undockable

Able to disconnect

Undockable describes something that cannot be undocked—separated from a docking station, port, or connected position.

In computing, an undockable window or panel is one that cannot be detached from its fixed location in an interface: The toolbar is undockable in this version of the software.

The term also applies to spacecraft or vessels that cannot safely separate from their moorings.
