Jesus Christ. $25 for that? You can get a similar one on Amazon for under $10.

Of course, if you plan to use USB 3.0 portable hard drive or charging your phone.

Hmm... Not sure about USB-C though. I haven't come across a USB-C dongle that requires additional power.

I see. Most of the dongles I spotted are quite small, so mounting them will be... just slapping a good double sided tape and slap it under your table and you are good to go. So mounting should not be an issue.

I apologies if my comments or post offends you in any way, or if my rage got a little too far. I'll try my best to make my post as non-offensive as much as possible.

The one I am using it right now is the one I linked. Its USB 3 to USB 3 data hub extensions. The cable is not very long to hook it up from the back of your computer to the your front desk. It is 2 inch cable. Also, it is a regular cable not braided cable. The USB ports are close to each others so if you have a device that has a fat USB port than it might interfere the USB port close to it. Transfer speed is very good too.

 

Something like this might fit you? It has 47 inch long cable and 3 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0.
