Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help with a project I'm thinking about doing. First, my router and modem are in my living room, which is where my TV is as well. I am routing a 50ft or 100ft (I don't know the exact length; I would have to search to find the order) ethernet CAT6 cable from the living room to my bedroom, with my PC in it. Technically, my PC is about 60ft away (I know the 50ft cable part doesn't match, but these are rough estimates), but at that time that was my only option. I am routing the ethernet cable under my crawl space, so I have lots of room to move cables. My goal with this project is to be able to play video games on my TV, so connecting the mouse, keyboard, controller, and audio is a must. I'm not trying to play multiplayer games but single-player and co-op games with my brother/family. Any entertainment I can also do would be great, like watching movies/TV shows. Any advice and tips would be very helpful and much appreciated. 

 

This is my current PC set up:

 

1. AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Raphael AM5 4.7GHz 12-Core Boxed Processor
2. ASUS B650E-F ROG STRIX GAMING WIFI AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard
3. G.Skill Flare X5 Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL30
4. DeepCool AK620 DIGITAL Performance CPU Air Cooler
5. be quiet PURE POWER 12 M 1000 Watt 80 Plus Gold
6. ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super TUF Gaming RGB Triple Fan 16GB GDDR6X
7. Samsung 990 Pro SSD 4TB M.2 NVMe
8. Samsung 980 Pro SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe
9. Fractal Design North Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case

100ft optical hdmi cable can be gotten for 200$.

 

Keep in mind they are directional so make sure you route em with the correct end 😛

 

As for usb try usb over ethernet but id do TWO ethernet runs for that as audio + many usb devices may be too much for one run. Those qre 60$ a kit and usb 2.0 speed.

What if I need to use usb-c for one of my peripherals? And thanks for the help, I was thinking about doing something similar but just wanted to seek out some advice. Would there be any lag/latency that can come into play with this setup?
