INIU DI401 16 ft VR Link Cable
The INIU DI401 is a 16 ft USB 3.0 Type-C cable built for Meta Quest 3, 3S, 2 and Pico 4 headsets. It delivers 2.5 Gbps data transfer while a separate USB-C charging port supplies up to 3 A power during play. The male-to-male design connects a gaming PC to the headset for SteamVR and PCVR titles.
Upgrade from short or charging-only cables
A standard short cable tethers the player to the PC and cannot charge while streaming. The 16 ft length adds room-scale freedom, and the dedicated charging input keeps the headset near 78 % battery during long sessions. The jump is worth it when the existing cable limits movement or forces frequent battery breaks.
Simple plug-in with a 90° angled head
The right-angle USB-C connector hooks securely into the headset and survives 45 000 bend cycles. A sticky buckle straps the cable to the head strap, preventing accidental disconnects during active play. Installation fails when users plug the charging port into a low-power USB-A port or use an extension cable that drops the charging rate.

Questions about this item
What is the cable length and connector type for the INIU DI401 link cable?
The cable measures 16 ft and uses a USB Type C male-to-male connector with a 90° angled plug on the headset end.
How do I install the cable and which step is often missed?
Plug the USB-A end into a USB 3.0 port on your PC, connect the 90° USB-C end to the headset, attach the included sticky buckle to secure it, and use a separate USB-C to C cable with a PD/QC adapter on the cable's extra charging port for power.
What maintenance or replacement will the cable need over time?
The FLYWEAVE jacket and 90° joint are rated for 45000+ bend cycles; inspect the connectors and strap periodically, and replace the cable if the jacket frays or the locking buckle no longer holds the headset firmly.
