My Lenovo X1 Carbon (6th gen) supposedly has a MicroSD card reader. But I have never had to use a MicroSD card reader before and I couldn't identify this port. I tried to put the microSD card in, but it didn't fit. So, what is this? The flash is a bit strong, but the icon for this port is three squares being connected with lines.

It's great that you got an answer to your question. However, identifying ports and similar things from an image is generally off-topic. Among other reasons, it isn't searchable, which means that it can't be of much help to others with a similar question, which is kind of the purpose of the site.

It's used for an ethernet adapter. This range of laptop is too thin to put a full sized RJ-45 port in, so they use this port to extend out.
If you didn't receive one in the box, you should be able to buy one from Lenovo directly.
Part Name: ThinkPad Ethernet Extension Adapter Gen 2
Part Number: 4X90Q84427
Here is a link to the product page:
https://www.lenovo.com/nz/en/accessories-and-monitors/cables-and-adapters/adapters/CABLE-BO-Ethernet-Extension-Adapter-2/p/4X90Q84427
As for the MicroSD card reader, it should be located under a cover at the back of the laptop, near one of the hinges:

This is so silly. We already have USB 3 (10 Gbps), Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gbps), both of which are easily capable of driving gigabit and even 10 gigabit ethernet. You'll never find a use for a dongle like this outside of Lenevo land, and you can't source it from anywhere else either. There's no need for this proprietary crap.

@Alexander I'm going to guess this isn't doing any protocol translation from USB to Ethernet, etc. It's just a breakout header for the LAN port directly to whatever the networking circuitry runs on.

Yeah, that's probably the case, but it's not like it made the device any cheaper. It's $38 USD from Lenovo's site, whereas Amazon offers multiple USB 3 to gigabit ethernet adapters for $14-20 (with really good reviews, too).

It's great that you got an answer to your question. However, identifying ports and similar things from an image is generally off-topic. Among other reasons, it isn't searchable, which means that it can't be of much help to others with a similar question, which is kind of the purpose of the site.
