How can I get a optical signal with a HDMI extension cable?

Hello,
I have some issues getting an optical signal to my oculus rift cv1 using a HDMI-extension setup. 
I have this setup:

graphic board: 8GB MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G active PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail), 1xDVI, 1xHDMI 2.0, 3xDisplayPort

extension to Oculus:
HDMI PC output 
to 6m HDMI extension cable (https://smile.amazon.de/…/B0…/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00…
to HDMI coupling (https://smile.amazon.de/…/B0…/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00…
to HDMI repeater (https://smile.amazon.de/…/B0…/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00…
to the HDMI cable of the oculus rift.

This setup used to work for about 2 months, despite some problems when I had to reconnect the oculus rift to get an optical signal.
Two days ago I connected a third monitor to my PC and switched my main display. Since then the oculus rift doesn't get any optical signal anymore. Even when I disconnect the new monitor and use my old monitor as main display I don't get an optical signal. According to the oculus software the hmd is connected and the led ligths up white for just a second but then turns orange.
Fortunately the oculus rift is fine, I only have problems with the extension setup.

Has somebody any ideas how to fix this or rather advices for a extension setup?
Many thanks in advance.
(sorry for the wall of text and when there are some linguistic errors)
