USB port
• Several USB versions have been released, with newer versions (i.e.,
USB 3.0) transferring data and information faster than earlier ones
(i.e., USB 2.0).
• Newer versions are backward compatible, which means they
support older USB devices as well as newer ones.
• To attach multiple peripheral devices using a single USB port, you
can use a USB hub.
• A USB hub is a device that plugs in a USB port on the computer or
mobile device.
• And contains multiple USB ports, into which you plug cables from
USB devices. Some USB hubs are wireless.

Docking Stations
• A docking station is similar to a port replicator, but it has more
functionality.
• A docking station, which is an external device that attaches to a
mobile computer or device, contains a power connection and
provides connections to peripheral devices.
• may include slots for memory cards, optical disc drives, and other
devices.
• With the mobile computer or device in the docking station, users
can work with a full-sized keyboard, a mouse, and other desktop
peripheral devices from their laptop or tablet.
