Compact silver USB-C adapter with USB-A port and microSD slot

Fervit

Fervit 10Gbps USB-C to USB 3.0 & MicroSD Card Reader

SKU CH-5QEM-YHGA9

A reversible USB-C adapter adds a USB 3.0 port and a microSD slot with 10 Gbps data speed, though both cannot operate simultaneously

  • 10Gbps transfer speed for fast file moves
  • OTG function lets phones and tablets read cards directly
  • Reversible USB-C plug inserts either way up
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable connections
  • Single-piece moulded body withstands daily knocks

Compact USB-C adapter with microSD slot

The Fervit adapter adds a USB 3.0 Type-A port and a microSD card reader to any device with a USB-C connector. It supports USB On-The-Go so phones and tablets can act as hosts for flash drives or keyboards. Data transfers run at up to 10 Gbps when a single function is active. The single-piece moulded body uses gold- and silver-plated contacts for reliable mating cycles.

Passive thermal profile and bus power

No active cooling is present; the all-metal housing dissipates the small heat load from the controller during sustained transfers. Power is drawn exclusively from the host USB-C port at 5 V, so no external supply is required. Acoustic output is zero because there are no moving parts. The adapter remains cool to the touch under typical file-copy workloads.

OTG host mode and mutual-exclusion operation

The OTG function lets mobile devices read microSD cards or USB peripherals without a computer. A hardware constraint prevents the USB-A port and the microSD slot from operating simultaneously; only one path is active at a time. This means you must unplug a thumb drive before inserting a card, or vice versa. The reversible USB-C plug simplifies orientation on laptops, tablets and phones.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Fervit 10Gbps USB-C reader to my laptop?

Insert the reversible Type-C male plug into the laptop's USB-C port; the reader draws 5 V power from the port and requires no driver installation.

What ongoing care does the MicroSD slot on the Fervit 10Gbps reader need?

Keep the gold silver-plated contacts clean by blowing out dust; the single-piece moulded body has no moving parts, so no mechanical maintenance is required.

What limits throughput when I copy large files to a MicroSDXC card through the Fervit 10Gbps reader?

The 10 Gbps USB 3.0 interface caps the maximum transfer rate; the card's own speed class will determine the actual sustained throughput.
