@shim2: They might. HDMI 2.0 should be fine, though the extra length may or may not be an issue. I purchased that same active USB 3.0 cable, but I haven't tried it yet. I think I might also have a 15 foot HDMI cable. If I get a chance later this week I can check.

Any idea if USB 3.0 hubs will work (reliably, without added latency, etc)?

I e-mailed oculus about this a few weeks ago and here is what they saidHello Jim,
Thank you for contacting Oculus Support.
Although Oculus has not released any information in regards to using extension cables, in general, using an extension cable can cause a slow down in data and may be noticeable.
For the best possible experience, we would recommend not using extension cables on any of our products.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Even though Rift uses HDMI 1.3, it's probably safer to get the 1.4 (4K/3D compatible) cables.
The extension cables were 10 feet each. The headset cable is supposed to be 4 meters (I didn't measure, but sounds right), so total length of the main cable is probably around 22 feet after extension. I'm not actually sure how long the sensor cable is. It may be slightly shorter but enough to place anywhere on an average desk without extension.
Yes, I do recall there being some problems with extension cables and DK2, but I'll keep testing on the setup and report back if there are any issues.
I'm not sure if hubs would work, as they may be bandwidth limited.
I bought HDMI 2.0 cables. Should those work?
Specifically this one

As well as this active usb 3.0
