Way to send thunderbolt 3 signals 50ft+ without paying 800$

Didn't know if this would qualify as network (but didn't think so).

 

As the title implies, I am looking for a way to get thunderbolt 3 to the other side of my house without paying 800$ for a optical thunderbolt 3 cable.

What do you need thunrderbolt 3 for? The only semi-solution would be via ethernet, but obviously that's not quite the same.

The idea would be a little like Linus' personal rig, only throughout the home

I agree with this comment, there is a video on linus's home setup with having the computer in a closet and having everything else ran through Thunderbolt to a room next door..

But that's way closer, about 5m-ish (unqualified assumption)
