Where to find a USB-C to USB-C hub

Hey all,

So Hub+ was cancelled today.

SO... I have what I need in a way. I have a USB-C to Displayport cable.

I also have a USB-C to USB 3.0, ethernet, and SD-card hub.

I need a USB-C to USB-C hub with 4 ports.

I would like to plug:

the computer into the hub

power into the hub

the usb-c to displayport into the hub

and the USB-C to USB 3.0 and sd card into the hub.

I have looked all over, and searched like a mad man, but I can't seem to find a USB-C to other USB-C ports.

Any help?

Thanks,
Geoff

Extotherule I heard of many issues with the OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock. Such as after waking the laptop from sleep the Dock doesn't wake up and neither do the hard drives or displays connected to the dock.

Do you know anything about this?

Please let me know.

Hydradock seems like the only option currently, they are only taking preorders at the moment.

It was a disappointment from Nonda and the team regards to usb+, If they can't do it I think that Hydradock can't do it. You said that you had " I have a USB-C to Displayport cable" how did you get that?

I have the problem to connect my cinema screen with mini display to my new macbook 12" and if possible to connect to the mag at the same time.

I actually got mine from Monoprice. it wasn't cheap but, $37.49 did get the job done, and it is working perfectly.

Looks like Hydradock and OWC have the 2 best options.

OWC's looks much better to me. The back as the ports, and the front has the SD and 1 USB port, and an audio out. All of the ports facing forward on the Hydradock seems a bit silly. I wish the Hub+ was coming out. It looked perfect and was elegant.

ah well. I guess I will ponder for a few.

true, but they do have another USB-C output, and I have the USB-C to display port cable, and they have an HDMI that outputs to 4K.

There is still a problem guys, having a male displayport in one end and usb C on other dose not solve the problem. I need to connect my cinema screen to my new macbook, so usb c mail on one end and minidisplay female on the other.

It worked for me. But I am running a Dell 27" monitor. I am shocked that the display port is backwards compared to all other monitors in the Cinema Display.

I found a pretty cool way around this, at least for my setup.

I bought the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multipart Adapter. I then bought an HDMI cable to DVI cable that supports the full 2560X1440 resolution of the monitor. I then picked up a USB 3.0 HUB with SD Card, and it works. also! it is only 1 cable plugged in and out. I am happy and pumped.

It isn't as pretty as the Hub+, but at the end of the day, got me what I wanted.

I've a similar setup.

I use a usb-c digital av multiport + usb 3.0 hubs with ethernet port.

I bought the hub is plug and play no driver need on ethernet port. 😎

hdmi to dvi cable for monitor output.

charging macbook, external display and using 3 usb and 1 ethernet at the same time at home!

when i working outside i just need usb-c multiport.
