CFexpress Type A reader

The Sabrent CR-CFXA reads CFexpress Type A memory cards and connects to a host via a fixed 15cm USB-C cable. It is aimed at photographers and video creators who need to offload footage from compatible cameras such as the Sony FX3 or FX6 for editing and backup.

Plug-and-play setup

The reader is bus-powered and requires no external power supply or driver installation on Windows or macOS. It supports both BOT and UASP mass-storage modes for broad compatibility, and the short integrated cable limits placement flexibility on some desks.

800MB/s transfer headroom

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface delivers up to 10Gbps bandwidth, allowing sustained transfers up to 800MB/s with fast cards. Performance drops when connected to older USB ports, and the single-slot design means only one card can be read at a time.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the card reader is operating at the full 10Gbps link speed after plugging it in?

The LED indicator lights up when the device is ready. On Windows or macOS, check the system USB tree or System Information to verify the connection is running at USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps).

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a USB-A adapter separately?

The package contains the card reader with its integrated 15cm USB-C cable. A USB-C to USB-A adapter is not included, so purchase one if your host only has Type-A ports.

Which CFexpress Type A cards are supported for use with Sony FX3, FX6, FX30, A1 or A7S III cameras?

The reader accepts all CFexpress Type A memory cards compatible with those Sony camera models. Choose any capacity or speed rating; the reader handles them via the 10Gbps USB-C interface.
