Well I need it like I guess about 4.5 meter length of 3.5mm cable, but I just can't seem to find one that is that long on places like Amazon. Most are like only 6 feet at the most. Do they not exist in longer cable versions or I'm just missing it? Preferably if you can recommend me a OFC cable of 4.5 meters. Maybe 5 meters if possible.

If you can use a soldering iron then just make one.

I'm guessing you need an extension cable? 3.5mm female on one end and male on the other?

Here's one that's just over 4.5m

No both sides needs to be male.
 
I'm routing a speaker to the other room and that speaker only has a 3.5mm input.

Here's a 30ft one (also in the options is 2x 15 ft for $1 more):

Also depends on the application. Is going through the wall an option? Could get a shorter cord that way. Could make one pretty easily too.

Can't go through the wall although it's going through this indoor pipe like thing that normally hides the wires. It's actually a pain to get anything through it and a pain to take anything out of it so I need a decently high quality one and hope it doesn't break. Well one end will go into the restroom....... and don't want that end to be all rusted up.

Indoor pipe thing?  So, you're running audio cabling through conduit?  Most likely you have power wiring in there and this would be a code violation.  If you don't know what you're doing you can fray the cable in the conduit bends.  You can also get it tangled with the power wiring and start a fire.
 
I guess everyone starts going a little crazy around New Year.

I just can't explain the correct name for it. The only thing running up in there is the CAT7 network cables. It's there to avoid the house looking like blue spider web. And moving from Cat 5e to Cat7 caused issues that I never wanted. Because it's like stickyed on the wall and removing a section will strip the paint.

OK - so that's not so bad.  Still, you need to know how to terminate simple cables and connectors.  That will make your problem go away in a flash.
 
Or, one thing you need to consider when making renovations - whatever it is - be prepared to knock everything out, if you have to.  Including ripping down some cable covers and stripped paint.
