What does DFP and UFP mean in the context of PowerLab C?

‘DFP’ is short for ‘Downstream Facing Port’ and ‘UFP’ is short for ‘Upstream Facing Port’. The PowerLab C is intended to sit ‘Downstream’ of the PC and ‘upstream’ of one or more connected C Series Devices. The 4 ‘Top’ ports on the rear of the PowerLab C that are intended to connect to other C Series Devices are referred to as Downstream Facing Ports (or DFPs). The ‘PC’ port and the Auxiliary Power port are ‘Upstream Facing Ports’ (or UFPs).
