Oculus Rift S and 3m displayport extension

13 replies

Hello!

I found a topic on here describing the 2m displayport extension you sell as being tested with a valve index and oculus. Can the same be said about the 3m displayport extension you carry? Will it work with a rift s?

This one:

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

This is currently being tested by Club3d more information expected soon.

Hi,

The CAC-1023 has been tested and works perfectly. 

Thank you very much for the swift testing of the Rift S, I appreciate it a lot!

Hi arebokert.

To be more specific it was tested with an HP reverb virtual reality headset. since the specs for this model are higher than the required standards of the Rift-s it can be said that the CAC-1023 will work on the Rifs-s as well.

Hmm, the issue I see is that the reverbs default cable is 3.5m while the Rift S cable is 5m.

The reason I was having doubts if the 3m extension would work is that the default cable is 5m already, and extending it by 3m to a total of 8m could result in problems. Extending the reverbs cable by 3m means less length (total 6.5m) than the Rift S would have with even a 2m extension (total 7m).

Is there any possibility you could test it with a Rift S?

Hi arebokert,

at the moment this is not possible, however you are free to try and share your findings. :) 

That's unfortunate as the only site that sells this cable where I live has a no-returns policy if you break the packaging.

I do however really need an extension so I guess I'll take a leap of faith here and buy it. I'll report back.

After a few hours of testing I can say that the 3m extension cable does not work. The screen of the Oculus Rift S remains black. The computer sometimes finds the headset and sometimes doesn't, but at all times the headset screen remains black. One or two times I managed to get some signal in the headset but it had a lot of issues including tracking not working properly and scattered white dots blinking around making the headset unusable.

Very unfortunate as I now have a cable I can't use for anything and can't be returned.

After testing I can safely say that the 3m extension does not work, at all, with the Oculus Rift S. See my other reply for details.

Hi arebokert,

May i ask what computer setup you use, it can be that the USB-A is not enough to deliver enough power to the Oculus in that case the cable is perfectly fine but it will be a power issue.

My computer has the following components:

Asus ROG Strix X570-F

G.Skill 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL14 Trident

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Dual OC

EVGA Supernova G3 750W

I did not use a USB extension. I bought a USB extension but did not use it because the displayport cable did not work without a USB extension so I figured it wouldn't work any better with one. I did try with the extension a few times though and got the same result.

I do not believe it is an issue with the USB ports but rather the cable simply making the displayport total too long at 8 meters. The Rift S seems to not like too long displayport cables.
