Does any one know of a 80 port usb hub?

[Guest]

im looking to do something with an old teacher of mine and try make a 80 port USB hub (atleast USB 2.0 with data transfer)

You could plug a 20 port hub into a 20 port hub into.....

 

Seriously though:

get a TB dock with at least 4 usb 3.1 gen 2 ports = 10 GBit/port

plug a 10 port usb 3.1 hub into each = 1 GBit/port

split each usb 3 port's outputs = 500mBit/usb port (in theory)

 

Would be costly but i don't think there's a controller that can handle 80 simultaneous usb instances, so this is the only way I can think of, as an inexperienced techie

what the hell do you want to do? Just having 80 ports or using 80 ports at the same time? even without overhead 80 usb 2.0 ports will be over 1.5 GB/s this more then even 10 Gb/s usb 3.1 gen 2 can handle.

well My old tech teacher and I are planning on making a system where basically the students would have to go to a wall to plug in USB devices (the reason being the kids in the class either break the ports on the towers or manage to put some s##t in them) but it would be 2 USB ports per student since there are about 40 computers in the room and we all know that not all kids don't have USB drives. but we dont really care about the speeds (unless its like slow af like 250kb per sec)
