KIWI design Link Cable 5m USB 3.0 for VR
Product description
This USB link cable for VR headsets lets you play PC VR titles while keeping your headset powered for longer sessions. The KIWI design Link Cable with Charging in 5 metres combines a Super Speed data line with a dedicated 18W charging port, so you can enjoy extended gameplay without frequent battery interruptions.
Key Points
This cable supports a USB 3.2 Gen1 (USB 3.0) connection with a rated 5Gbps transfer speed, allowing higher display resolutions and refresh rates according to your PC capabilities. It is specifically intended for use with Meta Quest 3S, Quest 3, Quest 2 and Quest Pro, and is also compatible with Pico 4 for simultaneous charging and data transmission. The separate charging input requires an official or equal-or-higher power charger, and it is not designed for charging phones, tablets or laptops. The 5 metre length gives greater freedom of movement in active VR titles, and the lightweight, flexible design reduces cable pull and discomfort during play. The manufacturer notes the internal board upgrade for stable in-game charging and indicates durable connector performance after extensive insertion tests.

Usage Recommendations
Connect the USB-A end to your PC and the USB-C end to the headset, while plugging a suitable 18W (or higher) charger into the separate charging port for uninterrupted sessions. For best visual performance, ensure your PC and GPU support the higher bandwidths the cable can deliver, because actual display quality depends on computer performance. Consider cable routing to avoid tripping hazards and to prevent tension on the connectors during vigorous movement.
Positive Aspects
The long length and low weight help maintain immersion in room-scale and free-movement experiences, particularly in action titles where mobility matters. The dedicated charging channel helps maintain battery level while streaming high-bandwidth content, according to the manufacturer. One nuance to note is that charging output is intended for the headset only, so external device charging is not supported, and transfer bandwidth to the headset may vary depending on system specifications.
