USB non-splitting hubs?

Are there USB hubs without splitting?

A budget PC's front USB3.0 IOs are usually just two (I think?), but if you're really lucky you get only 1 (like me). Well, sarcasm aside I would really need transferring that sweet 5 Gb speed throughout two or three connected devices. The back side of the PC isn't really fun to stick in and out stuffs.

Ultimately, I decided to check USB extenders. There are tons of USB hubs that goes 1 input is to 3/4/7/8 outputs, but what I need are just 1:1 USB 3.0 extenders, and yeah.. is there any rectangular brick of a USB hub that has a 3 by 3 in/out?

As much as possible I would like to avoid the option of having 1 cable for 1 port, I really don't like the idea of having multiple cables flying everywhere.

Thanks!

Well again, I really recommend getting a USB hub. The Hub has 3 or 4 ports you can plug devices into. The cable from the back of the hub, goes into one o the 3.0 port son your computer. See check out my diagram:

[3-4 devices] > [USB hub] < 1 usb3.0 cable> [ 1 Desktop usb 3.0 port]

Hopefully it makes sense.
Well, here is the thing I don't understand. Why not just get a USB hub with one cable directing back to the USB port on your computer? I have an Anker hub with just one cable in my USB 3.0. Also, it pays to have more ports than one. I've had 3 USB 3.0 Devices at one, and I was able to maintain 2Gbps on average with all three.
 


I'm actually looking for good suggestions like what you're saying before buying, plus curiosity sparked since I don't even know what you would call a USB hub that will plug to 2 or more ports on pc. My question kinda looked like I'm hungry for speed or something, but yeah... The thing is I'm transferring files to devices of different people, copying and transferring quite a lot of stuffs again and again.

I didn't really consider USB 3.0 is just waay faster than USB 2.0, having 3 devices with theoretical speeds of 1.6 Gbs is not bad at all.

I would already be nitpicking at this point, but this means the rest of the rear USB 3.0 ports remain sitting there doing nothing (not a problem at all, I would just like to utilize it a bit more).
