Motherboards with a USB-A 5Gbps connector

USB-A 5Gbps connector

— the presence of at least one USB-A 5Gbps connector on the board (previously labeled as USB 3.2 gen1 and USB 3.0).

Connectors are used to connect USB ports located on the front or top panel of the case to the board. Accordingly, the presence of multiple connectors allows the use of several such ports. This type of connector is intended for the classic (full-sized) USB port, corresponding to the 5Gbps version. This version allows for data transfer speeds of up to 4.8 Gbps and power output of up to 4.5 watts in standard mode and up to 7.5 watts in charging mode for external devices.
