Is there no such thing as a USB Type-C Hub?

I'm looking for an external USB Type-C hub (e.g. multiple USB C to single USB C input). Do such things exist? I would even settle for 2x USB C ports and 2x USB 3.0 ports that connects via USB C.

Do these exist and how can I find them (is "USB-C Hub" not the proper nomenclature)? If not, is there a reason these don't exist?

Oh okay, I see what you're looking for now, however, I don't think a product like this would work as there wouldn't be enough bandwidth available for 4 USB C ports from one port if that makes sense.

@Jamie_125, thank you for the response. Unfortunately, that is not what I'm looking for.

That is a hub with four USB 3.0 ports connecting to a computer via single USB-C input whereas I'm looking for a hub with four USB-C ports connecting to a computer via single USB-C input.

These exist for USB 3.0 to USB 3.0, but I haven't seen USB-C to USB-C and can't figure out if there are limitations to doing this or if the market for USB-C is so new, they just don't exist yet.

Thanks again. Do you know happen to know why this is the case since one-to-many hubs exist for USB 2.0 and 3.0? Is this just a limitation of the hardware?

I would have said that it is a bandwidth limitation as there's only so much power and data that can go from one USB Type C port to four others so that is probably why they don't exist.
