Mini DisplayPort Cable for VIVE Link Box – 1.8 m DP to Mini DP

1.8 m DP to Mini DP link box cable: overview

This 1.8 m Mini DisplayPort cable connects your graphics card (DisplayPort) to an HTC VIVE link box (Mini DisplayPort).

Some setups need DisplayPort because, depending on the graphics card, the HDMI output cannot be used for VR.

The 1.8 m length gives more flexibility to place the link box away from the PC than the 1 m original.

VIVE owners whose GPU HDMI port is taken or unsupported for VR.

• PC VR gamers
• VR arcades and venues
• Developers and studios
• Training and simulation labs
• Home room-scale setups

How to choose the right VR accessory

Check the exact headset model first. VR accessories are rarely universal: straps, facial interfaces, lens protectors and cases are shaped for one headset generation, so a Quest 2 part will not fit a Quest 3. The compatibility section above lists every headset the part is designed for.

Third-party vs original parts. This is a third-party accessory designed to fit the listed headsets; it is not made or endorsed by the headset manufacturer. Third-party parts often add features the original lacks (extra padding, built-in batteries, washable materials) at a lower price, but they do not change the headset's own warranty terms.

For shared and commercial use, choose wipeable PU-leather or silicone surfaces, keep spare facial interfaces, and use disposable hygiene masks or caps so each user gets a clean contact surface. For PC VR, confirm your PC's ports and cable routing before buying cables or cable-management systems.

Setup and use

1. Connect DisplayPort to the GPU.
2. Connect Mini DP to the link box.
3. Start SteamVR.

Care and maintenance

Avoid sharp bends and knots, coil the cable loosely for storage, never pull it out by the cord, and route it away from feet and chair wheels. Check connectors for damage before use.
