don't know this cable, read the doc and saw
- 5Gbps seems fine for USB3 so rely on this
1 x USB 3.0 Type A Power Connector (required for devices drawing more than 2.5W)
Equipments should be compatible with AIA USB3 Vision (don't know the specs)

-----------------------------
Theory :
Long cable eats a bit current (by EM radiation, heat...), this is mainly square-root frequency dependant, diminishing amplitude especially at high frequency wave. Something like 0.4dB/meter @ 1Ghz for standard PVC coaxial cable, not much indeed, but for TV cable : signal amplificator are used.
No reason that this USB3 cable don't loose power along his length.

In electronic RS422/RS485° specs used current driven amps to stabilize signal strength (wave form)

Cable length brings also delay, but USB3 allow asynchronous transmission, higher rate may be limitated by the handshake (acknowlegde of frames) during exchange.
°old protocol...
As a last test :
- try to borrow a usb hub and plug the second connector (Power Connector) to get more current
- at first configure exchange speed (USB rate) at minimal, increase if it works.
That's all that comes in mind to help.
