I'm looking at Quest link cables and I'm noticing that the normal 3rd party USB A to USB C cables use USB 3.0 and offer 5GBPS speeds, but the more expensive/official cables offer speeds up to 10GBPS. What's the difference? Does it actually do anything?

If the USB device supported 3.2, it would double the bandwidth from 5GB to 10GB, but Quest2 only supports 3.0.
A good side question though, what does Quest Pro support (or the pending quest 3 which I'm imagining will be the pro, minus eye tracking)???

I hope the Quest 3 supports 3.2, I can imagine how well it handles compression and latency!

Pure bandwidth is only a part of the equation. It's latency and stability increases that improve the link capabilities. Also some mobos has a direct 3.2 port if you get an Intel. That said most of the performance will be gpu bound.

I agree 100%, I was purely speaking to 3.2 vs 3.1/3.0.
