I tried this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00FQLNLTU it is labeled as "activ" but as i said, it didn´t work. I think a better shot is a cable like this one: https://www.amazon.de/StarTech-com-aktives-USB-2-0-Verlängerungskabel/dp/B00K7YI7W2 where you can connect a dedicated power adapter.
​
EDIT: I just saw in the description of the first cable, that there IS a port for a 5V power adapter :-D.... ok, i will try this!
