If you don't want to watch the video that's cool, here's a summary;

Over the last few months I've been testing various cables for use with my four sensor setup. What I quickly discovered was that not all cables are created equal in the eyes of the Oculus Rift!

The Rift and Sensors can be a bit stubborn when it comes to cables. Some work intermitantly, some report USB 3.0 as USB 2.0, some give audio issues when using with the Rift and some just point blank refused to work.

I think I've finally nailed down the best cables which I've personally tested and would recommend to use with your Rift.

Due to the summer sale I know we have an influx of new Rift users so hopefully this guide helps.

Here's the links where you can buy these cables for yourself;

u/mikegriffin84 · 25 pointsr/oculus

This is what I have experimented with and works great on multiple systems... For you look at step 2 and 3.

1st GET A THIRD SENSOR IF YOU WANT TRUE ROOMSCALE "they are on backorder at the moment"

2nd Get three of these for your sensors to make sure they can reach anywhere you want them too: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0179MXKU8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

3rd Get 2 of these to completely isolate all of you VR components from the sometimes janky unreliable USB ports on A LOT of motherboards that cannot supply enough power and/or bandwidth for all of the cameras and HMD to work properly I chose this card because it only has two ports and both of those ports work no matter if you plug in 2 sensors or 1 sensor and the HMD. The Inatek card DOES have issues for somewhere some ports work and others do not and are still only being able to run 2 sensors off the Inatek card and having to run the HMD and 3rd sensor off the motherboard. The Orico card just works and you don't have to think about experimenting with ports just plug everything into the two Orico cards in any configuration and go. Also use the default Windows drivers whether you go with the Inatek or Orico card only upgrade after trying the defaults drivers without success: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AVSN2YG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

4th This is optional. One of these for extending your HMD HDMI cable by 15ft for a total of 28ft: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D5EUD2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

5th This repeater is required to make the HDMI cable above work, but with this repeater, the extension is flawless: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHL72XS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

6th To extend the Rift HMD USB I use the USB 2.0 Active Extension Monoprice Repeater Cable that comes with the 3rd sensor it is 16ft long, works perfectly. Then I used a small piece of electrical tape every 6 inches from the HMD to the PC to make the extended HMD cable one piece leaving about 2 ft of cable loose at the end to be able to plug in wherever I want.
I did a lot of research bought the Inateck and Orico USB add-on cards, multiple active USB extensions, multiple different HDMI adapters and extensions of varying lengths, Display port to HDMI adapters, DVI to HMDI adapters, and did all the experimentation and testing required to make all this work. The list I listed above works every time on multiple systems in different environments, rooms, and households.
If you need clarification on anything and/or want more information, feel free to respond or message me. I will gladly help.

After you get your USB cards installed and you sensors plugged in with the hardware I listed above reboot the system and the follow the below instructions.

Also when you get your stuff after everything is installed and setup do this as a last step for good measure:
Once the sensor setup has fully completed, search for PowerShell in the Windows start menu, right click it, and click 'Run as administrator'
Copy all of this PowerShell script (hit Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C), then paste it into the PowerShell window (Ctrl-V), then hit Enter
Once it has completed, close PowerShell and restart your computer (this is important)
Here is the link to the script, just copy all the text on the page and past it into powershell: http://pastebin.com/raw/9f9MMny1
This basically sets all of your usb cards and ports to a high power no sleep mode and assures that Windows doesn't try to manage your usb's at the wrong time in the wrong way. I am not sure if I needed to do this but I just did it for good measure. I did all of the manually until I found this script that somebody else on reddit made. Just makes it quicker and easier than changing all the settings one by one.

Note if you haven't done this already you can do it now with your current setup to see if it helps "Probably won't but it may"

u/gfxlonghorn · 10 pointsr/oculus

It took me a while to find the right combination of parts that worked. I work in graphics hardware, so I have access to a bunch of HDMI adapters to try to make it work, but I never had a noise on HDMI. It either worked or was all black.This HDMI repeater worked for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHL72XS/

u/vanfanel1car · 7 pointsr/oculus

Get a repeater like this if you're having problems.

u/GhettoRice · 5 pointsr/oculus

You should be buying on Amazon or locally so you can return ones that don't work. If you have $200 of cables kicking around that don't work then you should really look at returning them or learn to purchase smarter through retailers you can return things too.

With that being said I had issues with extending my HDMI on a 1080 card and this extender worked like a charm. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GHL72XS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519584953&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=COWEEN+HDMI+Repeater+4K+UHD+HDMI+Female+to+Female+HDMI+Amplifier&dpPl=1&dpID=41Cjp8ODTWL&ref=plSrch

It seems not all dvi to hdmi adapters will work, the cable matters works for some people at least. There is also the cable matter display port to hdmi adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K0UDYLM

You can also try use a HDMI repeater instead of extension https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHL72XS/

u/whitedragon101 · 3 pointsr/oculus

If the answer is yes then you need an HDMI signal booster. Everyone i have seen is using this one. No latency and fixes the problem. Sold under different brands but all are the same thing.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GHL72XS/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1498902984&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hdmi+booster&dpPl=1&dpID=41Cjp8ODTWL&ref=plSrch

u/HoboWithAGun · 3 pointsr/oculus

OP try using this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GHL72XS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1523574427&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=HDMI+repeater&dpPl=1&dpID=41Cjp8ODTWL&ref=plSrch

The issue might be coming from the fact that your particular graphics card isn't outputting enough power through the HDMI port and the length of the cable is causing too much resistance for a solid signal.

u/ca1ibos · 3 pointsr/oculus

Not all HDMI sockets on GPU's are created equal. Looks like the Strix was delivering enough voltage down the extensions whereas the MSI isn't. You likely just need to buy a 4K Compatible HDMI Repeater. The recommended one is THIS ONE Sells on US/UK/DE Amazon under different brand names but if it looks like the one linked its likely the correct one.

u/phoenixdigita1 · 2 pointsr/oculus

Just remember not all cables and lengths will work. The Rift is pretty finicky about getting quality signals. 2m works for most people but 3m or more, some people do run into issues.

These cables worked for me.

has worked fine on 3 setup for me so far without issue. I have had many troubles with other products but this was perfect for me.

u/yukkerz · 2 pointsr/oculus

Some people can't get the 10ft HDMI extension to work without a repeater. As far as usb you want a repeater both to help with signal loss.

u/nostalgicBadger · 2 pointsr/oculus

I had to add a repeater to get a 10' extension to work. This is the one I'm using now. I was still having some issues at first with the sound dropping out, but after unplugging, plugging back in, and restarting the computer, it's working fine.

u/knexfan0011 · 2 pointsr/oculus

Others have had success with HDMI repeaters like this one.

u/keithian · 2 pointsr/oculus

I had no luck with the 10' Cable Matters USB 3.0 or the Monoprice 10' HDMI for the Headset. However, I did have success with the Cable Matters 6' and 10' for the sensors when I grouped them right next to each other on the back of my PC as my computer has the USB 3.0s in pairs in the various locations that they exist on the PC. The 10' Cable Matters HDMI wasn't available. Anyway, when I got them I realized I didn't need quite that length anyway.

I have two 3' Cable Matters for the USB and HDMI coming tomorrow so I can test that. If that doesn't work, I'm going to try ordering a 2k4K repeater which apparently helped some. There are 4 I found on Amazon, 3 run at 30hz and 1 at 60hz. I don't know if that matters as a repeater with 60hz only had two reviews on Amazon. If none of that works, I'll email Oculus Support :-)

u/HydroGalactic · 2 pointsr/oculus

Does the hdmi extender have a built in repeater? If not you'll need one of these.

I had similar issues where it was playing fine for months then started cutting in and out to where it became unplayable. Thought I may have busted the cord so bought a new one. That didn't help so then realized it was my hdmi cords fault, got the repeater, and that solved my issue.

and https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHL72XS for the hdmi, i imagine something similar would work for rift s

u/WannabeTesla · 2 pointsr/oculus

This was the only thing that worked for me. After trying one other repeater, several different extenders, all in different slots through converters.

u/flawlesssin · 2 pointsr/oculus

Because it won't work. You have to have an HDMI repeater, which generally costs $10-15. They also have cable sleeving on them which is about $7-8.

I was looking into making one but for everything you see it's will cost about $35-40 for a 10' extension plus having to deal with sleeving cables. I don't think $20 extra is too bad a deal to have everything assembled and sent to your door. Especially if you hate cable sleeving like me.

You could always just use cable ties and it'd make it about $30 and a little easier, but if you don't like ugly cables the sleeving is the way to go.

For anyone wondering here's my list of items needed to make one (please note I have not personally tested any of these cables. These are recommendations from another user (I think OP)):

u/JamesIV4 · 1 pointr/oculus

I use a thicker braided cable, 15 ft, to reduce the likelihood of problems and haven’t had any.

I’ve had lots of USB issues, but that’s a different story.. the HDMI issues I mentioned were with my computer monitor when I was using cheap cables. Having too long of a cable can also cause issues (but in those cases I’ve seen flickering, the green snow was from a bad/cheap cable).

Edit: here’s the exact gear I use

u/bifurk8 · 1 pointr/oculus

Yep, extensions are fucky. I'd recommend adding an hdmi repeater, something like this. Mine's been reliable since doing so.

u/samtheredditman · 1 pointr/oculus

The Best Buy vr headset cable didn't work for my rift so I pulled the cables apart and used the 3.0 extension for my second sensor since I was out of the return period. Works perfect for that.

Here's what I got for my headset and the only things I'd recommend for headset extensions:

hdmi cable

hdmi repeater

usb 3 cable

inateck usb 3 card

The usb extender cable wouldn't work with anything besides the usb 3 card for me so I would say just buy it too. Though, I can only plug 2 things into the usb card.

These 4 things solved all my problems though. You can roll the dice on the best buy cord, but there's a decent chance you'll have to buy this stuff after and this way you get 15ft of extension instead of 9.

u/donkeyshame · 1 pointr/oculus

I ended up with an $11 HDMI repeater based on some recommendations here, and then just used it with an existing 15 foot HDMI cable I had laying around. Works great!

Edit: GTX 1080

u/Nostrildumbass · 1 pointr/oculus

This is what I got. I'd suggest you just get the same, plenty of people got this same combo. Keep in mind the HDMI cable is braided and a little bit rigid.

u/mrimmaculate · 1 pointr/oculus

I built my extension with passive ten foot cables from Cable Matters, a Redmere Monoprice HDMI cable, a cheap 4k HDMI repeater, and some half inch cable sleeving.

If you buy active cables you can go a bit longer.

O

You obviously don't need those cables. The Hdmi extender works great even for a cable as long as mine. It should be no problem to get the extra 3ft you want. My setup is completely passive, even the USB cable is not using extra power as the Rift headset doesn't demand much.

u/helusay · 1 pointr/WindowsMR

I have posted this previously.
Here is what I used to make my extension for my Samsung Odyssey:

HDMI Cable

HDMI Repeater

USB Extension

I saw that part of issue with extensions not working was the lack of an HDMI repeater.

Here is the video that I watched to learn how to build one. Only difference is I opted for 10ft. instead of 15ft.

u/BL24L · 1 pointr/oculus

Yeah I checked it out again and it's more like $60 to do it correctly @ 16' with a repeater and ceiling mount. Think that $80 - $100 included extending the sensors.

Still it gets to the point that's it's enough money that I would prefer to spend more and have the headset wireless.

u/carrotstien · 1 pointr/Vive

I was using a normal 6 footer hdmi..which was working, but the 6 footer..or was it 8 footer display port wouldn't give me a consistent experience.

Now for the oculus, which def needs an extension, i'm using this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHL72XS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i couldn't find a similar thing for display port. I have heard that dvi to hdmi works well.

u/softawre · 1 pointr/oculus

I also had trouble with extenders, but recently found a setup that works, and I'm glad I did that versus a box that is bulky (because I route everything up on the ceiling).

This is what worked for me at 10 feet:

Regular 10ft HDMI cable

Cheapish HDMI repeater


USB Extender cable

This is with a 1070 and a Rift Touch.

Not all cables are created equal. :) I had to go through 4 or 5 on the "this should work list" before I ended up just getting one of these. Works fine now.

I also have a 908ti TI and lets talk about the money i've burned trying to get the cable extended at all:

  • Works fine with no HDMI extensions, even if using a USB extension.
  • Any length extension plugged into HDMI causes problems.
  • A 3ft extension is "playable" but occasionally the screen will flash white TV static snow. It's annoying.. but not the end of the world.
  • A longer extension is a black screen.. period. Sometimes you get an image for a bit but then it's black. Yay..
  • Decided to switch to display port using an adapter, same shit.

    So I got a HDMI -> DVI:

  • WORKS except.. occasional random pixels will turn white for a frame, creating this "magical sparkly effect."
  • The shorter the extension, the less frequent and less numerous sparklies.
  • Since this is only visible in dark scenes and even when it is.. is less distracting then the whole screen turning into static for a few frames I am leaving it like this for now.

    "So you are all in on the sparklies then?" No actually, I just ordered this:

    Per the top comment, and when it shows up I'll test this out on both DVI and HDMI ports and see what happens. Hopefully I can finally truly enjoy roomscale/standing VR without the wire being too short and the screen being wonky due to extenders.

    Then.. Oculus can fix the tracking issues, and it'll be perfect. Not saying I am not enjoying the rift, i rate it at 97% perfect enjoyment, just trying to coax that last three percent out.

The HDMI cable did not work because it was not an active cable. Either get this plus this to maybe solve your problem or get this plus this. I have this cable coming tomorrow so I will know if it will work or not then. I am making a breakout box for my Rift.

I was able to get a cheap 15ft hdmi to work with a hdmi booster similar to this one>

Or go with an HTC Link Box to extend hdmi, you may be able to go longer than 15ft, I read that people have used a PC>15ft hdmi>linkbox>hdmi cable extention>VR.

I concur. This seems to be the recommended one, had I needed it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHL72XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_N2jMzbH16QP9Z

It may be your new video card just doesn't handle the length as well. Had the same problem with the same cable when I went from a 980ti to a 1080ti. I just added a 4k hdmi repeater (like 10 bucks on amazon). Keep in mind you will need either a Male to male connector to hook it to the insignia extension or a small hdmi jumper. The repeaters are single direction signal flow so make sure you hook it up correctly but it should take care of you issue.

I have my Rift working fine with a 10m HDMI cable using this repeater

u/WTFyoukay · 1 pointr/oculus

had troubles with 10ft hdmi extensions, got a repeater and it worked fine. USB 3 10ft extentions no problems, grab the cable matters ones off amazon, have 3 of em no issues. repeater & USB 3.0 extention and any 10ft high speed HDMI cable.

I use this hdmi extender and usb extension cable. I used a spare hdmi cable I had.

Just make sure to follow the input and output on the hdmi extender. It won’t work otherwise and you risk spending an hour trying to figure out why.

You need to have a repeater attached, not sure if this is listed in any of the links. Here is a good one from amazon https://www.amazon.com/COWEEN-Repeater-Amplifier-Extender-Transmission/dp/B01GHL72XS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541242948&sr=8-4&keywords=hdmi+repeate

Can't speak from experience but seems the biggest issue most people have is just the power component. Found this USB on Amazon that says it's been tested with a few headsets, then this HDMI repeater to boost the HDMI side, just need a cable for it as well. Like I said, haven't tried any of this myself, but Amazon returns are easy enough to be worth a shot if I was in your situation since they do flat out say VR headset names in the descriptions of each.

u/Madamserious · 1 pointr/oculus

Plan out you playspace, there's lots of information about it, but I suggest reading the Oculus information, should be in the faq here. If you need cable extensions for the rift use this with any good hdmi cable, put it between the hdmi cable and the rift cable, because standard extensions may not work. And you got Touch right?

I'd recommend getting an HDMI repeater. This will turn your passive cord into a active. I have a generic cheap 10ft hdmi cord that works great with it. Plus with this you don't need to worry about getting an extension cable or coupler, any normal cable will work. One person stated his repeater worked with a 25ft HDMI cord with his Rift.

For anything over 6 feet hdmi, I needed a repeater. This is the one I use, and what the Op recommends.

SHENFAN 4K2K HDMI Antenna Splitter Repeater Signal Amplifier Booster Adapter Extender UP TO 40 Meters Transmission Distance https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M02Z4FU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_We2GAbG28VK5W

Currently unavailable from that link but it seems lots of people have successfully extended hdmi with this.

Edit: actually OP recommends:

COWEEN HDMI Repeater 4K UHD HDMI Female to Female HDMI Amplifier 40' HDMI Extender Up to 40 Meters Lossless Transmission for Oculus Rift and More
