Compatible extension cables

[Russinating]

I was going to post in the Rift thread but I guess this also applies to Vive and with this subsection being so niche, a new thread can't do much harm!

If I'm looking to extend the headset and sensor cables, do I need to look out for anything special with regards to the HDMI and USB specs?

Thanks, that helps. Probably do want a bit longer than 2m else the extension pretty much ends at your feet! I'm tempted by a small hook in the ceiling to take the cable straight up as well but not sure that'll pass the OH's QC since the setup is in our lounge...

Lastly, I am buying a retractable cable management system that uses hooks on the ceiling. To be honest, it doesn't look that great in the pictures, I can't see it passing the wife test if you use it in the lounge. For me, the looks don't matter as long as it works

Yeah I saw you mention that, I think you inspired me. I don't think I was thinking of any kind of 'system' though, just a plain white hook to lead the cable upwards with some slack for movement.
