It won't damage the unit, active USB cable are used for the purpose of extending USB cable limitation. No worries. :-)

You do need to make sure to select a USB 2.0 High Speed extender. Some of these extender aren't USB high speed = won't be able to discover the unit. i.e. don't grab the cheapest cable you see on the market. Read the specs first. :-)
