    A must for Oculus Rift Room Scale setup!!!

    A must for Oculus Rift Room Scale setup!!!
    I have the Oculus Rift with four (4) sensor setup for room scale. I was using Monoprice's 16 foot USB 3.0 Active Extension cables with all four Rift sensors and they are all plugged in to a Startech USB 3.0 Card with four individual controller/bus. I kept getting sensor disconnects and most of the time when I turn on my PC, the Startech USB 3.0 card only shows two Rift sensors connected. I had a hunch that it is power related and the Startech USB 3.0 card just couldn't power four sensors connected to a 16 foot active extension individually. Take note, the Rift sensors alone has 2.5 meters of USB cable.Well, I'm glad that my search is over and I am happy to say that these Startech Active USB cables with external power source SOLVED all my Rift issues! I played almost 3 hours straight without sensor disconnects! The Windows device manager shows all four sensors and I'm not getting any USB popup errors anymore! The external power source feature of these cables basically did the trick to carry out the signal further than 16 feet!

    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019
    Size: 9.8 ftStyle: USB 3.0Pattern Name: CableVerified Purchase
    I had problems with an external SSD and an external HDD. I blamed the storage devices, but both of these problems were actually being caused by cheap USB extension cables I had plugged into hubs. I thought the cables were fine because other peripherals, such as a webcam, worked fine.

    I did some research and found that active cables are needed at lengths above 3 meters (9 feet) to maintain the digital signal. I bought these cables instead and they work fine with HDD and SDD. If you need to run storage via extension cable for 10 feet or more, don't go for cheap cables, get these active ones instead.

    This has been good as a way to access my desktop that is about 20 ft away from the room the rest of my setup is. That said however it is not perfect. Specifically things like my headset and mouse/keyboard have experienced a number of issues (strange sound artifacts on the headset, mouse and keyboard randomly loose connection) while attempting to use this cable. I did end up having to utilize an optical cable which resolved all of those issues, however this cable does still work for most things so I am currently using both. A little pricey considering the optical cable of the same length is only about $30 more but worth it with a decent discount.

    I was finding that my computer would blue screen randomly. I did a little research and found that the extension cable I was using from the computer to my powered hub was beyond the length of USB 3.0 certification. This has stopped the blue screens.

    I got this to use with the Vive VR headset.

    At first it would work, even though it would take a random amount of time (maybe up to 10 minutes) for my computer to recognize the headset after turning the headset on. That was already not a good sign for its consistency.

    A month later with absolutely no movement of the cable whatsoever, its completely dead. Ive tested it with more simple things like a flash drive, and connected power to it so thats not an issue, and yah, completely rip.

    Huge waste of money.

    Size: 32.8 ftStyle: USB 3.0Pattern Name: CableVerified Purchase
    TL;DR - Works really well, for my use extends Quest 3 location by 10m

    My gaming PC setup is in my study upstairs but there isn't much room so using the Quest 3 headset while playing Half Life Alyx resulted in a number of times I thumped my hands on the edge of the desk. Not good, not without pain. Moving the VR play space downstairs where there is more space was the answer but relocating the PC every time would be a bit of a nuisance. Extending the USB connection with this 10m active USB3 cable from StarTech solved the problem. Half Life Alyx plays well with no noticeable difference to a direct connection to the PC upstairs. Its worth noting that on first connection it failed to connect, but a replug solved it. The LED on the adapter at the far end was lit up blue from first use, but after three weeks using it I noticed that I hadn't turned the power on at the wall for the AC adapter, but it still works fine, so all is good.

    I bought this because I run my computer tower on the other side of my room. I play competitive online games with it and I don't notice any difference

    Je cherchais un câble capable d'offrir une distance longue pour une salle de visio conférence. Il rempli parfaitement son rôle ! Un peu cher certes mais pour du matos professionnel, on cherche avant tout que cela fonctionne ! Le câble est recommandé par google pour CFM donc ne cherchez pas autre chose, c'est celui ci qu'il vous faut !
