Remote ports through optical cable?

[HappyCerberus]

I have a VR setup in my living room and a work setup in my work room (cca. 20 meters apart).

 

Right now, I always unplug my PC and carry it over, when I want to switch in between playing VR games and working & playing non-VR games.

 

Is there any solution (like a port extender / dock), that would allow me to connect the work room with the living room?

For latency reasons I already have a network cable going from the living room (this is where the internet connection for the flat terminates) to my work room so adding an extra cable is not really an issue.

 

Since the main usage is VR, latency is a concern.

Your best option is probably an optical thunderbolt cable and dock, although those tend to be incredibly expensive, on the order of about $500 for a 30m cable. Then leave the PC in the living room and connect things in the office to the dock, since that is less latency restricted. You could also try an active USB cable to a powered dock and an active display cable.

 

It also might be worth trying out a lower spec machine (laptop?) with remote desktop as your work environment.

I wish I could put my PC into the living room, but it's way to loud for that.

 

Got any links to tests of Thunderbolt docks?

I would  really like to know what kind of latency hit I would get with it.

After further exploration, it seems that Thunderbolt 3 over optical cables is not a thing.
