connectable

Able to join

Connectable describes something that can be joined, linked, or attached to something else.

The term appears most often in technology contexts, where devices, cables, or software components are designed to interface with other systems: The speaker is connectable via Bluetooth or aux cable.

Beyond tech, connectable can describe any elements capable of being brought into relationship with one another, whether physical objects or abstract ideas.
