I want to buy a pure usb 3.1 typec hub but I can't find it in a certain treasure. Is it because there is no such thing as a usb typec hub in this world?

The requirement is very simple, that is, one usb 3.1 typec interface is converted into N usb 3.1 typec interfaces, in order to extend my old imac with only two typec interfaces, but I searched for several pages in a certain treasure and Dongdong but couldn't find it. They are all typec to type a. Does such a thing as a usb typec hub doesn't exist?

Anonymous5124 Sep 4, 2021Because there is little demand, you can find Thunderbolt to transfer it out, Thunderbolt 4 can also transfer Thunderbolt 3

Poster Sep 4, 2021@ Anonymous4833 Can't they share this 10G hub doesn't mean sharing bandwidth? Refer to USB2.0 hub

Poster Sep 4, 2021@ Anonymous114 This feels pretty good and the price is right. Although it says TB4 on it, it also says Apple M1 Mac or iPad, any Apple Intel-based Mac with Thunderbolt 3, or any Thunderbolt 4 PC. Then my old Intel mac TB3 is also compatible. How do you feel after using it? Is there anything unstable? I was scared by the quality of the domestic Green Alliance

Anonymous5125 Sep 4, 2021I have had this problem for a long time, but I just can't find a hub with C to multi-C ports, even USB 3.0 5Gbps. https://www.zhihu.com/question/36350042 Someone asked questions in Zhihu in 2015. Six years have passed and no product has come out.

Anonymous114 Sep 4, 2021@ Poster I didn't buy it. I just saw this product. At present, I don't have much demand for expansion. Because I found that the main function is charging, it is also possible to buy a multi-port USB charger.

Poster Sep 4, 2021@ Anonymous5125 Haha Queshi, I think HUB is to share bandwidth. 10G can be shared by several ports. Isn't this what USB2.0 is like? An answer in the original post mentioned a belkin, but there are only 2 C ports, which is equivalent to one more. I don't know if this thing can be cascaded. If 3 are cascaded, it is equivalent to 3 more C's. 150 knives, although the cost is a bit higher, it is still a solution.

Anonymous5126 Sep 4, 2021It is more difficult to use usb3.1, because the manufacturers of serious and usable products will at least consider whether the downlink interface can be shared. Your requirement for multiple usb3.1 to share one usb3.1 obviously cannot be realized; There is no problem with Thunderbolt 3, but the price is 1k up, and few people will spend one or two thousand yuan to buy a docking station that only converts typec to typec. A typec that converts Thunderbolt 3 to usb3.1 is better than just leave 1-2 and then give the remaining bandwidth to other interfaces, so there is no market for your needs and it is difficult to achieve them.

Poster Sep 4, 2021@ Anonymous5126 Yes, my question is here. Why can't typec usb3.1 implement hub? There are a large number of products worth more than 100 yuan that can convert type-c usb to multiple type A usb3.0. Why can't it be? What about typec's 1 to N?
-
Poster Sep 4, 2021@ Anonymous5126 My understanding is that TypeA's usb3.0 is 5G. For example, I have a Green Link that can convert 3 usb3.0 typeA's, so it must also be a HUB with shared bandwidth, right?

Anonymous5126 Sep 4, 2021@ Poster The main reason is that there is no usb chip that can really do this operation https://superuser.com/questions/1381139/why-cant-i-find-a-usb-c-hub-with-multiple-usb-c-ports If you want to delve into this thing, it is impossible to fully understand it in a few days, because all kinds of problems are mixed together to form the present situation There are many other things to say, such as the Green Alliance thing that almost burned my motherboard, the gap between low-priced docking stations and high-priced docking stations, and so on. Anyway, all in all, my suggestion is that the non-Thunderbolt docking station is too weak, and the price of the third-party Thunderbolt docking station is 1k higher and it will still encounter problems more or less. If you want a perfect experience, you can only choose it on Apple's official website. Although it is a bit expensive, it is absolutely worth it. It takes unimaginable time and energy for you to choose the right unofficially designated thing, and in the end, you are likely to find that Apple has secretly buried a hole for you, making all your previous efforts wasted. There are a lot of such examples in search engines.
