I've got a 27" iMac (2017) and need more usb c ports but am confused at which hub to get.

Any ideas?

ETA2: Just seen this when going to order the above from Amazon, its 4 port not 5 but runs at 10gbps rather than 5 and is £19 ... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BVQKQ9P3/ref...

The iMac is mains powered as it's a desktop.

Pass through may be handy at a later date for a laptop or other device that powers via USB-C but not relevant to an iMac
