6ft

And I like to use the usb-c port on my laptop. It's closer to the HDMI and seems like a stronger port when using the usb extension.

I can confirm that the AmazonBasics USB 3.0 6ft and HDMI 2.0 6ft extension cables work perfectly with my Acer headset and laptop.

Powered extensions can, Passive ones usually don't.

This limits how far you can extend it (usually max 6-10ft depending on your HMD & GPU).

I use these with no notable issues with my Dell Visor: 6ft. USB Ext. 6ft. HDMI Ext.

Buy one of these

This is the extension cables I use

​

Lastly, if you still have issues with 90hz even after buying the HDMI adapter then its probably also a power issue and you will need one of these

If it helps you at all, I ordered a 6' AmazonBasics HDMI extension and a 6' AmazonBasics USB 3 extension and tried them last night and they work absolutely fine. I can literally walk anywhere in my room now and I didn't even have to move my PC :)

I also really like how these should now act as a quick release so if my kids were to pull on the cables too far or something, it should come apart there instead of pulling on my PC. Here are the links to the ones I ordered...

I'm using AmazonBasics HDMI extension cable (the 15ft one) and it's working good. No problems so far. Maybe you can give it a try: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D5H90L4/ref=twister_B01MG4DIDO?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

Those would be a hell of a lot cheaper and you can order them immediately.

In my paranoia, I bought 6ft and 10ft versions of both, as it depends on your motherboard, BIOS settings, PSU, etc. 6ft is a standard I would expect most setups to work with. Here are the recommended products that I've seen posted around:


USB



HDMI

From reading up on other posts, It looks like the amazon basics 6' USB extension cable works best. some have had luck with 10' cables, but some report issues. If you want to go further, you need to get an active connector which are much more expensive. Also, USB needs to be 3.0 and SuperSpeed. The thicker the better for shielding IMHO. The HDMI extension just needs to be rated HDMI 2.0 or higher. I don't think it's as big of a pain as the USB

Here's what I got, arrives Thursday

These are the cables I used:

USB 3.0 6ft

Hdmi 2.0 6ft

You can get HDMI and USB 3.0 cable extensions that review well to work with WMR headsets, unless it's the overall weight you're worried about, in which case some hang it from the ceiling in retractable pulley system.

Get something like this and move it from behind the tv.

This might improve the received signal.

It comes with a HDMI and USB 3.0 permanently connected to it. If you're wanting extenders, I bought these off Amazon

And I use this Bluetooth adapter Microsoft reccomends

Plugable USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter (Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Raspberry Pi, Linux Compatible; Classic Bluetooth, and Stereo Headset Compatible) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ZIILLI?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Keep in mind you'll also need a USB 3.0 port. They're colored blue. The HMD also plugs into this, in addition to the HDMI.
