Could you maybe give a more detailed description of how this is setup and all of the cables involved so others can set it up the same way. How did you extend the USB cable as what you've listed only seems to do HDMI. What type of ethernet cable did you use on this extender?

I'm really wanting to extend mine by around 15m so really interested in how you've done this.

Like getting blood from a stone here

Which USB cable? What type of Ethernet cable did you use?

Wanting to make sure (and I'm sure others are too) that I get the correct cables you did which you've verified works already.

Ibra cat7 30m Ethernet
TRIXES 20m USB

Make sure you have a few decent short HDMI cables as it didn't work until I swapped the first pair out

Many thanks!

Just seen the price of the extender, yikes. Might hold off for a while till it drops or someone brings out a cheaper version which works.

I have a hdmi cable that works with the Vive, it was much cheaper than those cat5 extenders

I'll dig out the details later

nightrider1470 · 6 Feb 2017 at 11:20

Bet it's 15m max though^

15m is fine with me

Hoping it is.

I think my setup is locked at 60hz... I will test tomorrow but not noticed any lag so happy with it if so

I was looking at that one but the comment on that Reddit page suggests the 15m doesn't work.

I have it and it definitely does work with my 980ti.

I had a 1080 turn up and it wouldn't work with that (red light on the headset), I then tried a 2m cable (which also works with my 980ti) and had green dots everywhere, so came to the conclusion that it was the GPU/port that was faulty and switched back to my 980ti.
