disconnectable

Able to unplug

Disconnectable describes something that can be separated or detached from what it's connected to.

The word applies to physical connections—cables, hoses, components—and to services or relationships: The modem has a disconnectable power supply, disconnectable subscribers who haven't paid their bills.

The opposite is non-disconnectable or permanent.
