These days, if you're just wiring to a single workstation in a nearby next room, 50 meter active optical Thunderbolt 3/4 cables can carry 5K+ DisplayPort video passthrough and data from your USB peripherals.

(It's "passthrough" and not "uncompressed" because DisplayPort may use DSC depending on the resolution and frame rate.)

US$500 for an optical cable can be a lot cheaper than paying for HDMI extender sender and receiver boxes.
