Today, I am reviewing the Destek 16FTLink Cable for the Oculus Quest 2.
Destek is a well-known brand for third party accessories for the Oculus Quest 2, but at 16 ft. and at $21.99, I have to say that I was a bit hesitant on price (as there are third party cables much cheaper).
But I decided to give this cable a try and now I understand why it’s slightly more expensive than the others. The build quality of this cable is pretty awesome. The cable is actually thicker and not thin like my other link cables and its really well-made.
I was able to connect this cable to my computer to a high speed USB port. File transfers of my streaming videos were quick!
May it be to transfer files, may it be to access Steam VR, may it be to be in one room to charge and if anything, long enough to reach farther areas, while being on a VR-related chat and not worry about my Oculus dying from battery power. I’ve already put many hours utilizing this cable and I have not had any problems whatsoever.
It’s a high quality, nylon fiber.27 inch cable, thicker gauge and it’s important for people to note, this IS a USB to USB-C cable. You need a high speed port capable for those speeds and at least make sure your drivers and Windows are updated.
It’s important to note that the Oculus Quest 2 that I am utilizing is the one released as of September 2021 and software has been updated, and tested on Windows 10 Pro, version 21H1, also with drivers updated (as of November 2021).
But for those who are reading the reviews, as a person who does post my Oculus gaming videos online, who does review a lot of Oculus accessories, the Desktek 16FT Link Cable for the Oculus Quest 2 is probably the best quality link cable I have used and it’s under $22!
