Motherboards with USB-C 3.1 gen1 connector

USB-C 3.2 gen1

— the presence of at least one USB-C 3.2 gen1 connector on the board (earlier marking was USB-C 3.1 gen1 and USB-C 3.0).

The connectors are used to connect the USB ports located on the front or top panel of the case to the board. Accordingly, the presence of several connectors allows you to use several of these ports. The same type of connector is designed to work with a USB-C connector that complies with USB 3.2 gen1. Recall that USB-C differs from the classic USB connector in its smaller size and double-sided design. And the USB 3.2 gen1 version allows you to transfer information at speeds up to 4.8 Gbps and provide power up to 4.5 W in standard mode and up to 7.5 W when charging external devices. In addition, when used with USB-C, this version of the connection can implement the Power Delivery function, in the presence of which the maximum power supply is increased to 100 W per connector. However, the presence of such a function should be clarified separately.
