[SOLVED] Need help finding a USB-C Hub that has DisplayPort passthrough ?

[Deleted member 362816]

I haven't dabbled with this topic very often and I am not finding the answer I need on the forum or on google.

If this product exists please post a link to one that Amazon has for sale.

What I need to accomplish:

Laptop has 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with Display Port

I need to add more USB's to this laptop that are high speed but I am currently using this port to go to a Dell 27 1440p 165hz monitor via USB-C to DP.

I would like to find a hub that adds more usb ports but I am still able to retain my DP connection.

Any ideas would be great.

This isn't possible due to the Alt Mode specification. According to Wikipedia:

One, two or all four of the differential pairs that USB uses for the SuperSpeed bus can be configured dynamically to be used for DisplayPort lanes

Basically this means the DisplayPort alt-mode hijacks the lines USB-C would've used for USB. The only way to have USB and DP at the same time is if your USB-C supports Thunderbolt and get a Thunderbolt based dock. Alternatively, you can buy a hub that plugs into another USB port on the laptop.
