Hey all. I’ve been looking for a small, basic USB-C hub with pass through power. Like literally just 4 USB-C ports, a short cable and a USB-C power in. No extra nonsense, just a minimal way to connect an SSD, a monitor, and power to my deck, and charge a peripheral if necessary. It seems unreasonably hard to find! Any suggestions?

You could just get a cheap adapter and a pack of a to c adapters.

I got my adapter from AliExpress https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806910619920.html

I have a few of those, but the Mokin hub suggested by u/Fubarberry above is exactly what I was after, I’m trying to get it to be as tiny as possible.

USB-C supports a lot more than USB-A does. Buying a USB-A dock and then using type-C adapters will limit the functionality to whatever the original USB-A or adapter supports (whichever one has lower capabilities will set the limit). It won't support display over usb-c for example.
