Hi,
I’m looking to have my workstation in a different room of where I will work.
I was thinking to connect my workstation with a thunderbolt 10m cable until the next room where it will get connected with a docking station. On that docking station, I’ll connect monitor, keyboard and mouse.
I was thinking to go with
Elgato thunderbolt 3 dock 10DAA8501

What do think regarding this setup?
How would you connect your workstation to a different room, with a monitor/mouse/keyboard ?
 
Solution
Thunderbolts are not made equal, your "workstation" must specifically upport it. On top of that - I'm not sure 10m is reachable even with "active" TB cables.

Cheap mini-desktop used as RDP client will cost less than that dock, probably.
