I get that when you're trying to help and people go silent about their specs you get frustrated, but at least your setup is working and you can hop off the forums to play!

I have two ideas.First:Oculus does not want you tu use custom cables and now says yours is bad so please buy the official link cable for $$$.Second:What happened on my side was, I had a JOTO 3m cable and after every usage I put it back into a bag, always rolling it up so that it fits in there. After only 2-3 months the cable was suddenly (just as it happened on your side) not detected any more and I had to buy a new one. Now it works again.I was always using the same USB-port and the same 5m cablecreation extension.Cables do not live forever, especially when you don't take much care. The Quest needs a high-bandwidth cable. And this bandwidth gets lost the less you take care of your cable. Never roll it up.So maybe you just try a different cable and probably you should also make a bandwidth test. My cable gives a bandwidth of 1.7Gbps which is okay for 8m but it shouldn't be much less.What's your bandwidth?And are you sure your cable is still fine?

Ever since I got the official Link cable from Oculus when it was first released, I have not had a moments problem using my Quest via Link.
Maybe I am just very lucky. Perhaps using it in my motherboard's front panel USB C-Port helps also as I am sure it is not being shared with any other devices.

Well the second part of your post blows away your first ! Oculus have even taken the time to test and recommend a 3rd party cable. Link is beta, so I am sure they are always tweaking stuff trying to get more out of it, and I am sure that breaks stuff - but c'mon.
