So I just bought a Samsung Odyssey Plus and love it.... Ive already got an Accell HDMI and USB 3.0 to USB C hooked up to my computer so its easier to access the inputs required, no issues at all.

Question I have is how far can I extend the HDMI and USB 3.0 cables from that connector? I would love to go about 30 feet into another room with the VR headset so my sim racing rig could benefit from using the VR without having to dissemble and resemble the thing every time I use it (which is like every day ha).

Would that distance not be possible? Any suggestions/thoughts? I get good feedback from this site always, thought Id give it a shot.

HDMI: Depends on the quality of HDMI cable, generator signal, and the signaling rate...
so should the usb be an active extension cable then? and the HDMI cable is actually pretty easy to find (im just searching amazon, have no idea).... just needs to do 90 hz at 1440 which im not finding but im seeing a lot of 4k at 120 hz so im sure thatll fly?

HDMI: Depends on the quality of HDMI cable, generator signal, and the signaling rate. 4K HDMI 2.0b can go up to 12Gbps/Channel. With higher bitrates, distances get shorter. But I find 10 feet isn't uncommon as the limit for most common cables.

USB 3.0 has a recommended length of up to 3 meters. (Roughly 10 feet)
