc etc etc This cable is unable to support data transfers through to the Oculus Quest 3 from MSFS 2020, it immediately crashes. It is categorically the cables ability and crashes within seconds of linking to the Meta Quest Link or pretty much as soon as I launch MSFS 2020. Headset works perfectly fine on WiFi link and manages the data no problem whatsoever in MSFS 2020 and its a great experience. I've also tested this cable on several other titles, including Minecraft and experienced the same crashes. Avoid the product if you intend on gaming with your headset. @Amazon you really need to crack down on these misleading adverts, the cable is not fit for purpose.

👍

J'ai acheté ce câble INIU car la batterie de mon Quest 3 était constamment à plat et le câble d'origine fourni n'était pas assez long. C'est une belle surprise ! ☑️ Le câble est long (5 m), ce qui permet de rester connecté tout en étant libre dans ses mouvements. ☑️ La connectivité est robuste. Le câble tressé est solide et peut traîner par terre sans s'abîmer. L'embout USB-C tient parfaitement en place sur le casque, et la petite sangle fournie évite que le câble se détache pendant les sessions de jeu. ☑️ Très pratique, le câble permet de recharger le casque tout en assurant la liaison de données. Parfait pour les longues sessions de jeu en VR. ❌ Petit point négatif : comme le câble est très long, il peut rapidement s'emmêler dans les pieds. Il est donc important de bien organiser son espace pour éviter de trébucher pendant une session de VR. Dans l'ensemble, je suis très satisfait de cet achat et je le recommande pour les utilisateurs de Quest 3 qui cherchent un câble long et pratique.

El producto llegó en perfecto estado, perfectamente embalado, en la fecha prevista, ... Ningún problema en este sentido. Lo he probado con unas Meta Quest 3 y ha funcionado muy bien. Durante el rato que estuve usando las gafas, no sólo no se descargaron, sino que se acabaron de cargar. La única pega es que el cable hay que alimentarlo sí o sí. Pensaba que lo mismo no era 'obligatorio' y que el puerto USB del ordenador daba corriente suficiente, pero no (la descripción de Amazon no lo dejaba del todo claro, al menos para mi). Pero tampoco ha sido un problema. Conecté el cargador de las Quest 3 al cable, y éste a las gafas. La conexión inalámbrica que usaba (con Virtual Desktop), últimamente me estaba dando algunos problemas. Sin embargo con la conexión por cable (obviamente usando el Meta Link y la configuración por cable), ha ido perfecta. He puesto las gafas al máximo de calidad, y aún así, ni un tirón, ni un pequeño lag.

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

👌🏻
