I'm still trying to solve an awkward office layout and keep control of
wiring. I want to keep my main server in the closet but have the
monitor,
keyboard, and mouse (and speakers if possible) accessed via another
cat-5
outlet across the room.
Looking for the correct device is difficult for me because of
terminology.
On
my desk I need to connect:
+ one HDMI cable for my monitor
+ at least three USB devices (keyboard, mouse, thumb drive)
+ one external speaker (or headphone)
+ power
+ cat 5e I/O to the wall female socket
In the closet with my single server I need the same in order to close
the
closet entrance with no connections interfering.
The max distance between the two Cat-5e outlets is no more than 25 ft.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

If it's X applications on the server you can "ssh -X myserver" but is
slow.
If it's just files I like sshfs. Can mount a remote directory on
directory on local PC.
