You can send USB C and/or Thunderbolt over fiber. It's rather expensive as of now, but it's possible. Example 50m cable: https://www.rockshop.de/corning-thunde

  Or, you know, buy a $10 dongle.

    That's actually really cool if you wanted to send input over the same connection. Like, if the thing that's remote is the computer, not the monitor or projector. Put your noisy graphics workstation in the utility room or something, run Thunderbolt & USB3 over fiber to your desk on another floor, but still feel like it's local, not like RDP or VNC. Way too expensive for that, but if the price drops a bunch on that tech, that'd become an option.

It's not super practical yet, but if you can afford a 1500$ GPU, you can also add that :) Plus, you'll need to worry about cooling, noise and optics a lot less, which, on a high end build, might already be enough saving to make it worthwhile.
