For my setup i need the minimum of 7.5m in length for 2xHDMI, DP, DVI connections. Because, i know DP is limited to 5M, i need some kind of “special/repeater” cable discussed already Here.
So i came up with this:
Cable to get from my PC to my monitors
To go from mini to normal for the GPU and hub.
The hub for connecting up to 3 i believe 4k60hz monitors which is enough for now. “EVGA has one for less and has better ratings”
After that i can put on adapters from DP to whatever i need.
Now the question is if it’s going to work? Anyone done something similar? Is there a better option? Please let me know.
Well i don’t see why it would not work. But also i doubt anyone here would have used those parts as in usd you are looking at around $300 in cables. And you might not want to sound like a ass when you respond to someone.
Didn’t Linus tech tips do something similar to this via lighting cables or something? He had the computer rack mounted in the closet and ran 1 wire out which carried Keyboard mice and video i think.
What resolution and frame rate are you trying to get? If your trying for 1080p or 1440p at 60hz I think it would work. If your trying for 4k probably going to have a tough time getting that.
That’s what i thought. It’s more for future investment if i decide for 4k monitors. Will have to look up some review if this works.
Right now 3440x1440 95hz a 1080p tv and a 1680x1050.
Yep he used the same corning cables but with the thunderbolt interface. Like i wrote i have to use my gpu. Have a usb hub already for everything else than video signal.
PS: The reason i included the optical is the repeater cables work but only for 1080p.
