## Long description

The IOGEAR GSR205 Smart Card Reader is a USB-C / USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatible Common Access Card (CAC) and smart card reader designed for secure authentication in government, military, and private-sector systems. The reader accepts CAC/PIV and other smart cards and provides a direct-contact interface so the card’s chipset can be read reliably. It has a compact black housing and uses USB-C connectivity for easy reversible connection and high-speed data transfer.
Advantages
The physical-contact design reduces misalignment errors by ensuring the card’s electrical contacts mate directly with the reader, improving read reliability. USB-C connectivity supports modern host devices and offers fast data transfer consistent with USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance. The device is TAA compliant and intended for environments that require secure, standards-based smart card authentication.
Suitable for
Government and military personnel using CAC/PIV cards
Corporate or healthcare staff requiring smart card authentication
Systems that require secure physical-card based identification

How to use
Connect the reader to a host device using the USB-C port. Insert the smart card directly into the reader so the card’s contacts align with the reader’s contacts. Follow your system’s authentication prompts and enter your PIN when requested. The reader works with operating system smart card middleware and authentication software that supports CAC/PIV standards.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, insert and remove cards using a straight motion to avoid bending the card. Use the reader with updated smart card middleware and ensure host drivers or OS updates are installed. Store the reader and cards in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
