Angelbird Card Reader PKT CFexpress B - AB-CFXBCRPKT

This reader exclusively supports CFexpress Type B memory cards.

The reader supports speeds up to 20 Gb/s when connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port.

A USB-C cable is required. For optimal 20 Gb/s speeds, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 compatible cable is recommended, though a standard USB-C 3.1/3.2 cable will also work at lower speeds.

Yes, the reader features a protective cap that allows you to store a CFexpress card inside it for portability.

The physical switch prevents accidental data modification or deletion on the CFexpress card while it's inserted in the reader and the switch is in the locked position.

Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports are often compatible with USB protocols, including USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. If your Thunderbolt port supports this USB standard, you should achieve maximum speeds. However, it functions as a USB device, not a Thunderbolt device.

Angelbird typically offers a 3-year limited warranty on their products. Please refer to the official Angelbird website or product packaging for the most accurate warranty details.

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB-C port on your computer. Verify that your operating system supports the device. If using a USB hub, connect the reader directly to the computer.

Confirm you are using a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port on your computer and a compatible high-quality USB-C cable. Ensure the CFexpress card itself is capable of high-speed performance. Close unnecessary applications that may be consuming system resources.

Ensure the CFexpress card is inserted correctly and fully. Safely eject the reader from your operating system before disconnecting. Try formatting the card (after backing up data) using the camera or a dedicated card formatting utility.

Ensure the switch is moved fully to the desired position. Clean any debris around the switch mechanism. Note that the switch only prevents writes initiated through the reader; data can still be altered if the card is accessed directly via another reader or device.
