Good powered USB hubs. Is there a difference?

I'm sorting out the lighting for the increasing amount of video conference that I'm doing and 1 of the lights is not recognised by my PC when I use two extender cables. When this happens the manufacturer recommends using a "Good quality powered USB hub" - there's endless options on Amazon, so what is one that is good enough?

The light cable itself says "USB 2.0 480 Mb/s" on it.

There's a slim chance I might use the hub to connect a second camera as well if that makes any difference.

Any powered hub recommendations? ta


EDIT: The cable that came with the light is USA A to C.

The spare camera I have is hardwired USBC only.

Yes, there are different chipsets. Some can't cope with very burst traffic, some can't cope with constant high bandwidth traffic, some drop the handshake after a quiet period, blah blah.

The metal-cased Lindy ones have proven pretty reliable at work.

Available for less elsewhere. 

Depends exactly want ports you need...currently I have 2 of the Caldigit Element 4 hubs..

Anker stuff is amongst the best Ive bought.

How far are you extending, there is a 5m limit

5m is for passive cables. Active cables can extend further. Typically they act as a hub, enabling 5m each side, or use acknowledgement-delay to enable much further.

The new Valens chipset does 100m of USB3 over CAT6 as a single hop.
