So I want to buy an Oculus Rift S. The only problem is that my PC is 40ft away from the nearest area open enough for VR. Moving it is not an option, and I would prefer not to have ugly and pricy 40ft cables running all that way. Are there any wireless options?

 

Side note: I wont get the Oculus Quest

Not at the moment as far as I know. You can try your luck with (active) extension cables, but 40 ft is a long distance. Most likely the only option is to move the PC closer to the play area.

So I learned that the Oculus Rift S only needs one USB 3.0 cable and one DisplayPort cable, plus a built in 15 foot cable for both. So I just decided to just go with a cable, and just roll it out when I needed to use it. The question now is if the cables are able to run that far. After some research I found that the USB 3.0 cable should be fine, but the Displayport cable probably can't run that far. So what I came up with is to run an HDMI cable the long distance, then turn it back into a DisplayPort cable. Here is my list of cables I'll be using. Can someone confirm that this will work?
