Great Repeater Cable for Oculus Rift Sensors!

I bought this cable to extend the reach of my Oculus Rift sensors, and it works great. This IS a repeater cable, so the 10-foot length will not affect the stability of your tracking. I use a 3 sensor setup with these on all 3 sensors and it works perfectly. The construction of the cable is high quality, and the bandwidth is enough to use USB 3.0 speeds with the sensors. I have also tried a few other computer peripherals with the cable, and they worked just as expected. I'd recommend this inexpensive 10-foot cable for pretty much any computer peripheral you need extended, but with the Summer of Rift 2017 sale going on, I'd highly recommend this if you need to extend your sensor cables.

Well worth the Quality and Price

So, I was in a desperate need of a 3.0 "Female/Male" USB extension. Reason is I needed to A) Power my device and B) Transfer data at the 3.0 speed, which is (much faster than the 2.0) so having said that, this cable delivered A & B. I was really happy with the price as well, I mean wow I got it for less than $6, and believe me $6 in the 2014 means like $1 few years ago. So, I am happily satisfied and confident with "Cable Matters" products. They seem legit for its performance and capability to deliver. Keep in mind, the 10 feet one is equivalent to 3 meters for those who measure things in "meters" which kinda short. But, its the only approved length to a 3.0 USB extension. So be careful trying to buy longer as it may cause issues. Last note, you can use this for printers & Fax, Phone, Smart Tablet or any USB extension... Hope you find this review helpful, if so hit the "useful" button as it will show me that someone found my reviews helpful. Cheers...

Just bought an Oculus Rift? These work!

Works great for Oculus Rift. I bought 3, one for each of the front sensors, and one for the break-away cable for my headset. I did encounter random sensor issues as first. The 2 things that solved all my sensor problems: (1) I finally caved in and installed (upgraded?) to Windows 10. That cleared up most of my issues. (2) I purchased the Inateck Superspeed USB 3.0 card (I got the 7 port one but the others work too) I didn't think I'd need the card because I got 12 usb 3.0 ports, but after all was said and done, only 2 of those 12 seemed to get along with the Oculus. Half were controlled by VIA, which, evidently are garbage.

The only brand that works -- 6ft length, True USB 3.0 speed

Cable Matters seems to be the only brand that works. I've been buying a few different brands lately, trying them out. I'm surprised at so many dissappoints for something so simple as cable, ya? The others either drop signal, or don't deliver true 3.0 data transfer speeds, or the connected device is not recognized at all. The Cable Matters works nicely. I've also discovered that for my equipment (which is common stuff, all WD external drives and HP laptops) forget going longer than 6ft/2 meter extension. If your 9ft/3 meter is failing, scale it down a few feet. The USB 3.0 spec is 9 ft Max, so don't press it. Weird that the old 2.0 USB spec could be much longer without issues -- not so with 3.0. This I learned by much trial, error, and research.

Super fast USB 3 transfer speeds

I saw some of the reviews about speed issues so I was a little nervous but after getting the cable, it was immediately recognized as USB 3 whereas my walmart cheapy topped out at 2.0 speeds even though it was "supposed" to be 3.0. This cable has had great transfer rates from the minute I plugged it in and I am getting over 100MB/s on my flash drive that was supposed to top out at 90.

Works with Oculus Rift S

Tested with 3 weeks of playing and this cable works very solidly with Oculus Rift S as an extension. Your mileage may vary, because not everyone reports that those recommended DP and USB cables work. For me they both do work really well. I didn't even try another Rankie 6-feet one that's also recommended, as both 10-feet DP and USB cables work for me, allowing to move VR to another room (different from where the computer is) where there is plenty of space for room-scale VR.

Didn't work for Samsung Odyssey+ (Plus), loud white noise

Just a PSA. I didn't take any stars off because I'm sure it's a fine cable, but it did not work with my O+ headset and my ASRock B75 Pro-3m motherboard's USB 3.0 ports. I know some people say it does and some say it doesn't. Maybe it depends on your ports, or maybe some of those folks are reviewing the 6ft version, which should work. At least one person told me personally that this cable works for their O+, but maybe it had changed since then, or maybe they just had really good luck with their mobo. I'm returning mine.

Works for Oculus Quest Link

I bought the 10 foot extension cable to use with the charging cable that came with my Oculus Quest along with a USB A to C adapter from Electop (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07Q81GD5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_jaDXEbMZKFMQC). I get similar bandwidth with or without the extension cable and adapter. The whole setup works great with no noticeable lag. The cable is heavy duty and a little stiff but the extension stays on the ground so that works just fine. Highly recommended if you're looking for a Quest Link extension cable.

Used for Oculus Rift CV1 Sensors

This cable was recommended on a VR website for expanding your Oculus Rift sensors - I purchased 2 cables and both worked perfectly. Quality is solid - Plug and Play - Happy Buyer! (note: If you bought new Rift S these extensions are not needed as the sensors are built into the headset)

Works Like A Charm

Can I transfer data to or from a device at USB 3.0 speeds? Yes! Can I charge an Android cell phone with it? Yes! Can I forget I left a thumb drive plugged in and try to boot my system from it? Yes! I use this USB cable extender to make access to my tower's rear panel easy from my desk surface instead of crawling under the desk. It works just like plugging anything directly into the back of the tower.
