Reddit reviews UGREEN HDMI Extension Cable 4K HDMI Extender Male to Female Compatible for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One S 360, PS5, PS4, Roku TV Stick, Blu Ray Player, PS3, Google Chromecast, Wii U, HDTV Laptop PC 6FT

This HDMI extender works with the 980ti - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A30FLE2

I'm using it right now.

The USB extender is another story, still trying to find one that shows up as USB3 and not USB2

Must buy accessories:

6ft USB 3.0 extender

6ft HDMI Extender

I went for 6ft because I heard people had issues with picture quality degrading at 10ft+

Wall Charger for 4 AA's

8 rechargeable AA's

I've read that certain motherboards work better than others for extensions without power. That being said, my Odyssey+ with an Asus H170 motherboard has worked fine with this 6ft HDMI extension and this 6ft USB extension.

I've been thinking about doing something like this.

As for the HDMI/USB extension, I have an Odyssey and have been using the 6 foot versions of these things with pretty great results so far:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7S2FRE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However, I've heard that going longer than something like 10 feet requires an active cable, but I don't know the specifics of it.

I had endless problems with USB. Problem is it's different for everyone, many are fine with just their Motherboard's.


What I can tell you, if you want to run extension cables, the money no object solution (the only thing that go everything working acceptably for me) is the following:


Startech PEXUSB3S44V

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00HJZEA2S


Also, found many of the recommended cables hit and miss but Ugreen's have been excellent. Always use the shortest you can.


For 2m I have these on one sensor and one on the Rift itself:

I also have 1m and 3m version on my other two sensors.


To go with the 2m extension to the Rift (only if needed obvious) I used (again Ugreen):

Best of luck. Look forward to seeing you in there

I bought a ugreen hdmi extension, and an Amazon basics usb 3.0 extension, working perfectly. From Amazon.ca

Edit; links.

I'm running a gigabyte z170 motherboard, and a GTX 1080ti reference card. All 3 sensors + headset are into motherboard, no expansion card needed for me.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A30FLE2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered both of these, based on Tyriel Wood's review of them, and said they're working great on his Ody+, and mine has too. No issues.

I have the Aorus 1080ti and have no issues with extensions. I'm using separate cables for each though as I've heard some of those specific headset extensions can be a pain. I got these and so far so good -

Edit: I clipped the two together and no issues with tangling and that. This also helps a lot - http://lightingandceilingfans.com/wp-content/uploads/imgp/regolit-floor-lamp-6-7275.jpg

Would like to say this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A30FLE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 HDMI extension works well too! :)

The is wat i bought... i think its the same

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00A30FLE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It depends on which hdmi standard it supports, how long your extension is and your graphics card, apparently. Search for hdmi extension in this subreddit. I remember that there was an FAQ on extensions as well. Tonight I'll add links to things I bought to my article.

This is the extension I bought.

Sure, that was on the german website though.

Manitoba here, these worked for me:

UGREEN HDMI Extension Cable 6ft

AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Extension Cable - A-Male to A-Female - 9.8 Feet

Any decent quality thick 6ft extension cables should work fine for most cases, but with longer cables there's might be problems. I use these (USB 6ft. and HDMI 6ft.) extension cables made by UGreen and they works great with my Lenovo Explorer.

If you have any problems here are some links

6' usb - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C7S2FRE

6' HDMI - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A30FLE2

I know these work 100%

I use this, works fine.

For USB I use Amazon Basics 3m Passive cable. For HDMI I use this. There are more cables on the wiki from this subreddit

I used these cables from Amazon:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A30FLE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're both 6 feet. Works fine with my Odyssey

I got the Ugreen hdmi extension and it's working well so far. I also use their USB extension.

I'm using these and they work great.

This one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00A30FLE2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've got it hooked up and around at the back now so it avoids the GPU exhaust. I've had no probs at all since then!

I use this 6ft HDMI and 6ft USB. They work great.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00P0ES0YE/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i use These for the sensors and this usb and this Hdmi for the headset.. they work well for me.

For 2 meters or less almost any decent cable will work, bigger than that you need active cables and hdmi repeater.

These are the ones I use and they work perfectly (6ft, 2m)

Not sure if "cord commander" (awesome name btw) is the same as Cable Guardian but yes, I can also highly recommend a ceiling setup if possible. I built mine with these: Keychains, HDMI extension, USB extension

I have also crafted a solution for the keychain HMD pull issue, and will be posting pics and instructions when I get them prepared.

I am using This and This and they work fine.

Rearrange the space as already suggested.


I used these and they worked perfectly

UGREEN 10373 USB Extension Lead... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00P0ES0YE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

UGREEN 10142 2 m HDMI HDMI Black... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A30FLE2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


They do longer ones I only needed 2m for my setup

I used this USB3 and this HDMI 2m extension cable, they work great on my Visor.
