Thanks, everyone, I see it's better to look for a hub with a power
supply than for a hub and then a power supply.

Best,



Here's one that comes with a 4 amp adapter. It has USB3 and
USB2 data ports, and the upstream is USB3.

This is just a charging hub, rather than carrying
USB data. I double checked, and it cheats like the
next two items. The adapter is "12V/3A US Power Adapter"
so DC 12V to 5V conversion is inside the hub.

This one apparently uses a (not shown in picture!) 12V @ 3A
external adapter, to power a 7 port USB3 hub. That means
you could run 7 ports at 5V @ 900mA each (7 * 4.5W = 31.5W).

And here's another 7 port one with no USB-C on it. Same deal,
with the 12V @ 3A external adapter, and power conversion inside
the hub to make 5V.

If I switch down to a 4 port, I get a 5V @ 2 amp adapter.

If there was a selector on these sites for "5 amp" I might
have better luck dialing one in.
