Port bar
Alternatively referred to as a port replicator, a port bar is a hardware device that is used to connect peripherals to a computer. These devices are commonly used with laptop computers; for example, a user may have a port bar with a network connection, modem connection, standard keyboard and mouse, and a monitor connected to it. This would allow a user to use the laptop like a regular computer with all the standard components and at the same time be able to disconnect from the port bar and have the mobility of the laptop computer.
