My PC is located in a different room.
You're looking to move your PC to a cooler space while keeping your monitor and peripherals nearby. Instead of repeaters or long cables, you're considering running it over Ethernet. Your setup idea uses a USB-C to Ethernet adapter, then connects to a Cat-6 cable, followed by an Ethernet-to-USB-C hub. This approach can work if the distance is short enough and the hub supports the necessary ports.
It might work, but it will add more complexity. You can send different kinds of signals over Ethernet, even HDMI. Whether you achieve the desired performance depends on other factors. You can't just plug a USB-C to Ethernet adapter for anything except networking purposes. The device inside those adapters is network interface cards, not USB or HDMI controllers. You’ll need a tailored solution. At our workplace, we use HDMI-to-Ethernet converters for TVs because Ethernet is more cost-effective. I wouldn’t suggest gaming on this setup due to latency issues. It would be simpler if you moved the PC just a short distance—ideally within a few feet. Alternatively, relocate it further away or into a different room. Then you could use longer standard cables.
