USB-C/thunderbolt 3 hub?

[snerkler]

Can you buy a USB-C to USB-C hub as I’ve searched everywhere I can think of and they’re all multi hubs with mainly USB 3.0 ports?

My aim is to have one connected to my iMac so that I’ve got easier access to the ports as the way I’ve got it set up means it’s somewhat awkward to reach the ports on the back of the monitor.

How many ports would you need of the USB-C variety?

There are now Thunderbolt hubs like from OWC or Razer that offer 3 TB3 ports from one input TB3 port. TB3 ports also work as USB-C data ports as well as video output ports for monitors.

And there are older Thunderbolt docks that have at least 1 TB3 upstream port that can be used as USB-C as well, and also have USB-C data ports (data only, no video, but it does offer charging but not especially high power charging). I have a Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Pro dock at work and it offers 1 TB3 upstream plus 1 USB-C 10 Gbps data port.

Thanks, I can’t seem to find any in the UK but I’ll definitely look into OWC and razor, should be easier to find having a name to look for. Thanks.

I've looked into the OWC and Razor hubs but unfortunately much more expensive than I was wanting to pay, will probably just look into a USB-C extension cable instead.
