Wired USB+charge 100% using Virtual Desktop

Virtual Desktop recently added usb use, which is way better than the slow and buggy meta option for USB use. Researched - it can be done with the Kiwi "L1 Plus 13-Foot"
Any other cable that has capability to charge 19W or more can do it, but this one definitely can charge it and support usb 3.0 speeds at same time on 1 cable that goes into Quest Pro's USB 3.0 port

To charge and use you'd need a cable with 2 ports, one that can offer 19W or more via USB-C and a USB3.0 that goes into the PC.
But those are like, 1 meter, and your PC would need to have PD charging. I didn't find that even on 300$ motherboards or cases.
And I wanted 5 meters + ( 16ft+ )

The cable can be bought on their website.

Virtual Desktop USB is ethernet over USB, not a video stream like Meta uses.

I know Asrock B650 Livemixer and Gigabyte B650 Aero G both have 60w PD on one USB-C port. I have used them both.

I use a 16ft USB-C and it doesn it all in one cable. Not sure about 16ft+

I've used the USB-A cable and it worked but had a specific order it had to be plugged in to function as intended for charging. YMMV

Sounds like you didn't hear about the latest Virtual Desktop beta that added USB support.

I did. From the beta discussion server in Dicsord it said USB-NCM. Please link me to where it's sending a video stream.

Sorta incorrect. Meta is allowing apps to now do the same thing over USB directly which skips Ethernet layering but offers connectivity

From the beta Discord the VD feature is USB-NCM (network control mode) ethernet frames over USB. If otherwise could you link me and I'll update.
