Microsoft's 4K-capable Xbox One refresh keeps the original Xbox One's full I/O panel: an HDMI 2.0b output for 4K HDR gaming, an HDMI 1.4b input for cable-box passthrough (1080p only), three USB 3.0 Type-A ports (two rear, one front), an optical S/PDIF (TOSLINK) digital audio output, a 3.5mm IR Blaster output, and a Gigabit Ethernet jack. The Kinect port from the original Xbox One was removed at the One S transition — Kinect now connects via USB through a discontinued external adapter.
