How about a magnetic link cable?

OK, Anker!  I bought your charging dock, but I would like to use that port for other things, such as plugging an Anker Power Bank in there when I'm away from my dock.

How about a cable that could use that port for charging, and....maybe..... use it for Oculus Link, too?  The magnet would be ideal as it would break away if you caught the cable on something!

Magnetic cables are usually just charging, not data transfer.

usb3 cable it has 8 pin. Magnetic usb is 2 only.

But it's a good idea.

there are magnetic connectors that are for USB 3 and allow data transfer and 4k video transfer.... 

 

I'd settle for one that I could plug a battery into!  I can do that now, but I have to unplug the connector for the Anker Dock first!  Baffles me why they made it not compatible!
