REQ: USB-C Hub which includes charging and DVI 4k Video @ 60hz

[Graham Carter]

Recently purchased a Samsung 4k monitor with DisplayPort input for use with Macbook Pro... then purchased a USB C to DisplayPort Cable (4K@60Hz) which works beautifully.

However, if I want to charge the MBP at the same time, have to use another usb-c port which looks messy!

 

The reason for this post, is am struggling to track down a HUB which, as the title, provides...

• USB C input / output

• USB C power input

• USB C Video output to 4k@60hz

So in essence, would plug the hub into a single port on the MacBook, then plug in the MBP pro's charger into one of its USB-C inputs to provide charging and then plug in a USB C to DisplayPort cable, connecting the hub to the monitor, again to guarantee 4k at 60hz

 

Make sense? Anyone have this setup? If not, provide any links to such a hub?

I found something cheaper

TB3 tends to be a lot more expensive, as it often requires several bridge chips.

(TB3 -> PCIe 4x -> bifurcation into something like 8 lanes -> ports)

USB does not require chips to bifurcate, and thus is cheaper. However it does have less bandwidth

Found this, which fits the bill for DVI / 4K / 60HZ
