Has anyone tried a microsd card reader with the microusb to female USB OTG cable? Does it require an external power source?

I was planning on using an OTG cable with something similar to this:

Thanks for any help.

Yeap, you will need to supply 5v to the USB reader (or whatever you plug into the OTG cable)
