USB-C (Alt Mode)

— motherboards with at least one USB-C port supporting Alternate Mode.

The features of USB-C are detailed in separate items of this list (USB-C 5Gbps, USB-C 10Gbps). Here we note that the physical connector of this type can accommodate not only USB connections but also other interfaces. Specifically, the Thunderbolt standard versions v3 and v4 operate through the USB-C port — and most often, Alternate Mode support signifies the capability to connect Thunderbolt accessories to USB-C 5Gbps or USB-C 10Gbps. However, this is not limited to just that; similar connectors can also facilitate other operating formats, specifically video interfaces like DisplayPort or HDMI. Therefore, it wouldn't hurt to clarify the specific capabilities of Alternate Mode separately before purchasing.
