Abstract
An information handling system interfaces with a docking station through a cable having first and second separate plug housings with first and second port connectors. An interconnecting structure formed in the first and second plug housings biases together with magnetic attraction to align the first and second port connectors in a predetermined manner adapted to insertion in adjacent ports of the information handling system. If the information handling system has only one port or has multiple non-adjacent ports, the plug housings separate to support insertion of a single connector into the information handling system.
