What is a Port Replicator?
A Port Replicator is a device which is used to connect portable computers such as notebook computers or laptops to non-portable peripherals i.e. monitor, keyboard, scanner or a printer. Instead of connecting directly to the notebook computer, the peripherals are connected first to the Port Replicator and the notebook computer is then connected to the Port Replicator. This allows an individual to connect a number of peripherals simultaneously to a single notebook computer.
