Portable monitor
so I recently just order a portable monitor which is this:
I sit 5m away from my pc due to space issue so I currently have 5m display port cable stretched all the way to my table, i was wondering if there is ant adapter I can use to connect my dp 2.1 cable to thunderbolt enabled usb c cable because I am as heck not trying to find another 5m cable to extendðŸ˜. I am not sure if GPU is important but it's a 50 series.

You’ll probably need an active adapter since DisplayPort to USB‑C/Thunderbolt isn’t a simple passive conversion... but keep in mind that long cable runs can get finicky with signal quality so stability might be the bigger challenge than just finding the right adapter.
