Thaks for the diagram :) Seeing as I lack the equipment and skills to do optical fibre welding this idea is dead in water anyway. Guess I will just run multiple Ethernet lines and do USB and HDMI over them.

Yep, that is where I got the initial idea from. Just the distances are a bit larger for me.

Hi. I tried searching the web and came up with nothing. So I am turning to the LTT community for help. Has anyone here tried or can explain if it is even possible to take a Thunderbolt Optical cable and extend it with a standard optical cable? I was thinking of moving my PC to the basement with the rest of the server and network hardware and just run a thunderbolt cable from there but I would need to get the longest one (60 meters), like this but the price seems quite prohibitive to me. Yet if I look for generic fiberoptic cable i can see that 60$ would get me 60 meters worth. I don't think that this certain example has a high enough capacity but from Alibaba I can apparently get a full kilometer of 24 core fiberoptic cable for less than half of what the Corning Thunderbolt cable costs. Hence my hope that I can buy the cheapest Corning Thunderbolt cable, some regular fibreoptic cable and use it to extend the Thunderbolt cable. Can this be done? Has anyone done this? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Old and beat up Razer headset, razer deathadder mouse, razer mousepad and a steelseries apex keyboard. (Sheesh, from this it seems like I am a Razer fanboy but all the Razer gear I acquired randomly from winning LAN parties or they came with a PC I bought.)

I am currently running on a Radeon HD 7750 and even though it runs most of the games I want well it has recently started doing weird stuff like crashing every time I play FlatOut 2. So yeah, need an upgrade and the new Polaris cards look like a good option, really hoping for a lot from Vulkan with the AMD cards.
