As Valve previously confirmed, the Steam Deck dock comes with a USB-C cable used for connecting to the Steam Deck USB-C port on the top of the handheld. The dock also includes a port HDMI 2.0, a Display Port 1.4, a Ethernet port and one power port and three ports USB-A (One USB 3.1 and two USB 2.0).
