So,
Got the usb-c 2016 MacBook Pro 15" and can't seem to find a usb-c hub... Back the the old USB days you could easily get a external dongle or little hub that allowed you to plug in lots of usb devices and then it would plug into a single USB port on the PC...
Do these not exist for usb-c ?
I know your meant to be able to just connect one device to another device and so on so they are in a chain and then only use 1 usb-c port, but that's just not the case as so many devices don't have a port on them to continue connecting to..
So my 4 USBC ports are all full, and I need more...
1 - 4k Monitor, that is Display Port so I have a usb-c to display port .. thats one of the usb C ports gone and the 4k has no usb-c ports.
2 - Drobo 3D5.. It thunderbolt3 and it won't allow my USB-c to Display port to connect as the 2nd usb-c port is T3 only and won't work with usb C device
3 - A USBc to USB hub to plug in old USB devices, a third monitor via HDMI and an ethernet port . No USBc port to connect
4 - Got to plug in the power somewhere. I would have thought I could have plugged this into the Drobo but when I do, it seems to not provide enough power as the laptop slowly loosed battery charge until I run out.
So I also want/need to plug in an iPad / iPhone now and then, as well as some other usb-c devices and I can not do it as there are no more ports...
So the perfect solution is to get a single usb/t3 hub type device with lots of port and I can just plug all these devices into it and then have it connect to a single usb port on the laptop....
But it seems to be a device that just doesn't exist.....
