Reddit mentions of Cable Matters Long USB to USB Extension Cable (USB 3.0 Extension Cable) in Blue 10 ft for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Playstation VR Headset and More

I have an Asus 1060 6GB. It is working with this HDMI cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D5H91KE/

I'm also using this USB extender: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008219UMI/

But, the USB extension would involve the motherboard more than the video card.

If you do go down that route you might have to try several different cables to get them to work it seems to be specific to people's Motherboard and GPU. For me, 980ti, this USB 3.0, HDMI and HDMI Repeater worked. Regardless of what you choose definitely pick up a HDMI Repeater or a HDMI to DVI dongle, it seems to be the key factor to get extensions to work for a bunch of peeps.

I've got a 980Ti and I just bought these two extenders, both work fine for me.

10ft usb

10ft hdmi

Thank you!

Yes all devices were recognized as 3.0. Here are the extensions:

USB

HDMI

Every USB port and GPU will function differently. The USB wattage draw is high enough to drop the voltage some across the cable. Some USB ports start out at 5.2-5.3 volts and they work better. Most "front" USB 3.0 ports already have a 18-24 inch extension and don't perform as well. The 10ft cables below work perfectly for me on a high end x299 rig with the 5v USB 3.0 and 3.1 that tap off the 12v bus. On another rig but the same odyssey + Headset the sound cuts out.


These are the best for for me.

If the 10 foot has problems for you the 3ft or 6ft might work. Try the Cable on Each USB port first. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008219UMI/

Also the controllers need high voltage batteries. If you use really good Panasonic Oneloop Pro's even they can give problems. When those NiMh's get down to about 1.2-12.5 volts (Even with 60% charge left) The odyssey can trigger a low battery warning and switch to 60hz mode degrading performance. https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-BK-3HCCA4BA-eneloop-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable/dp/B00JHKSL28/

The way around this is to run 1.6V NiZn Rechargeable cells instead. https://www.amazon.com/2500mAh-Rechargeable-Batteries-Battery-Charger/dp/B00WTRSTAU/

I've been using this hdmi cable without issue since May with my Asus strix 970

also using this usb extension

I've already managed it 20 feet with one of these I had lying around I had originally used with my CV1:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008219UMI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And a USBC to A cable I had but not sure the source.

This really is a case of experimenting and luck.

I used:


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008219UMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


and:


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GBBSZFE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


and have had great success.

So I ordered these two cables:

HDMI
and
USB

Turns out the 10 foot USB does not work on the Samsung Odyssey for me. I tried it in several USB ports and I keep getting the message to connect my headset. I tried it with a simple USB key and that worked.

Returning the 10 foot USB and getting the 6 foot instead.

The HDMI works perfectly.

I use these for my two front sensors that I’ve wall mounted without any issues:

For my rear sensor, I bought the sensor through Best Buy and it came with a USB extension cable. I wasn’t sure if the extension was USB 3 or not so I just made sure I pulled it into a USB 2

Hope this helps!

Im waiting on a Technoskin carrying bag with compartments for charger and several games/sd cards.

I have this 10ft long usb extension cable that makes it so I dont have to hug a wall.

I use a USB 3.0 Type A Male to Female Extension Cable and plug in the unifying receiver in to it that way I can move it close to where I sit and I have no problems. Like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Female-Extension/dp/B008219UMI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1520717139&sr=1-1&keywords=usb+extension+cable&refinements=p_n_feature_keywords_five_browse-bin%3A7800928011

You don't have to spend $500 on optical cables like that guy.

I extended an extra 10ft (for 25ft total) after the breakout box by spending $27 shipped - and I have a spare HDMI extender left:

I also recommend using a carabiner clip on your back belt loop to keep the cable away from your arms.
