Best Quest 3 cable for pcvr?

Just picked up a Quest 3 and looking for the best cable for longer pcvr sessions, to keep it charged while in use. Any recommendations?

This will keep the headset charged as well as data transfer -

odd that that one is 2.5gbp usb 3. I thought it was accepted that 5gbps (i.e. usb 3.2 gen 1 ) was the minimum for quest 2 and 3. queset one is fine with 2.5gbp

Despite the cable speed, I think it may be limited by the encoding abilities of the GPU and the decoding abilities of the headset. AV1 may change all this though.

I had the Kiwi, but now have the Inui one, simply for the long sessions on DCS...

I've just ordered the Inui one, was quite surprised how quickly the battery drained just testing it out

I've found the opposite. I did a 2 hour race in VR on iRacing and still had 50% battery at the end of it (roughly, I can't remember exactly).
