usb Powered USB hub

[SirSentry]

Hey all. I need to get myself a powered USB hub. It does not jeed data. I am looking for one that just plugs into the wall and not the computer for charging pc accessories. I need roughly 5 of each usb A and usb C. 
 

also not looking to spend more than like 80 CAD. Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm happy with this, Type A only. High quality.

I have three of these Anker Charging Stations, they are A only though. 

 

I've since replaced them with some Anker GAN versions which have A and C ports, but only 2 of each.

 

I would keep in mind that you can also just use a regular powered USB hub as well if you find one that has the ports you like. I did this for many years, as I prefer slow charging my devices. I still do this at times I just leave the hubs on to charge things.

I would recommend this. Sabrent is a reliable brand.

You don't necessarily want to use a USB-C port to charge a USB-C device.

I've encountered several USB-C devices that refuse to charge because the device-maker was too cheap to build to the device with the necessary $0.01 components (resistors?) to enable proper USB negotiation. The workaround is that USB-A to USB-C cables bypass the negotiation and force the power through.

 

It's definitely a pain in the ass when a fancy $100 Anker USB charger can't charge a damn $5 USB light because there's no negotiation occurring -_-

A pack of USB-C to USA-A adapters is really cheap. Same with getting C to A cables.
