I have my PC in my room because my house is quite small, however i spend most of my time in my living room as i'm a disability pensioner and walking these days isn't easy. I got a friend of mine to put a high-speed 10 meter HDMI cable from my PC up to a small hole in my room's ceiling, it then travels across the inside of my ceiling cavity and then comes down through a small hole in the ceiling in my living room and plugs into a 4K monitor i have on a small desk which i sit infront of and it always works perfect.
As for how i work a mouse and keyboard and any other external devices... my friend also did exactly the same with a 10 meter usb 3.0 powered extension cable which i then have connected to a usb 2.0 hub at the desk here which i have a keyboard, mouse and headphones plugged into and 99% of the time that works perfect too... just every once in a while (definitely not alot at all but still enough to be annoying) the signal drops out on the hub and i have to un-plug my stuff and then re-plug them.
I am not tech savvy by any means so that's why i'm asking here... i read somewhere that powered usb 3.0 extension cables connected to usb 2.0 hubs shouldn't be longer than 5 meters... so would it work better if i had 2 x 5 meter usb 3.0 extension cables connected together and both plugged into power sockets than just having one long 10 meter powered cable?
