Performance and tests

In our own testing in Meta Link software (formerly Oculus Link), the cable hits around 2.5 Gbps throughput, on average 0.2-0.4 Gbps more than the official Meta/Oculus cable (tested on a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop, i7-10750H, RTX 2060). It works with Meta Link and the older Quest Link / Oculus Link, and with SteamVR and SideQuest on board you can also run titles beyond the Meta platform (Half-Life: Alyx, Pavlov VR, No Man's Sky and plenty more).
