I could barely support 50-60ft at 1080p over physical hdmi for some noc video walls I built for a customer, 4k is likely going to be worse without an active component chip  to the extension cable.  Quality of the cable is a big part - to get length, I required the use of specifically 24ga wire in the cable, which was quite thick, but not a biggie as most was in walls.  I got this up to 75ft, but again only 1080p, not 4k...

My suggestion is look at 4k over lan repeaters ala HDBase-T.  They are out there, but pricey(er) for 4k - check monoprice.  I've used 1080p units like Just Add Power units for video walls, but requires some automation around it too for more than one.  Just a single display should be easy to extend over copper with some hdmi adapters at least.

I have tried three separate cables to connect my Radeon RX580 to a monitor and none of them work. I need to be able to connect from across my room and so I have purchased a 20 Foot Cable, a 25 Foot cable, and a 30 Foot cable with a repeater and none of them will keep a signal at 4K. However, I moved the 30 foot cable over to the displayport using an adapter and reduced to 1080p and it works.

Any one able to recommend a 4K friendly method for connecting my system at around 20ish feet?

Thanks,
Aaron
