The claimed design for a communication hub offset standoff bracket, as set forth in the following specification; fig. 1.1is a bottom perspective view of a communication hub offset standoff bracket showing the new design in an illustrative use-case scenario coupling a lower communication hub and an upper communication hub in an offset relationship in three substantially orthogonal axes; fig. 1.2is a right elevation view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1in the illustrative use-case scenario; fig. 1.3is a bottom perspective view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; fig. 1.4is a bottom plan view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; fig. 1.5is a top plan view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; fig. 1.6is a right elevation view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; fig. 1.7is a left elevation view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; fig. 1.8 is a rear elevation view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; fig. 1.9is a front elevation view of the communication hub offset standoff bracket of fig. 1.1; the claimed ornamental design is shown embodied on an assembly that may be used, for example, in an industrial automation system; in an illustrative example, the claimed ornamental design may operate as an offset bracket to couple at least two communication hubs in an automated conveyor system such as shown; the dash-dash lines shown in the drawings illustrate unclaimed portions of the claimed design and form no part of the claimed design; the long-dash-double-short-dash broken lines shown in the drawings illustrate unclaimed portions of illustrative use-case environment(s) and form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
