That appears to only have a single C port.

It's a strange thing, you can get these super complicated docking stations with all sorts of different ports, but can't get a 4-port hub that's only usb-c connectors.

At least neither tzs nor I have found such hubs.

Googling “usb-c to usb-c multiport hub” gives me plenty of hits, for example https://www.sitecom.com/en/usb-c-hub-4-port/cn-386/p/1881: “Turn your USB-C port into 3 ultrafast USB-C ports and 1 USB-C Power Delivery Port”

Oh wow, thanks for that link, I have never come across that!

Also, when I google with your phrase, there are no hits like that on the first page. I wonder if google is customizing my searches away from what I want...

The CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock has two USB-C ports and one Thunderbolt 3 port, not counting the port for the computer itself. [0]

(To be clear, USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports have the same form factor and Thunderbolt 3 is downwards compatible with USB-C.)

This is the only way you can end up with >1 USB-C port, afaik. It's not currently possible to split USB-C like USB-A, so the only way you can get a second USB-C port is if you have a Mac and use a Thunderbolt dock.

This one works great but it gets hot as hell and if you want to use the USB hookups to charge devices, forget it, they only offer a trickle of charge

Completely misread your original comment, I apologise.

You are right, I do not see them.. I wonder if that's for a particular reason. :\
