If you are asking about the multiport adapter that I have, there is a small enclosed module (of some sort) in a small, not easily / obviously openable, enclosure, with "sockets" for VGA, (2x) USB (the old style large connector), RJ-45, USB-C. There is an attached short cable with a USB-C plug on the end to connect to a laptop. > I thought "that's weird" so before I wrote I had a quick read of all the > main links under the heading > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Alternate_Mode_partner_specifications > and I saw no trace of any such thing. > > As always, I'm happy to be corrected if wrong.
