"Can I connect my Aspire V5-122P to a LAN or VGA port?

Some systems ship with an adapter to allow you to connect to a LAN or VGA port. If your system did not ship with an adapter, you can order the Acer Converter Cable. The Acer Converter Cable is a one-to-three cable that provides an Ethernet port, VGA port and an additional USB port.

One cable, three types of connectivity = câble "trois-en-un" in FR.

Easy, simple, and accurate. No need to make up a new word to describe such a simple concept.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : Surely that would translate 'three in one'? Well, it's really FOUR connections: one end going to 3 different connections. IN EN there is a diff. between ' in 1' and 1 into 3', I find it hard to believe FR would be incapable of making the same distinction

How many cables do we have? -1- How many types of connection does that cable provide? -3- How can that not describe a "trois-en-un" cable? Seriously./USB, VGA and Ethernet=>3 connections; I'm curious to know the difference between '3 in 1' and '1 into 3'?
disagree Daryo : that would be one ending that could fit 3 standards // the only case I know of is a connector that can accept 2 standards, either a LAN cable or a standard phone modem cable; never heard of any capable of 3 standards
