    I only see 2.0 squid hubs or 3.0 PCB hubs. :( Any particular reason you don't want the latter in a 3.0 bus?

    Still on a PCB. The male end is just to connect to the PC. I really could not find the squid type OP is looking for in a 3.0 bus for the life of me - not sure if those even exist since USB 3.0 draws more mA; I'm guessing the ones with the PCB have additional circuitry for the additional draw? I'd have to research that.

    I've search so much for this.... can't find any.... I guess I'll have to buy a small one and add cables to each port.
    maybe this will work:
