GLOSSARY

• Interface / port / connector / input / slot – a place where two devices physically interconnect.
• Controller – a semi-conductor component (so-called chipset) in a laptop, tablet, PC, etc. ensuring the operation of a port.
• USB-C – is a new symmetrical connector that allows faster charging, energizing, double-function (a host and a guest), support for alternative modes (DisplayPort, MHL, and Thunderbolt).
• Alternate modes (Alt modes) – special modes for the USB-C connector that can be supported. Currently, the most popular modes are DisplayPort / DockPort, MHL, Thunderbolt. A device with this capability on the port and cable allows video transmission while also retaining other port functionalities (for data transfer and charging via Power Delivery).
• DisplayPort / DockPort Alt mode – this mode allows video transmission via the USB-C port and cable.
• USB-C Power Delivery (USB-C PD) – optional property of the USB-C connector. A connector with this support can charge and be charged at the same time and it supports loads from 10W to 100W (depending on profiles 1-5).
• USB 3.1 / 3.0 / 2.0 – USB interface / port standard for connecting various USB devices. Using the type-A USB interface allows the connection of various USB devices to a docking station or adapter. The type B USB port is used for connecting a docking station or adapter to a laptop, tablet, or PC.
• Display Port – standard for digital graphics interface/port used for connecting monitors and other display devices.
• LAN (Local Area Network) – the local computer network is now the most popular Ethernet that achieves a theoretical transfer rate of up to 1 Gbit/s at the docking station – GLAN / RJ-45.
