skittulls Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Has anyone found an extension cable for the Vive Link Box power plug? I purchased a 3.5mm x 1.3mm but it ended up not being the right size. I guess that's the size for the headset side of the linke box. I want to move the wall wart out of the way and use the extension cable. From everything I could find and my own measurements, it looks like the plug is 3.75mm x 1.35mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Have you tried just using a power strip or normal extension cord and daisy chaining it?-John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittulls Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 That's how I have it now. The problem is that now the wall wart is dragging on the ground which is putting stress on the wire connection. If I can get an extension, then the wall wart will be in the outlet and the wires can move freely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittulls Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 No, I believe that one is for the lighthouse base station. That is not the size for the link box power cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittulls Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Is there anyway to just order the two barrel connectors from HTC to make an extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittulls Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Here is what I'm working on for anyone else running into this same issue. I just ordered the below two items from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291697424917 http://www.ebay.com/itm/391398047669 and this from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-Female-Coupler-Adapter-Cable/dp/B007FN910U/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1490939192&sr=8-12&keywords=usb+coupler I don't know if these will be the right size but I'm going to find out. I will post back here what I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittulls Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 This ended up working. I cut the plugs off and attached them to a longer cable. The male connector they sent was actually 3.5mm and not 3.8mm like advertised but the female plug was 3.8mm. The 3.5mm seems to be working but I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing this :) I tried ordering more 3.8mm male connectors since they're onyl $2 shipped. I'll report back if these are the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
