USB-C splitter cable?

I have a MacBook with a single usb-c port. I'm running High Sierra, 10.13.4

I need a splitter cable, or a usb-c to usb-c hub, that will allow me to


1) plug in my "ethernet to usb-c" cable, (or else has a direct ethernet plug-in), and

2) plug in my usb-c power cable


I'm having trouble finding anything on the market that has 2 usb-c ports which will work for charging the computer, not just for data transmission.


I've tried usb to usb-c adapters, but they don't seem to work for charging, only for data transmission.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

thanks,

Allan

MacBook, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)

This one only has one USB-C port that can be used as a power passthrough or to connect to a USB-C host. It also has an ethernet port:

Another one that might work is the Kingston Nucleum. It's the only one I've heard of that actually has two USB-C ports, although some reviews say that it glitches for a second when a USB-PD power adapter is initially plugged in.
