The Anchor cable that Oculus has linked to is 3m (10 ft), not 2m (6 ft).

Oculus is recommending the Anchor cable for use with the Quest until the link cable is released. The cable is only 6 feet. Has anyone tried to connect them to make a longer cable..Does it work?

The active usb extension cable that came with my extra cv1 sensor is usb 2.0, not 3.0.

3m/10' is about the limit for a passive cable. You need active cables to go longer than that; I used my 5m/16' active extension cable from my CV1 sensor along with a 1m/3' A to C Anker cable, and that worked fine.

No, I just double checked the one that I bought from the Oculus Store with an extra sensor. It is Active usb 2.0.

No, the USB 3.0 active extension cable that I bought to use with my sensors. The cable that comes with the extra sensor is passive, as well as USB 2.0.

I'm not so sure on the 3M limit...the Rift-S uses a 5M cable, and the Rift CV1 is 4M, and both are passive. I think 5M is about as far as you can take it though.

I’m pretty sure the CV1 cable has a chip to boost the signal in the “special connector” end I extend my CV1 with an extra 2m of passive cable, which would be a pretty long passive cable length.
