Motherboards with USB-C 5Gbps connector

USB-C 5Gbps connector

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

Connectors are used to connect USB ports located on the front or top panel of the case to the board. Accordingly, having multiple connectors allows for the use of several such ports. This type of connector is intended for use with the USB-C port, corresponding to the 5Gbps version. Let's recall that USB-C differs from the classic USB connector by its smaller size and reversible design. The USB-C 5Gbps version allows data transfer at speeds up to 4.8 Gbps and provides power output up to 4.5 watts in standard mode and up to 7.5 watts in device charging mode. In addition, when used with USB-C in this version of the connection, the Power Delivery function can be implemented, where present, which increases the maximum power output up to 100 watts per connector. However, the presence of this function should be clarified separately.
