What is Reddit's opinion of CABLEDECONN Fiber 8K 4K DisplayPort Cable DP 1.4 HBR3 8K@60Hz 4K@144Hz High Speed 32.4Gbps Optical Fiber Slim and Flexible DP to DP Cable 10m 33ft?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Ah didn't know there were these types of cables! Do you mean something like this? Seems to have good reviews, only thing I think that is "missing" is no vesa certification and doesn't outright say that it supports DSC, just that DP 1.4 supports it.

Theres a lot of posts about this. It seems very doable. a cable like this with a female to female coupler is often recommended:

These 10 meter cables (and F/F DP adapter) work perfectly for me:

This setup has worked perfectly for me the last 2 years.

For 33ft/10m , just search for equivalent for the length you want.

You'll need some active extension cables. Here's an optical fiber displayport cable and here's a usb 3.0 extension. Little pricey but that's about the only way to do it for that length. Best of luck

I got this DisplayPort cable from amazon plus a generic DP to DP coupler

And this USB extension from monoprice

It's worked well for me for almost two years, I roll cables up to store and unroll the cables when using them. I have occasional sparkles in the headset now so the cable could be having issues after all this time but I am more inclined to think it's the cable on the headset itself.

I'd simply try and if you feel like you're risking anything by tripping or the cables are stretched you can just use an extension (displayport + F/F connector and USB 3.0 extension).

My computer is in my office and the index set up in the living room next door, ~10m away. Shorter setups likely are cheaper, as you'd probably only need 5m cables at max to have more flexibility how to safely place them.

I linked what I currently use as reference (from german amazon though, just to give you an idea).

If you need 30ft, why not just go with a fiber cable?

https://www.amazon.com/CABLEDECONN-DisplayPort-Flexible-32-4Gbps-Displayport/dp/B00V7NOST8

i paid $87 USD. the 20m and the 30m ones are marginally more expensive.

I don't think so but you can use USB and DisplayPort extensions and they work fine. I was getting sparkles at first but then I reversed the DP coupler and no more sparkles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DP need to be fiber. USB 3.0 iirc

I used the following cables:

DisplayPort extension

DisplayPort Coupler

USB extension

The 8KX works for me with a 10meter (33 ft) optical display port cable and the same coupler that you linked. It could depend on the output strength of the displayport on your GPU whether you would need an active repeater vs the passive coupler. Can you get away with a 30 ft cable rather than 60ft? I think your chances would be much better with the 30ft. This is the one that worked for me.

This one works for me except that I got these white flashing dots and I'm not sure if it's the cable or the adapter, but if the active adapter causes the same issue I'm guessing it's the cable.

Really any fiber optic displayport cable is going to be able to extend just fine. The usb is the harder one to get.

Here are the two extenders I use.

Display port

USB cable

This is an expensive solution overall but it has worked reliably for me and the camera's work on the headset meaning the usb connection is good. I've experienced no connection dropping at all with this setup. Occasionally after long sessions I'll see the a small amount green sparkle on perfectly dark scenes but it's only noticeable if I'm looking for it.

EDIT: you'll also need a female to female adapter for the displayport cable but those are super cheap.

I think that's typical of those kinds of fiber optic "long distance" video cables, I guess they only have the "transmitter" on one end and the "receiver" on the other. Why make the cable even more expensive by having it be bi-directional, etc etc.

From what I see it is actually custom: https://github.com/Joeyjoe9876/Valve-Index-Cable

However, I understand what you're saying and I'll probably just be have to extend the USB and DP.

For a 30 meter cable (https://www.amazon.com/CABLEDECONN-Optical-FlexibleCable-32Gbps-Displayport/dp/B00V7NOST8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=fiber+optic+dp&qid=1599738863&sr=8-3) I will need only 1 active repeater? Same for the USB?

EDIT: Looks like this USB already contains the repeater (https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Active-Extension-Cable-Female/dp/B07RZ2S2LQ/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=pluggable+active+usb+30+meter&qid=1599745527&sr=8-6).

I extended my G1's cable with the recommended 3 metre DP cable and a USB 3 and it glitches and blacks out when the headset is set to 90hz. When I swapped out the 3m USB 3.0 for a powered USB 3.0 it still blacked out and glitched at 90hz but when the headset was set to 60hz it worked fine.

So the issue is that 4360x2160 res @ 90hz is just too much for any standard cable extension. I'm assuming that the fact they managed to extend the cable of the G2 to 6m and make it thinner means they copied Oculus Optical Display port cable.

Similarily you will likely be able to extend the G2 with an Optical Display Port Cable, Active Coupler and an Active USB 3.0 cable.

Someone in the reviews confirms it works on Reverb G1 and mentions the need for an active coupler.

>I have tried a dozen different cables now all promising they would have a high enough bandwidth or speed to handle the HP Reverb on paper, non have worked until now.

>This is the only cable I have found that works. I tried both the 3m and the 10 m cable, both worked flawlessly.

>They need to be paired to an active DP coupler to work correctly, a standard non powered one will not do. I used this on an it worked no problem:

>A must by if you want to use your VR headset a long way from your PC.

Thus it should work on the G2. Wish I'd known about the POtical DP cables when I bought my extensions a few months ago

Dont have one that i can reccomend(kinda in the same boat of thinking about it) but from what i understand you would want a fiber one for long distances which would be costly

heres one with a review that mentions working with index https://www.amazon.com/CABLEDECONN-Optical-FlexibleCable-32Gbps-Displayport/dp/B00V7NOST8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=fiber%2Bdisplayport%2Bcable&qid=1584226183&sprefix=fibre%2Bdispl&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1

Or if you wanna risk hassle heres a much cheaper one with a review that said no for index but could have just been a issue with something else https://www.amazon.com/Fiber-Optic-Cable，8K-DisplayPort-Cable/dp/B07YTSF3LC/ref=pd_gwm_rtpb_2?pf_rd_s=grid-5&pf_rd_t=Gateway&pf_rd_i=mobile&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pd_rd_wg=iJt1D&pd_rd_r=ZZBN8V4TTKNTB13JVS7J&pd_rd_w=g5kDx&amp...

Also heres a active f to f "coupler" that ive seen mentioned a few times on the sub(also looks like lots of reviews regarding index as well) https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-102039-DisplayPort-Repeater/dp/B07D949F59/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=DisplayPort+Coupler&qid=1582446858&s=electronics&sr=1-5

Also dont forget you would need a active 3.0 usb extension as well(dont have time to dig through amazon for a link atm but im sure they are more common)
