Really appreciate you doing cable reviews. Extending the Rift and sensors is definitely one of the more frustrating things about VR. Unfortunately I had a much different experience with both the 5m and 10m UGREEN cables. I'll preface this with the fact that I've never had to balance my sensors on certain ports on my motherboard before. I've had as many as 3 sensors connected simultaneously, all using USB3 without any issues.
When using both the UGREEN 5m and 10m cable, my USB connectivity immediately drops down to USB2 on both sensors as soon as I plug in the second sensor. It seems to be able to handle one sensor at USB3 with an extension attached just fine, but as soon as that second sensor is plugged in, the details of the sensor under Devices in the Oculus software show them both connected as USB2. Were you able to maintain USB3 connectivity on all three sensors using the UGREEN extensions?
Lastly, one more thing I'll mention--if I supplemented the power with the attached micro USB cable, everything worked fine. However I've read these cables don't have any sort of power/voltage regulation in them, which can potentially put the hardware on both ends in jeopardy. This leads me to believe that while bandwidth isn't a problem with my motherboard, perhaps power delivery is.
Thanks again for videos like these!
I'm still a lowly two-sensor guy, as I'm ancient and tend to play sitting down as much as possible. But if I ever move to room-scale, I'll keep these in mind. Thanks!
Thanks Jacob! If you do buy a third sensor it will come with a long cable from Oculus
It's really a shame Oculus make the rift cable so short that it keeps you so close to your PC.
So great Mike, that your ALSO doing these non-gaming VR Reviews - now if you could only recommend a cable, that would make me a better (faster) PC VR sim-racer.......... as with my driving skills, I think I might be asking for the impossible xD
Hahaha well if you cut your brake cable that would make you go faster....not sure for how long though XD
THIS I can relate to! Let me know if you find one :)
I'm using a Ugreen cable as per your previous vid' and it's been flawless so far. I want to get a third sensor though and will need a load of extra cable, hopefully one of these will work.
Thanks mate. You do get a cable with the third sensor from Oculus.
I'll be needing a long cable though
Great review Mike! Thank you for putting the links to everything in the description! I currently use two sensors and have a pretty lackluster playspace, but I'll keep these in mind when I eventually upgrade.
Nice one Redonkulus! Hope you're having fun in the metaverse! []-)
Yessir! Very much! Same to you!
i have my Oculus for around a little over 6 months now and because i live in a small appartment with not enough room or reason to extend my Oculus cords, i still want to buy these cables since me and my boyfriend are planning to move to a bigger space in the near future and hopefully it will give me a lot more space to move around in. i also saw some helpfull ways to keep the cables out of the way by hanging them on the ceiling. you could say i'm planning ahead and think of a way to make Oculus more comfortable to play with without being scared that my cable is too short or even in the way. maybe i will also get a third sensor if that will help better with moving around more flawless
Cool room.....I've got 3 sensors but not really noticed a huge difference over 2.
I think I notice it the most in games where you turn around alot.....which tend to be games like Arizona Sunshine
Very helpful video as always, cheers Mike!
Cheers MrGhostbones []-)
The 10M didnt work for me... 3.0 gave me a black screen after a bit of use.
Interesting. Thanks for the update []-)
I use 2m cable + 5m cable from UGREEN and one HDMI Cable, they are amazing, works flawless with Rift!
Glad to hear it Kenobi []-)
The U.S. link for the UGreen cable is no longer available.
Thanks Mike ! I don't know how I can do without you. I'm sure not feeling the love from Oculus on setting up my area. I just set up a computer and 8' X 8' play area with 3 sensors. I'm using your recommended cables. How many sensors do you have connected to the Startech USB 3.0 card. Have you had any issues with it ?
I have my rift hooked up to my laptop. It only has two USB ports for my sensors. Is there anything I can buy so I can hook up three or four senors?
Maybe try a powered usb hub? []-)
Thank you! This video was very helpful. Subscribed!
Thanks Tay! []-)
The ugreen 5m extension cable won't work for me with my inateck card :/ Sensor always detects as 2.0 and often there is poor tracking quality error.
Strange, I've never had issues with these cables []-)
Okay, so I tried some different combinations today and fixed it by plugging my sensor (without extension) and my oculus in the inateck card, and the 2nd sensor with the 5m extension in my USB 3.1 Gen 2 on my MOBO, now they are both detected as 3.0. But I find this pretty weird because that means that the Inateck card has some bandwith problems and Oculus itself recommending this card makes it even weirder...
Edit: After complete system reboot it jumps back to 2.0
Lorenz Maier which mobo do you have?
Nhamr I have the "Gigabyte Aorus Z270X Gaming 5"
Gonna try the 5m with my Valve Index. I'll report back w/ my results.
Great video, just what i was after. Couple of things i would like to ask if i may. Firstly, i have tried setting my sensors up to give me more coverage. Brought the active cables but when it came to setting up, it said that i could not have my sensors more than 6ft apart. Can you skip that part of the set up with no issues? Secondly, with the HDMI,you have to buy the repeater, do you have to buy anything like that with the USB 3.0 cables? Cheers.
The distance between the sensors warning can be ignored. However, each individual sensor has a limited range:0-1.5 feet: No trackingUp to 6 feet: Excellent trackingUp to 8 feet: Good trackingUp to 10 feet: Okay trackingBeyond 10 feet: Unreliable tracking
You don't need a repeater for the cables []-)
Ok, that`s great, thank you for the reply.

Hi again, I have another question, do you know if ugreen only do the 3 sizes of cable. I need two at around 4.5ft and don’t really want to link two together. If they don’t, is there any other brand that you could recommend that do do other sizes.
Cheers
have you tried a 5m cable comparison between passive or active cables?
I want to ask if we need to plug the usb power supply for this cable to work?
No, don't use the power supply cable. You could risk damaging your Rift []-)
Thank you for your tip :)
Hi Mike! Do you know if these extension cable works with rift S? Consider rift S Is one power hungry monster, I'm curious to see if the cable could fetch enough electricity to rift S
Do it work on the Rift s ?
Hello can I use this cable for quest 2 it is most affordable one at where İ am living
wait so the rift it self also uses usb not just hdmi
Yep, the Rift uses HDMI and a single USB 3.0 []-)
@@VirtualRealityOasis thanks man
The cables are like commected into one
Hi, does this cable compatible with oculus quest 2 to play pcvr games? (Is it oculus link compatible?)
For one of my sensors, I only need to extend about 1m, what would be the best way to do this?
Nice video Mike, but what cables would you recommend for 2 or 3 metre ?
I'm using passive 2m Ugreen HDMI and USB3.0 extensions for my headset (all I need for my VR space). Works flawlessly. That said, with shorter cables it is less picky. It's really with 5m or above that a lot of cables will cause issues.
Thanks Sakkura1 (",) i had already purchased cable matters usb 3.1 extensions in 2 & 3 metre, i just havant got round to using them just yet, but was interested in what others have to say.
does the HDMI repeater work well ? it says nothing about being able to support more than 60hz
Yes, the HDMI repeater works great. Rift runs at 90hz []-)
I bought This one a few months ago but unfortunately it is getting ocational disconnects, I'm using an startech dual band card so I bought a cable matters 10 mts and in my case it is working flaweless so far, 2 months of use, I'm using 4 sensors
Thanks Jorge! Are you using 10m Cable Matters on both Rift and Sensors or just Sensors??
Virtual Reality Oasis only sensors, I used a 5 mts for the rift similar to those with no issues but I just removed because it wasn't needed for the size of my space, 3x4 mts
Cleeeeean setup
Just bought a USB 3.0 extention cable. Doesn't seem to work, any reason to why?
with the sensors so high up they are capable of detecting if you need to bend down and pickup something off the ground?
i got the 10m ugreen cable but my oculus software only detects it as 2.0 how can i fix this
Could I have a link for the USB 3.0 cable you use for the HMD that was previously inside your original breakout cable? Or was it the same one as linked in the description?
Will these work great with the headset with the 5M one without having to plug in a external power.
Yeah, don’t use the external power function of these cables.
So Somehow I've bought the wrong cable from Cable Creations. So planing on getting this one. Been Having issues with the one I've bought suggested by Reality check vr. I'm also using an Inateck Card along with another usb pci card.
Any advice on fixing an issue where the HMD (Vive) USB keeps connecting and disconnecting from the computer? Keeps making the annoying windows sound when it connect/disconnects. Sometimes it takes 10-20min of plugging into different USB 3.0 ports before it is usable and stops disconnecting. I have an MSI VR-ready Laptop, so cant add USB 3.0 card... spent many hours trying to fix it already :/
This used to not be a problem, but one day started happening.... Maybe Windows update broke it?
It sounds like a driver issue. Goto your laptop manufacturers website and ensure you have the latest USB drivers. Fingers crossed it fixes it for you mate! []-)
Virtual Reality Oasis Thanks for the reply. I've tried updating drivers but no go... But maybe I should try again since it's been a few months, I'll update you if that fixes it.
I have UGreen extensions for both USB and HDMI... B U T
the headset keeps having that extremely loud static noise... I tried using a Powered USB 3.0 HUB between my PC and the extension cables , but the static noise comes after ~2 hours of gameplay...
The extension cable is not active but do you thing that upgrading my PC power supply could go any better? It's a 500W + 80 supply
Upgrading your power supply would not help
@@HSchwab-jq7cl I got it working using the Powered HUB between the Headset and the extension cables... But it's not a good use as I depend on a power outlet
the 5 meter cable does it have to plug in to a micro usb?
ugreen usb 3.0 extension cable 5m changing to usb2.0 and disconnecting and i use a samsung usb powersuply for power to ugreen usb cable also trayed to use a lg usb PSsensor keeps having problems using a inateck ktu3fr usb 3.0 card in a pciex 16 slot any one have a tip for me
Hello again! I am currently making a setup similar to yours. I decided to buy a HDMI repeater that supports 4K @ 60Hz, as the one you use claims to only support 1080p @ 60Hz. Do you think I may have wasted a bit of money, or was it a good idea to get a higher quality repeater? I am also using the same USB and HDMI cables with my Rift HMD as you are using.
Edit: Under 4K, it supports higher refresh rates :)
It will probably work just the same to be honest []-)
+Virtual Reality Oasis Oh well. Better safe than sorry!
also question: what kind of wall mounts do you use for the sensors?
Hi my friend,
I write you for an imformation,
I bought the same material as you, I took everything in 5 meters, when I launch my oculus rift I black screen in my headphone,
so what I have to do for regulated the problem please ...
Best regards Michael
Do the UGREEN USB extension cables require power from the female Micro USB port to function?
Please don’t use the power USB port as you could damage your Rift []-(
@@VirtualRealityOasis Ah I see, I don't actually own a Rift yet but I'm just making all the proper preparations before I do. I asked because I read online that active usb extension cables require external power via Micro usb. (Which is what I assumed the micro usb port hanging off the cable was used for, but you didn't mention it in the video)
thanks for the very good video. I have a question. Which hdmi cable 5 meters can i use wit a hdmi repater? Does the amazon
basic cable 4, 5 meter also work with the rift? My pc is in slleping rom, but i dont have much room here, so i want make roomscale in living room, but the pc with my 34" sisplay should be in sleeping room. At first i just want buy a 5 meter displayport
cable for the display, but i have 3440x1440@100 hz g sync and i read a lot that 5 meters make problems with that resolution.
but nice to see, that the 10 meter caable works.
Yeah, an amazon basics 10m HDMI should be fine mate. I've never tried using a long displayport cable so not sure if that will work. If you try it out, please let me know how you get on []-)
Any comments as to how these compare to Monoprice?
Excuse me, how can i power those cables? Cause i see a port near the female usb...
Philipe, don't power those cables, it could damage the headset []-(
@@VirtualRealityOasis ohhh cause i thought they onlu work With external power mm that mini cable near the female usb. And let me ask something more. With those ugreen 5 meters and 10 meters the sensors are regognized as usb 3.0 ?
@Mike Did you make a breakout cable for the rift with these? If so did you use braiding and what size please? Thank you
I used this braiding to make a breakout cable - TechFlex Flexo F6 General Purpose 2-inch Braided Cable Sleeve:
UK - amzn.to/2vg9xeZ
US - amzn.to/2wGLJBj
Virtual Reality Oasis Thanks Mike but at £82 for just braiding is too much as I can get a breakout cable including braiding for $90 from Caleb. I have the uspeed 5m usb 3.0 cable and amazonbasics hdmi so would a 20mm width braiding be okay? Thanks again x
thanks mike , that was good , I am going to buy thoese from amazon.de
I have a question,
what size of mesh cable sleeve should I use for for the extention, HDMI and usb cable,?
Hello. I want to make a vr room only (my pc will be in my next room). I have the original rift with 4 sensors but im thinking of selling it and buy the rift S. Can you please advice me which cable should i buy for the S ?? I need a 10- 15 meters cable and i will have it hanged from the roof. Thanks!
Hey man, does the 10M one still work fairly well?
I bought a 10m 2.0 cable for my HMD and it got an error with one of the lenses not working and one lens turning green...
I bought this for oculus link hopefully it will work
@Hammad Sohail it didn't arrive yet...
@Hammad Sohail Hi, I just got the Ugreen 10M extender and guess what? It really worked and im playing roomscale which is located next to my room. It is long enough to feel like untethered experience I totally recommend it for Oculus link
@@KP-48-007 thanks mine will arrive tomorrow
@TinkerTurtle yeah.
@TinkerTurtle nope, tried it without the extension just anker 2m cable and it was the same
That really cool
Thanks Ashanti []-)
music?
Is this the cable needed to go into physical headset itself? I have seen some backlash from the community that Oculus are no longer supplying the cable for the Rift CV1.
do you still use it for your oculus
Yep, these are still the cables I'd recommend []-)
Hey Mike Im ordering my PC tonight and I am so excited do you think I should get a vive or rift what do you think mike
The critics say if you want full roomscale get a vive, but if your happy with part time roomscale and playing while seated get a rift.
Demon Highwayman I'll go with a vive
Good stuff, an advanced welcome to VR dude !
Go with Oculus Rift with 3rd Sensor. Touch Controller on Rift set it apart from the Vive and WMR. HTC Vive is getting beat up right now for crappy Customer Service. Oculus has issue for one day and gave every customer using there Rift $15 for being down one day.. HTC would never do that.
MultiRealityGamer No! You really shouldn't get the vive right noe because it's a really big risk because the customer service and the the badly designed headset what breaks from sweat. I'm pretty sure u know mrtv
Your a top guy
Cheers dude []-)
guys please i need help. Got my oculus rift couple days ago. Now I have to wait before I get my next salary to buy displayport to hdmi adapter because my graphics card only has one hdmi port. Until then I have to switch hdmi port between my projector and rift.
Often times when I use rift some apps won't shut and I have to switch back to my projector to restart oculus client.
I'd like to know if there is a way to assign a mouse key button to do oculus client restart (my mouse is Logitech Performance Mouse MX)? That way I could do a restart without leaving OR.
Look into the Oculus Tray Tool. It has a function to stop the Oculus client. You may be able to create a keyboard shortcut to activate it.
does anyone know if it works with oculus link ?
I'm wearing the same shirt. LOL
I don’t even know why I’m watching this. I’m too young to understand
Your you green link is no longer valid.
Thanks mate, I'll look into it and get it changed.
Great video! Keep updating us pls, tks from Brazil :)
Thanks Gabriel, glad it helped []-)
Can you make a similar video for the rift s?
use a Samsung then you need none
fucking lol i buyed it and i got the same 5m cable today!!! and well its not working well becouse its only usb 2.0 after 5.0m (+ sensor cable)
I have USB 3.0 on my 10m cable run to my third sensor
Virtual Reality Oasis well... Then wtf
