Sparksd, that looks like an interesting hub. I just sent an email to the manufacturer asking if it would work for my application, and will report back when I get a response. I agree with you that it is preferable to have a detachable cord, especially if the adapters with fixed cords are not long enough to suit.

Hi folks, as promised, I am following up after some email exchanges with the manufacturer of the "Uni" hub on Amazon that Sparksd posted a link to. The manufacturer said that the hub cannot be powered by or pass through power from a PoE connection to the RJ-45 jack. However, if one connects a non-PoE ethernet cable to the hub, and connects a power supply to the hub, then the hub will send both power and data over the USB-C cord to an iPad Pro, and it can achieve up to gigabit speeds. So this is a viable option for people who aren't using PoE to power the device.

Thanks for the update. Not surprising as I suspect that these hub makers consider the use of PoE as rare in their intended user base and don't see it a profit center.
