Card reader ORICO CA913541 Aluminum USB-C with 3 ports (USB-C connector, aluminum housing)

ORICO CA913541 is an aluminum USB-C hub and card reader that combines a TF card slot with three Type-A ports (two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0). The compact metal housing improves durability and heat dissipation, while the 150 cm cable and USB-C input make it suitable for modern laptops, tablets and smartphones that support OTG. The hub supports simultaneous operation of all ports and offers Plug & Play compatibility with Windows and macOS.

Advantages

The aluminium housing with a striped surface improves heat dispersion and provides a lightweight but durable enclosure. With one high-speed USB 3.0 port (up to 5 Gbps) and two USB 2.0 ports (up to 480 Mbps), the hub supports both fast data transfer and connection of legacy peripherals. All four interfaces operate independently, and the device is plug-and-play with no additional drivers required. OTG compatibility allows connection to OTG-capable smartphones and tablets (OTG cable or adapter required).

How to use

Connect the hub's USB-C plug to a compatible USB-C port on your computer, tablet or OTG-capable smartphone (an OTG adapter or cable may be required). Insert a TF card into the card slot or connect USB devices to the Type-A ports. The USB 3.0 port provides faster transfer rates for supported devices; USB 2.0 ports are suitable for peripherals such as keyboards and mice. The hub is plug-and-play on supported operating systems; wait for the host device to recognize connected media or peripherals before accessing files or using connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For stable performance, avoid overloading the hub with high-power devices that require external power. Use the USB 3.0 port for high-speed data transfer and place the hub in a ventilated area to benefit from the aluminium housing’s heat dissipation. Ensure your smartphone or tablet supports OTG before attempting mobile connections and use a compatible OTG cable or adapter.
