Headphone Jack Extension, USB Extension, Cardreader in one device?

Hi all,

The positioning of my mac in my office makes it awkward to constantly spin it round to connect/reconnect my various bits of hardware. Is anyone aware of some kind of extender that I can plug into the USB port on the back on a short cable that will sit near my keyboard, which has on it all of the following:

- USB ports (ideally more than one, but one will suffice).
- Headphone 1/8" jack input.
- SD Card reader.

Obviously, it should be reliable and not risk damaging the mac (not sure if it would cause power/impedance issues by loading all of that through one USB port).

Does such a beast exist, has anyone used one?

Thanks,

Jri.

Hi @Jri.

Is it not possible to use a wireless headphone?

2 minute search on google for shock horror....usb hub sd card reader 3.5mm headphone jack

Never used it but seems to get good feedback.

Thanks Levi,

This is embarrassing, I went to google first, but could only seem to bring up card readers that slot into the audio jack (not sure how that works).

Nice find, there are actually a few alternative types available through that link too. That one mirrors the keyboard design pleasingly!

Thanks,

Jri.

While that one DOES have a picture of a cobra on it, I am drawn to Levi's earlier suggestion with the five USB ports.

Thanks though!

I got my superpowers by being struck by lightening and bitten by a cobra at the same time.

SOLD!
