Oculus Link compatibility

If you'd like to use Oculus Link to connect your Meta Quest to a PC, please start by reviewing the compatibility requirements.

Cable requirements

Oculus Link requires a high-quality USB cable capable of supporting data and power. You'll also want to make sure that the USB cable is at least 3 metres (10 feet) long for an optimal and comfortable experience.

Where can I buy a cable?

You can purchase the Oculus Link cable from the Meta Quest accessories page.

You can also use a third-party cable. While quality can vary across third-party cables, we've tested the Anker cable internally with good results.

NOTE: Many of the Anker listings on Amazon may be sold out of the recommended cable size of 3 metres (10 feet).
