Do I need a high bandwidth USB cable back to my PC to run lots of SteamVR dongles?

Nope!

Even a 2.0 USB hub, with a single 2.0 USB cable back to your PC would have enough bandwidth for 40 SteamVR dongles.

A single high speed USB 2.0 port (480 Mbps) has enough bandwidth to support 40 full-speed (12 Mbps) SteamVR trackers simultaneously!
