An active USB hub is a USB hub which has its own power supply. It will come with a DC power adaptor to power it. The USB system in your computer is capable of providing electrical power to devices which are plugged into it. When a large number of devices, or some particularly power-hungry devices are plugged into the USB system, it is possible to overexert this system. An active USB hub shores up this this power reducing the likelyhood of problems. A passive USB hub does not. Additionally, USB devices will often not work properly with more than 12 feet of cable. An active USB hub (or active USB extension cable) can help to overcome this limitation.
