USB 3.0 cables register as USB 2.0

I have passive 6' and a 15' USB 3.0 extension cables that register as USB 2.0 in the Oculus Home devices page. 

Do I need "active" cables to extend my sensors?

You wouldn't happen to have a link to the ones you bought?

If the connection is 3.0 (As in cable and socket) then showing as 2.0 is a bit of a bug and reinserting the cable should resolve that. 

In terms of requirements a rule of thumb : 

Headset USB 2.0 or 3.0
Sensor 1 USB 3.0
Sensor 2 USB 3.0 (or 2.0 if you're struggling)
Sensor 3 USB 2.0 (though 3.0 is acceptable if you can achieve it)


USB should be good up to 3 metre passively, if your motherboard is able to handle the bandwidth.

Unfortunately it doesn't.
