What kind of thunderbolt hub do I need for a new Macbook Pro

Hi:

Re: "... but need USB ports ... "

Presumably you mean USB-A ports as the MBP has USB-C ports.

The minimalist approach is a USB-C to USB-A dongle:

USB-C to USB Adapter

If you have "heavy" I/O needs, you can "move up" to a very nice unit from CalDigit which will also charge your MBP.

CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock

There are lots of products on the market; USB-C / Thunderbolt-3 provides a lot of alternatives to meet your needs.

Oops! Kinda let secondary idea run away with first topic..!

Examples of USB-C/USB-3 hubs, with power through or not:

Belkin USB 3.0 4-Port Hub + USB-C Cable - Apple

Take care & happy trails!🌞🎣

There is an optional cord for use with Apple power adapters, to replace

the toggle end "duck-head" portion of the AC input; that is removed to

make use of extension cable. It custom fits most similar Apple adapters.

An Apple source may have them in stock, OR be able to order those.

Most of mine were way below retail, found in second-hand store bins.

Good luck & happy trails!🌻🐝

👍 You’re most welcome.

Glad to help steer you into a whole new world of USB networking hardware you can now “give yourself” for Christmas. 😉

Enjoy the new MBP too. (I LOVE mine)
