All about Computer Ports
A port is a socket on a computer where you can plug in a cable or device. Common ports include USB ports for keyboards and memory sticks, HDMI ports for screens and headphone jacks for sound. Each port is designed for a particular type of connection.
Some ports are shaped so that a plug can only fit one way round, which helps prevent damage. Newer computers often have more USB-C ports, which can carry power, data and video through a single small connector.
