Here is what i want. I want to move my big desktop into my networking closet.
My closet is 20 feet away from my desk (give or take)
All i need is a USB-C cable to reach a docking station on my desk (as seen in a LTT episode)
It is impossible to achieve such a distance with even 10g data transfer up to par, LET ALONE FIND A CABLE longer than 10ft.
My second option is an optical cable....except no one, to my knowledge, makes usb 3.1 gen 2 optical cables capeable of 10g transfer rates. HOWEVER, i recently watched a video on youtube of a very populer host (LTT) in which he accomplished such a task except by using a thunderbolt 2 optical cable (however thunderbolt 2 on PCs is extremely rare and hard to achieve)
Does anyone have any ideas? or is my idea dead in the water?
I even considered USB C/ DisplayPort/ Back to USB C... but that also seems a bit overdone.
I would really like to figure this out for enthusiest purposes, i know it doesnt make the most sense.
Thanks for input!!
