koblet

Koblet is the past participle of the Norwegian verb koble, meaning to connect, link, or pair. As an adjective, it describes something that has been connected or integrated with another component, system, or network. The term is commonly used in technical and everyday contexts to indicate that parts have been joined or configured to work together.

The word derives from the Norwegian verb koble, with cognates in other Germanic languages. In Bokmål, koblet is the standard past participle form.

In information technology and electronics, koblet describes devices or systems that have been linked. Examples include enheten er koblet til internett (the device is connected to the Internet) and sensoren er koblet til nettverket (the sensor is connected to the network). In broader contexts, it can refer to any connection or coupling, such as mechanical parts that have been joined. In some contexts, tilkoblet and koblet are used interchangeably, though tilkoblet is a frequent alternative in formal writing to emphasize the resulting state of being connected.

Related terms include kobling, tilkobling, koble, and tilkoblet. The exact usage can vary by dialect; in everyday speech, koblet is common, while in technical registers tilkoblet or tilkobling may be preferred.
