MBP USB-C hub randomly disconnects

I have a MBP, 14-inch, M5 running Tahoe 26.5.1. I have an external USBC hub connecting a second display and a mouse. It randomly disconnects and I have to unplug it and plug it back in again. Sometimes it works for minutes, sometimes for hours. I use the same setup with other Macbooks with no issue. I've tried all the ports and the issue remains.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.5

And what exactly is this un-named mystery USBC hub...? you do not say.
