VR Link Cable with Charging Port
The INIU DI401-1 is a 16ft USB 3.0 link cable designed for Meta Quest 3, 3S, Quest 2, Quest Pro and Pico 4 headsets. It connects a VR headset to a PC for high-speed data transfer while simultaneously delivering power through a separate USB-C charging port. The cable targets PC VR users who want extended play sessions without battery anxiety.
Simple Setup with Strain Relief
Plug the USB-A end into a PC USB 3.0 port and the 90° USB-C connector into the headset, then attach a PD or QC fast adapter to the dedicated charging port for 3A power delivery. A sticky buckle secures the headset connection and the FLYWEAVE jacket resists wear. The supplier notes that cable length slightly affects transfer speed and ports below USB 3.0 will reduce performance.
2.5 Gbps Data Rate Decides Compatibility
The cable operates at 2.5 gigabits per second, which determines whether your PC port can sustain the bandwidth required for PC VR streaming. The SmartProtect2.0 chip limits headset charge to around 78% for battery safety during use. This cable is not intended for charging phones, tablets or laptops.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the cable is delivering data at 2.5 Gbps and maintaining the 78% battery level during play?
The SmartProtect2.0 chip regulates current to keep the headset near 78% while the USB 3.0 link runs at up to 2.5 Gbps; check the headset battery indicator and the PC's USB controller speed to verify both are active.
What accessories come in the box and which charging items must I provide myself?
The package includes the 16ft USB 3.0 link cable, a quick start guide, a user manual and a sticky buckle; you must supply a PD/QC fast adapter and a USB-C to C cable for the separate charging port.
Which connector orientation suits my headset — the 90° USB-C or a straight plug?
This model has a fixed 90° USB-C connector designed to hook the headset firmly and survive 45000+ bend tests; no straight-plug version is offered for the DI401-1.
