He is looking for a setup where monitors and peripherals stay on the dining table while PCs remain in the basement. A permanent solution should let him connect devices easily and route outputs to the living room via cables that terminate at the technical room walls and a floor box beneath the table. Options being evaluated include DisplayPort/HDMI over fiber for video and an active USB extender with a splitter for power and data.

optical dp/hdmi and optical usb are the top choices. Consider a thunderbolt dock if needed. Linus set up something similar in his new home. Look through the new house playlist for the product details.
