Extending Oculus Rift S across house

I've just ordered a Rift S. My gaming room isn't the biggest, it's big enough for most VR games but not for when you have people round who all want to try it.

 

I wanted to see if I could get a Display Port and USB 3 cables long enough (at a reasonable price) to go from upstairs to downstairs in my house (normal British 2 up 2 down to give an idea of the size).

 

If anyone knows of anywhere in the UK I can get this then can you let me know. Obviously the alternative if just moving the PC downstairs which I have no issues doing it just not ideal, want to reduce the risk of it being dropped down the stairs.

you likely will run into signal loss issues from the length of run. Your best option would be to just bring the PC into the space you intend to play it in.

Hmm yeah just looked and it says anything over 5 meters. Seems a bit mad considering HDMI can run for huge distances.
