Same issue here. Using the official link cable with a Inateck KT2001 usb 3.1 pci-e card. Oculus software shows connection but as a usb 2, Tried driver updates to no avail. Thinking of returning this cable.

Do people who are are having issues with Oculus official Link cable have a laptop with Thunderbolt 3 which also supports USB 3.1 Gen 2? I’m wondering if that may have something to do with why it’s not working for some? I have a Thunderbolt 3 which works upto 40gbps, but also works as USB 3.1 Gen 2 upto 10gbps. Thunderbolt ports are technically also USB 3.1 ports, but USB C 3.1 ports can’t operate as Thunderbolt, correct? Has anyone had Link working on a Thunderbolt 3?

My Oculus software shows as connected with green ticks and as USB 3.0, but headset doesn’t detect my PC. Oculus support had me run a diagnostic report to send them. I looked into some of the data myself, there was one for USB and I could see that Oculus PC software was detecting my headset connected to USB 3.0 and reporting no faults.

Since I don't know whether my work machine should ever work with this cable, I'm going to return the Official Cable at this point and get the alternative cables...
I'm actually depending on Oculus Link for development, and trying to get the Official Link Cable working has been a drain of company time & money.
Cables: I got the recommended Anker cable with the Amazon basics extension which gives me a total of 10 feet. Though both cables work in general, the extension cable won’t be recognized by link if you connect it through a USB A port. I connected a USB C hub to the Thunderbolt port which gives me 3 additional USB A ports. Connected to one of those, both cables worked fine in conjunction. Disclaimer: Boneworks didn’t run as smoothly and froze several times with the extension cable so I guess the longer the better doesn’t apply here. But in general I think that connecting your cable through the Thunderbolt port (I didn’t have a USB C to USB C cable) will give you a better connection especially when your are on a slower PC.
Thunderbolt 3 has limited power delivery capabilities on copper cables and no power delivery capability on optical cables. Using USB-C on copper cables, it can incorporate USB Power Delivery, allowing the ports to source or sink up to 100 watts of power.

I think the problem with laptops is, that no compatible video card is detected. I faced the same with my MSI VR Ready gaming laptop, which has an intel and also nvidea 1060 in it. The nvidea is not detected, and the intel of course is not compatible to link, so it shows green but cant detect anything else.
