USB-C Hub?

Hello there

 

I am looking for a USB-C active hub and have trouble finding any. My use case: i have a single USB-C port on the back of my motherboard (no clue which gen anymore due to the idiotic naming schemes of USB, but it's a newer one) and I'd like to connect an active USB hub to that which would make access easier and allow more than one t5 ssd to be connected. My problem is that I can't seem to find any. What I am looking for is pretty much this:

 

USB hubs - buy at digitec

 

but instead of all connectors being USB type A, I'd need them to be type C, as well as the input connection to be type C as well. Hope this is clear :S 

 

Do hubs like that even exist?

 

Thanks a bunch in advance.

All USB-C ports are a minimum of USB 3.1, and have been available since Sky Lake desktops (2016.)

 

A USB-C hub with more USB-C ports is probably not going to be a thing for a while, as nobody has designed one.

Most of what you'll find with multiple USB-C ports are docking stations of some sort. I have a CFORCE001 which I use with my Switch and other products and it has 2 addl USB-C ports

The only USB C to hub experience I Have (that has a USB C out at the hub) is a docking station.  

 

This is the one I have - and if it wasn't for this machine makes me money I wouldn't have gotten this one - its expensive

However requires two USB C to operate, likely because it has the USB C passthrough at the hub and is now the passthrough for power as well.  It also has a USB C to displayport out - however Im not sure if that means it is only allowed for display, haven't used it yet.
