I have a cart full of 30 iPads along with a Mac mini that's running Apple Configurator. The current setup limits me to updating only two iPads at a time, and I'm on the hunt for a USB hub that can connect and manage about 10 iPads simultaneously. I'm having trouble finding a hub with enough data ports, as I don't need the hubs to charge the iPads—just for the Mac to recognize and update them. Also, I'm only doing this twice a year, so I prefer sticking with Configurator rather than investing in a full MDM solution. By the way, I found a solution!

I found something that could work too! Have a look at this 7-port USB hub: https://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-c4/7-port-usb-3-0-hub-p13388. Just make sure it meets your USB-C requirement!
You might want to check out a hub like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Minisopuru-Powered-Charging-Chromebook-etc-Type-C/dp/B0C36LS9TC. It seems to be working well for someone else in a similar situation!
DING DING DING! Got it via Amazon Prime. It works like a charm. Thanks a lot!
I actually need USB-C, not USB-3, so I’ll keep searching. Thanks for the input!
