I successfully used a 5m/16’ USB 3.0 active extension cable  along with the 1m/3’ version of the recommended Anker A to C cable last night. I was also able to use that Anker cable with a passive 2m extension cable.

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

I just tested the 4m long cable that comes with the Zed Mini augmented reality camera.
No sound or vibration, but that may be the beta. The video is perfect.
But I wouldn't recommend buying a $449 stereo camera just for a cable. 🙂





You can buy a $29 "VR kit" from Stereolabs that includes their 4m cable.
It's a bit hidden on the site and I can't post direct links here yet. But go to their Store page (by clicking the Order Now button) then in the URL, delete everything after "products". Then click All Products -> VR Kit.

@karlos103  I tested it when I got home and it is still working great (Sound and Video) I played Vader III for 20 min and tested out Steam VR which also works better than Virtual Desktop Wireless. 

I also tested the Cable Matters Active USB Extension Cable Male to Female (USB 3.0 Extension Cable) with Power, not included on Amazon, and it works as well giving me 26 feet which is larger than the room I am in. When I tried without power adapter it would now work with the extension.

After setting up oculus link today for my quest, all the navigate functions (home, library, store and almost everything else are no longer appearing. The link app on the PC says it is ready. When selecting an app from the PC library the PC screen is black and nothing in the quest. I really hate to do another factory reset.
Many restarts, no help.
Unplug the link, no help.
Any Ideas?
