Devices connected via the powered hub to the mac are detected. connecting the hub with the active cable does not work. (Neither mac->short cable->hub->5m cable->device nor the connection mac->5m cable->hub->short cable->device)I just ordered some non-active USB cables (1,8m, 3m, 5m) on ebay. They are only about 2 EUR, so I can experiment what works and what does not.Concerning the 5m "over-the-limit" issue: All manufacturers of active 5m cables claim that they should work. This is true for Win as I tested earlier. They work well on any Windows PC/Laptop. Just the mac ignores the devices connected with an active 5m cable.</blockquote>
