We may not see products based on it until 2020. We've heard from an anonymous person that Intel is finally releasing a hub chip for USB-C next year. Update (): Accidental Tech Podcast reports on a rumor that next year Intel will finally ship the chip that’s needed for making a USB-C that adds additional type-C ports. There is supposedly news for 2019/2020 that suggests hub chips may be coming soon: None of these USB-C “hubs” actually give you more USB-C ports. Some of the same complaints are outlined here, from when zero port-duplicating "hubs" were available: There appears to be some kind of spec, chip, or marketing limitation the prevents them from being made. It's very easy to find 7-port USB-A 3.0 hubs from well-known companies the same cannot be said for USB-C. There are some 2 and 4-port USB-C hubs now available, but none seem to be cheap, simple, or reliable.
Simple one-to-many USB-C hubs with a large number of ports, for some reason, do not really seem to exist. These hubs also seem to pass through USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode signals, allowing them to be used with non-Thunderbolt devices. In 2021 Thunderbolt 4 docks are now available, which for the first time allow for USB-C / Thunderbolt true multi-port hubs.įor the first time, Thunderbolt 4 will offer docks with up to four Thunderbolt ports and universal cables up to 2 meters in length. This USB-C® 3.2 Gen 2 multi-adapter provides a 4K HDMI video output, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a SD and microSD 3.
