port replicator

A device used to quickly connect multiple peripherals to a laptop using only one connector. The desktop devices are permanently plugged into the port replicator, which connects to the laptop via the USB port, PC Card slot or proprietary expansion port. The replicator provides a secondary set of ports for the monitor, printer, network, keyboard and mouse, equivalent to those on the laptop.

A port replicator is similar to a docking station, but does not contain speakers or any PCI slots for peripheral expansion. See docking station.
