I had to stop for a second and look. I have a usb-c hub that outputs to gigabit and multiple usb 3.0 plugs.
A quick google search returns https://satechi.net/collections/usb-type-c/products/type-c-multi-port-adapter-with-ethernet-v2#detail-section https://satechi.net/collections/usb-type-c/products/type-c-m... which isn't what I have, but it's more of the same.
My complaint about usb-c hubs, when I was looking for one a year ago is I couldn't find one that did 4k60, gigabit ethernet, and 2 or more usb 3.0 plugs. This has led me to plugging in two cables instead of one for years. If my monitor had a gigabit ethernet plug, I'd be set, because it outputs a bunch of usb (2) ports.

- proverbialbunny 7y agoThis explains a lot. Thanks! Hopefully USB 4 will make it possible.
- hinkley 7y agoYou have a dock, an adapter, a breakout box or whatever the cool kids are calling it. A USB hub is just one USB port in and N out. There is no such thing for USB-c. You can't even chain those adapters. The USB-c 'in' port that you plug power into? No data on that line. Just power. And some of those adapters send the wrong voltage to USB-2 devices. Had a hell of a time with my keyboard and mouse until I started plugging the power directly into the computer.
- com2kid 7y agoBut only 1 USB-C 3.1 plug! I guess we'll have to wait another few years. I can see why this all is though, the limitations are going to be insane.
