Exact scope

Valve Steam Deck Docking Station described on the official Dock specification page; not third-party Steam Deck docks.

Selected documented external port groups only. This is not a complete inventory, measured hardware test or guarantee for an attached accessory. The drawings identify connector families, not device-specific contacts or chassis geometry.

Same connector form, different documented roles

USB-C: Captive USB-C host cable — Upstream host · USB-C power input — Power input

Do not transfer a capability from one location to another merely because the connector outline matches.

Upstream host

Captive USB-C host cable

A captive USB-C cable connects the dock to Steam Deck. This is a cable end, not an additional receptacle.

Read before using the profile

Dock display outputs are not offered as standalone source endpoints in the two-endpoint brief because the upstream host and dock topology must also be represented.
Simultaneous display behavior and firmware-dependent MST notes remain outside this inventory.
