Whats the official verdict on this…Has anyone found a 25 foot or greater DisplayPort Extension that works?
I’m assuming even the 15 foot trip light mentioned above didnt work out? edit: one reviewer on amazon said it did in fact work? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y45L3X3
Its a shame we cant utilize some sort of hdmi to dp converter (i already have an hdmi 25 footer that worked for the rift in place).
And for that matter, what is the best way to make the usb extension in the neighborhood of 25 foot work? Is it to just add a (usb 3.0?) hub at the end of say one of the 32 footers like this one (which already has power)?
like Robertsmania said, i also didnt get the Setup you mentioned to work. As long the passive Coupler is in it doesnt found anything (10500) . After changing to a active Coupler everything works with 10 m. Maye the GC Port is a factor in this setup.
Big THX Hammerschädel, just ordered one for 34€ as amz WHD
An active extender and keep using my existing DP 1.4 cables seemed the better option than to invest in an high end cable
So the DeLock 11464 active DP extender arrived today…
To keep it short: It doesn’t do any magic
It works with my cheap <10EUR 5m 1.4 DP cable from ebay but only up to 72 Hz +large FOV
→ with 90Hz no connection was possible anymore no matter of FOV setting.
With a 2m 1.2 DP cable everything worked like when the HMD is plugged in directly. I guess up to 3m the active extender could work pretty well with “non-premium” cables.
To summarize the active extender I would call it a great DP to DP Coupler you still need good cables for >3m but then it works while my passive coupler did not work at all with Pimax!
I’m not quite sure if i will just order an additional 5m cable of better quality now or send it back and go for the recommended Delock 83812 extension cable.
The DeLock 11464 active DP extender is basically the only thing that will let me couple two DP cables for the Pimax, no matter the length. It does couple with a number of long cables though, including this one:
I’m still going through trials of optical cables, and this one does NOT work (even with the active repeater):
Will try the Premium one posted sometime back next…
Many options work for USB as people have posted before, including the “noname” optical USB 3.0 extension from eBay and other places. On Amazon, they are branded “FIBBR”, but they’re the same as the others that cost less and look identical, as far as I can tell (I got an equivalent one from eBay that works):
Also tried this one with the Delock repeater, and it did NOT work either.
EDIT: Correction, it DOES work. I had it on backwards ><
So far I haven’t managed to get any of the 10m optical DP cables to work, even with active regeneration. Others in this thread and elsewhere seem to say that it should. Will continue experimenting…
BTW, I see Amazon has switched the DP optical cable products around so my link doesn’t point to the same cable anymore. For future reference, I was attempting the 10m (~32 foot) ones (unsuccessfully, so far). Passive 6 foot male/female non-optical cables work, as does the Cable Matters 15 foot male/male one when used with the DeLock repeater.
I think I did pay attention to the direction, but now that I think about it I only recall doing it for the ATZEBE. Still got the Premium Cord one, so I’ll try it again and report back.
