Dock laptop LogiLink CR0046

The LogiLink CR0046 turns a laptop into a compact workstation by adding multiple USB ports and memory card readers via a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connection. This wired docking accessory provides three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and five individual card readers for SD, microSD, M2, MS and CF formats in a compact black housing (41 × 85 × 46 mm). It is compatible with macOS and designed for users who need extra connectivity and fast data transfers up to 5 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The compact, lightweight design and 0.6 m power cable make it easy to position and transport.

How to use

Connect the dock to your laptop's USB-C port using the integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C cable. Plug USB devices into the Type-A ports and insert memory cards into their respective slots. The host computer should recognise connected devices automatically; use your operating system's file manager to access card contents and attached drives. Eject cards and external storage safely before removal.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, connect the dock directly to a USB-C port on the laptop rather than through passive adapters or hubs. When transferring large files, ensure your laptop remains powered to avoid interruptions and always eject memory cards via the operating system before removing them.
