I have a USB hub that I bought recently, that has very nice markings on it that are almost like you say :)

I connects via USB4 to the host, and has the following markings on its ports:

- Power in/USB 10Gbps

- USB 10Gbps

- USB 10Gbps

- 8K HDMI

Pretty happy with this one so far.

I got a jCreate5 hub at clearance from an Office Max (rip) and the ports are labeled just like this, no futzing on which port is the PD
Maybe we even have the same one :)

Mine's this one:

j5create USB4 8K Slim Hub - 8K60/4K144 HDMI, 1 x USB-C 10Gbps with PD charging, 1 x USB-C 10Gbps, 2 x USB-A 10Gbps | Compatible with MacBook, Windows Laptops (JCH453)

I bought it because unlike many other USB hubs, the host connection is USB4 / Thunderbolt 4, instead of just USB3 for the host connection.
