For the cables to the PC, use HDMI high speed(amazon basics works). Use USB3 type A male to male Superspeed cables(cable matters brand works)
Pros: Allows you to extend your headset cable, included Bluetooth radio.
Cons: Not really a con, but no cables are power adapter included. Buy the recommend one here. It works fine.

Highly recommended if you'd like a proper solution to extending the Oculus Rift. You will also need an extra HDMI cable and USB Male to Male cable, but those are more easily found compared to the power supply.
I had originally extended the headset HDMI and USB cable with 6' cable extensions and from time to time, Windows would show an error that said the headset disconnected.... I could simply unplug the hdmi, plug it back in and the game would continue. However with the more recent updates to Oculus software, when this happened, it just froze or crashed the games - everything I ran was suddenly crashing.
I got this and now run a 6' regular HDMI cable, and 6' USB cable from the computer to the Link Box - then the headset runs into the Link Box. I have not had one single crash with my Oculus since get this. Very worth the price due to the fact that my Oculus is usable again.
Highly recommend if you are extending the cables on an Oculus Rift - you want the powered box here to ensure that length of cables doesn't cause issues like I had.
This box has allowed me to put the ports for the Odyssey+ on the front of my desk and leverage the full length of the attached cables. As others have said, buy the recommended power adapter and 6' extension cables. I also ordered some Velcro ties and strips to mange the cables and hold the box to the underside of the desk.

If you need a way to extend your cable length pretty far, this is not a bad option, but it is still as expensive as buying a 10ft UGREEN USB 3.0 cable, a 4k repeater and a 10ft HDMI 4k cable - only difference is that this is all in one box!
Be weary for you will still need an HDMI, a USB 3.0 cable with two male ends and a DC power supply for it to work with a rift. (No cables are included with the box).

It helped a little with the MR Portal errors, but that seems to be a Windows 10 error vs the headset. Overall I am very happy with it! The only gripe, like others have mentioned, is that you need to purchase all the cables separately.
Previously I could only drive the Oculus cable with no extension, now the whole run works fine.
Only caveat, it has to be reset occasionally(once every day or two), either HMD unplugged, or strangely one eye stops working. An unplug and replug fixes it every time.(to be clear, this could be a usb issue from the motherboard that is driving it)
Power cord is sold separately.
