This is the 10M / 32ft fiber optic HDMI cable I purchased:

And this is the USB hub I used:

I should also mention that I went with an HDMI cable instead of displayport because it is easy to convert from displayport to HDMI output if I need more HDMI ports, but not the other way around, and most monitors support HDMI.

I should also mention my current monitor is HDMI only so I needed HDMI anyway, and I have been considering upgrading my monitor to a larger one, in which case I'd put my older smaller one in the living room, which would require a second HDMI output from a card that only has one and three displayports... hence my mention of liking the ease of converting displayport to HDMI.

And here is the active USB cable I used:

Since it is a bit shorter than I needed, only 5M / 16ft) but it's what I already had (originally purchased for a third Oculus sensor), I bought a longer cable for the hub, which has one of those square USB jacks on it so you can replace the cable. I figured since the distance from the repeater on the active cable wouldn't be that far, it would still work, and it did.

And in case anyone's interested, I have the tracker dongles all running off a single USB C port with this hub, and they work fine:

Do be aware that the cable on that hub is attached to it, and it's very short, so I have the sensors on longer USB cables running up to a table away from the PC. It may be more ideal to use a different hub with a longer cable and just plug the sensors into it. But the sensors are a bit wide so you gotta take care to get a hub which they can fit side by side on.
