Is There USB C Hub with USB C Power Delivery Passthrough, Supports USB C a External Monitor and No External Power Powerbrick

This is a question on whether this actually exists.

  • A USB C hub, where I can connect it via USB C for power delivery and connect it to my laptop via USB C to power it.
  • Can support an external monitor, think those portable external monitors that use USB C connection, the ones you see all the time on Ozb. This means not using HDMI or Display Port
  • Has no external power brick, so it's not a docking station which all seem to require a power brick. Instead of powering via usb c connections.
  • Headphone/Mic Jack

Similar to the UGreen Revodock series. Where only the triple monitor usb c hub is close. With USB C power delivery passthrough, but uses HDMI for the external montior connections instead.

Does this even exist?

    Dont think it has the PD, but may be something like this will work for you

      Looks like this is not really something you are looking for, anyway.

      Yeah, that one has an external power supply, rather than powered via USB C charging. I've already got 100w USB C chargers, and wanted to minimise the extra power bricks.

      Laptops use USB C, singular 100w usb c charger to power everything. Alas, it seems impossible right now

    here's a cheap one I almost bought at $40 something dollars. https://www.amazon.com.au/Xiaomi-Supports-Resolution-Chargin…

    I didn't actually need it so I didn't buy.

    not sure if meets all your requirements I'm not an expert.

      That one uses HDMI for the monitor output, when I wanted USB C instead. There are a lot of HDMI or display port usb c hubs. It's the USB C monitor output port that's missing.

        sorry my bad. I don't even have a USB-C monitor but I thought 100W out from the USB-C would be enough to power one.

        what is USB monitor output called again? thunderbolt?

        • somesomebargin123 on 04/05/2025 - 20:41

          I think it might be thunderbolt? Although, I don't think I've seen a usb c thunderbolt hub, only docks.

    The technology just might not be here yet. Or perhaps it's a market and cost thing. People who want USB C monitor connections would power more than a singular monitor, hence the need for a thunderbolt dock. Whereas a regular HDMI connection is cheap and most likely good enough for most people who want usb c hubs.

    Truly tragic.
