  There are no third party cables (it uses a proprietary plug), and Oculus has discontinued the only cable.

  You'll need to look on somewhere like Ebay for somebody selling their cable.

  Yeah, it's been a bit of a drama in the Oculus community since they discontinued the CV1 cable. The plug on the Oculus end is made by another company that stopped making them. Oculus stopped selling the cables and kept the few remaining ones for warranty replacements.
  

  
  

  People have been buying broken Rifts just to get the cables.

  
  

  Unfortunately there's no alternative.

  This is why you should be careful buying any Oculus product. They don’t support their products very well. Unless you intend to use it until it has issues, and then just throw it away and buy something else, you should not purchase anything from Oculus. Microsoft does the same thing, which is why I don’t purchase anything besides software from Microsoft. 

  
  

  If you look on eBay or FB Marketplace, you may find something. In my area CV1’s are going for 240 dollars with 3 sensors. Make sure you test it first before buying.
