Specifies the physical configuration or design of a product, such as ATX, Micro‑ATX, Mini‑ITX, tower, case with cover, etc. It describes how the device is built and what mounting or expansion options it supports.

The maximum electrical current that a device can supply on its +12 V rail, expressed in amperes (A). It indicates the peak output capability of the power source for components that require 12‑volt power and is useful for matching devices with compatible power supplies or accessories.

The highest electrical current that a device can supply from its +3.3 V rail, expressed in amperes (A). This value indicates the maximum load capacity of the power supply or regulator for components powered at 3.3 V and helps users verify compatibility with devices requiring this voltage level.

The maximum electrical current that a device can supply on its +5 V power rail, expressed in amperes (A). This value indicates the peak current capability of the 5 V output and is useful for determining compatibility with peripherals or accessories that draw power from this rail.

The highest electrical current that a device can supply to its +5 Vsb power rail under normal operating conditions. This value indicates the maximum load the +5 Vsb output can handle and helps users verify compatibility with components such as fans, LEDs, or other peripherals that draw power from this rail.

The highest electrical current that a device can deliver from its –12 V rail under normal operating conditions, expressed in amperes (A). This value indicates the maximum output capability of the –12 V supply and helps users verify compatibility with power supplies or other components that require this voltage level.

The linear distance that the motherboard power cable covers, expressed with a standard unit of length such as meters, centimeters or inches. It represents the total usable length available to connect the motherboard to its power supply and other components.

The type of main power connector used on a motherboard, such as the standard ATX 24‑pin or the 20+4 pin variant. It indicates which cable and socket are required to supply power from the power supply unit to the board.

The total count of SATA power connectors available on a power supply or motherboard. It indicates how many physical SATA power ports can be used to connect storage devices such as hard drives, SSDs, or optical drives. The value is an integer and helps users determine the expansion capacity for SATA-based storage.

The linear distance that a PCI Express power cable covers, expressed with a length unit such as meters, centimeters or inches. It represents the total usable length of the cable for connecting a power supply to a motherboard or other PCI Express device.

The total count of power connectors that use the PCI Express (6+2 pin) configuration on a device, such as a computer or power supply unit. This value indicates how many separate power connections are available for components that require PCIe power delivery.

The ratio of real power to apparent power in an electrical system, expressed as a unit‑less number between 0 and 1. It indicates how efficiently the device converts supplied voltage into useful work; values closer to 1 mean less reactive power and higher efficiency.

Indicates whether a power supply unit implements Power‑Factor Correction (PFC) technology, which improves electrical efficiency and reduces harmonic distortion. The value is typically "Active" for units that include active PFC circuitry or "Passive" for those without it.

A comma‑separated list of the electrical protection mechanisms built into a device, such as overcurrent, overload, short circuit, under voltage, and overheating safeguards. The attribute indicates which protective features are present to protect the equipment and connected components from abnormal power conditions.

The linear distance that a SATA power cable can cover, expressed in a standard unit of length such as millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm) or inches. It represents the total usable length of the cable for connecting a SATA power connector to a device.

The maximum electrical power that a product can consume or deliver during its operation, expressed in watts (W). It represents the peak power requirement or output of the device and is useful for sizing power supplies, estimating energy usage, and comparing performance across similar products.
