Yes, I have seen these Active Extension Cables, and I suspect that is what I need to do.
However, here is something that I cannot explain. I have been trying all this on my Dell Precision M6600 with2x USB2 and 2x USB3 ports. I purchased what I thought was a good Belkin Powered USB2 Hub. I tried my other options with the same laptop (Generic Powered Hub and the USB Over Gigabit) and none worked.
I then got an old Panasonic Toughbook with 4x USB2 ports. The Generic Hub worked first go. Then I tried the Belkin Hub and it works.
Back to the Dell laptop - no go. Looks like it is an issue with the Dell. Bugger.
But I intend to get one of the Active cables and give that a run.
