Perhaps the USB cable acts like an antenna.

That often happens. But it can also excite a Pin One in whatever it is connected to on either end.

For RFI transmitted via USB cable, try USB isolator. E.g.,

If you have more money than you need, perhaps. But all it takes is to wind multiple turns of the "USB antenna" through a #31 ferrite clamp-on. They cost a few bucks if you buy from industrial vendors like Arrow and hit their minimum order of $50 for anything in stock. Fill up that quantity with more ferrite cores -- most of us need them to kill noise from the dozens of sources in our own homes!
