Replacement Rift cables.

So it appears that you can no longer buy replacement rift cables, can we get some official feedback as to whether this is a temporary issue or has Oculus ceased production of them?

Does Oculus even have an employee that moderates this forum anymore?

See this thread: https://forums.oculusvr.com/community/discussion/79952/hdmi-cable-and-cannot-order-new-one 

kojack (volunteer mod) says, "The forum is a community support forum (in other words we are supporting each other). If you want Oculus staff to listen, the ticket system, feedback in the client and user voice are the official channels.
There's still a couple of staff around, but we don't have people on here full time (well, beyond full time) like Cyber and Imperativity (dev boards)."

I've contacted TPCast asking when or if they plan to restock the kit for CV1. 

Firstly, it took them two days to reply. Second, they replied, "The TPCAST for Rift is out of stock, but we still have a lot of TPCAST for Vive, you could buy it if you want, thank you" 

I replied that I'm not purchasing a VIVE and a TPCast, asking again, do you plan to ever restock TPCast for CV1 to which they replied, "No, we have no specific date"

So we may be screwed on the TPCast option.

The TPCAST for the Rift might be out of stock, but they do have in stock the Oculus cable for $39.90.

From what I can tell, its basically a replacement Oculus cable, plus some power bits for the battery pack. I don't know if it will work stand alone, but it looks like it would.
I would guess it's a lot shorter than the normal Rift cable, so stick some extensions on it.

I have been checking online to see if you can buy a replacement cable or at least a second hand one, but not much luck, and i was hoping to wait until this time next year before i looked at replacing my Cv1, but now i am thinking it might actually be better to trade in the CV1 now towards something else, possibly a Vive........i just don't know as now i am too scared to use it just in case. lol

Please take a moment to vote https://oculus.uservoice.com/forums/918556-oculus-rift-s-and-rift/suggestions/38506144
to send a message to Oculus to keep supporting CV1 (including cable replacement).
