Jabra Link 230 USB to QD Cable

Jabra Link 230 USB to QD Cable

The Jabra Link 230 is a simple but powerful cable that lets you connect any Jabra headset with a Quick Disconnect (QD) connector directly to a computer’s USB‑A port. Instead of using a desk phone base or a bulky adapter, this cable turns your QD headset into a plug‑and‑play USB headset for PC‑based calls. No drivers, no software, no external power – just connect and start using it with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and other softphones. It’s perfect for hot‑desking environments, remote workers, or anyone who wants to use their existing Jabra headset with a computer.

How It Works

Plug the USB‑A end of the cable into your computer. Plug the Quick Disconnect (QD) end into your Jabra headset (e.g., Biz 2300, Engage 50, Pro 940, etc.). The computer instantly recognizes the headset as a USB audio device. The cable carries both audio playback and microphone signals, so you can hear calls and speak clearly. The built‑in digital signal processor (DSP) ensures wideband audio quality and provides basic call control (answer/end, mute, volume) if supported by the headset’s inline controller. The cable is fully shielded to prevent interference. For other ways to connect your Jabra headset to a PC, explore our selection of corded headsets at FindHeadsets.

Why Choose This Product

If you already own a Jabra QD headset designed for desk phones, the Link 230 cable is the cheapest way to repurpose it for PC calls. You don't need a separate Jabra Link USB adapter or a full base station – just this cable. It’s ideal for hot desks: you can keep your headset and plug into any computer at any workstation. The plug‑and‑play nature means no IT support is needed. For businesses with a mix of desk phones and softphones, the Link 230 cable provides flexibility without buying new headsets. The audio quality is excellent for voice calls, and the simple construction means fewer points of failure.
