This is a good point and worth repeating, hopefully there won't be too many frustrated people saying 'where's the cable?' when Link is introduced.... then again, I predict we'll have 1 or 2 posts!

The beta is coming this month but the actual Link cable is coming after. So you will have to buy your own cable. Unless this changes.

There are several threads discussing this but Oculus have really just stated that 'most high-quality USB-3 cables' should work ok. We're estimating data rates of 150MBps and duplex data flow will be the prerequisites, which I'm sure covers most USB-3 cables out there but I don't think there's been a statement on that.

Has there been any minimum spec released for what USB-C Cables we can use?

Oculus are producing their own cable to provide best in class performance and have a smaller cross sectional area (I think).
Edit: It's worth just reminding people that not all USB-C cables are USB-3, so that may trip one or two people up if they don't check, they'd just get a cable that's basically the same as the one that came with their Quest!

It's actually 150Mbps (megabits, not megabites).

Wait what? USB C connector with USB 3 (5gbps) ability......correct? USB c on both ends or USB C to standard USB? Why is this cable so confusing? 🙂 Seems like this is indeed being discussed but nobody really knows which one to buy
