I did a group test on USB3 extenders here is what I found out :

I tested using an Asus z170 Deluxe motherboard it has both Intel and AsMedia USB3 ports. I also used the Oculus recommended Inatek 7 port USB 3 Card.

——Worked——

Cables in this category mean the sensor detected as USB3 in Oculus devices and didn’t lose connection and provided solid tracking testing with the headset on, no matter what brand of USB3 port it was connected to (Intel, AsMedia,Inatek).

(picture seems to be wrong on amazon website, also note this cable seems to be sold as various brands but I'm pretty sure its all the same cable, it should look like this

Only worked as USB 3 in one of the AsMedia ports and only when everything else was disconnected. Was USB2 or has an error in other AsMedia or Intel ports. Detected as USB3 in the Inatek Card and seemed ok testing in Oculus home loading area.

I would think so, I know /u/Cybereality (Oculus staff) listed various successful cable extenders [here] (https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/30513/yes-extension-cables-do-work-w-cv1/p1) I personally got active extenders [here] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPMFKSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or in the USA I think people were having success with [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-SuperSpeed-Female-Extension/dp/B00DMFB5OK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462293641&sr=8-1&keywords=active+extender+usb+3.0)

Warning about that USB 3 cable:

In /u/whitedragon101's test a little while ago it was detected as USB 2 on some ports.

yeah the length limit is 3-5m, but a repeater can be self powered and can go up to 10m, i.e - its still just an extension cable to the end user, for example..

plug and play.... so I still don't see how this is difficult or considered tweaking?

thanks for your reply! Mine are about 10 feet away from each other, at two different heights (one's base is about 2.5 feet off the ground, the other about 5 feet). I'll test it out a bit more when I get home from work. the extension does seem like the most likely source of problems. it's a 5m active cable, this one here.

I made the mistake of buying these (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPMFKSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) before finding this (https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/wiki/extension_cables) which suggests you get away with Amazon basic extensions (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NH12O5I)

Bracing for a double post here but...

...this cable works for me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00MPMFKSI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478499263&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=csl+usb3+extension

It's a 5m active. It's hooked up to my Inateck 4-port powered USB 3 pci-e card.

Note that when I first hooked up the cable weird things ensured with the detected camera position being wrong. I thought the cable was dud. However a reboot solved everything.

I bought 2 of these recommened in Heaneys Roomscale Guide.

You've got me worried now! I already have the 10m version of this cable and found that the cameras weren't detected connected to this extension when it was plugged into either of my intel USB3.0 ports. Luckily it worked connected to my Asmedia USB3.1 port. I hope these 5m versions work plugged into the Startech card!!

Yes, I'm planning on returning it now. Although I was thinking to get the cable that the wiki recommends, which is this one It seems to be slightly cheaper compared to your link and has a number of reviews to back it up a little. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I use this

I ordered this 5m USB cable:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPMFKSI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is the only cable connected to a USB 3 card on my PC. It's not totally reliable but it can work - I'll need to cycle the power on the headset a few times before it will connect properly, but once it's connected it seems reasonably reliable.

I'm using it with this 5m displayport cable which seems fine:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005CR1O1A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

"Much more difficult"... You know that USB extension cables exist... Right?

This 15ft one works perfectly with the rift sensor: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPMFKSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You actually can use longer passive extension cables. I'm using this 5m one. I'm sure not every cable will work, but this one worked for me

Coming on Wednesday. Currently using this one and thought I'd get it again. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MPMFKSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This cable worked for me https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D7NNJ61/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also have it plugged into a USB 3.0 extension with signal boost https://www.amazon.co.uk/CSL-Repeater-Extension-Amplification-Amplifier/dp/B00MPMFKSI/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=usb+extension+active+3.0&qid=1574500945&s=computers&sr=1-3 Not this specific one but similar.

I have ordered this active USB 3.0 extension, picking it up today.

According to this guy it works fine, and so do most of the USB 3.0 cables regardless of active/not active.

I bought mine for the 2nd sensor i got with the Touch controllers,the cable is from CSL and is 5 meter long or also 16 feet like the one you mentioned.
It's a usb 3.0 active repeater cable and is working like a charm.
Got it from here

So, these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/CSL-repeater-extension-amplification-amplifier/dp/B00MPMFKSI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499795238&sr=8-1&keywords=active%2Busb%2B3.0%2Bextension&th=1

with the original 2.5 would be ok then?

Edit: According to reviews on the cable, this is perfect.

2 Ordered!
