Cables come in a variety of lengths, you know. If everything is
within six feet, there's no reason not to buy cables in their
standard sizes of 1, 3, 6, 7, and 10 feet as necessary.
They're cheap.
They're very secure, especially compared to anything
broadcasting in radio land.

However, you have a history of trying to avoid the good
decisions that people steer you towards, so I encourage you to
give Bluetooth a miss entirely and go for an infrared LAN with
a ceiling reflector.
