Features

by way of a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter.

Using the 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 bus, Sonnet's SxS Pro card reader can operate at speeds up to 2750 MB/s using its
dual SxS card slots. It is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, one of which connects to your host system, while
the second can be used to daisy-chain up to ve additional devices, including additional card readers, two 4K displays
@ 60 Hz, or one 5K display @ 60 Hz. If your connected device requires additional power, 15W of bus power is
provided. In additional to support for Thunderbolt 3, the second port also supports 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Type-C.

General Features

Productivity Enhancer
Sonnet's SxS Pro Card Reader is a is equipped with dual card slots and takes advantage of Thunderbolt 3's 40
Gb/s bandwidth to ingest les simultaneously from two cards at more than double the average speed of USB 3.0
card readers. Using the Sonnet SxS reader enables you to ingest footage from multiple cards in less time for a
more e cient work ow.

Thunderbolt 3
The SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader includes two Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) ports. The rst connects it to your
computer, while the second supports daisy chaining of up to ve additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices to a
single port on your computer. The reader includes 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 support, meaning you can connect a USB
device to the second port using the proper cable or adapter. The SxS reader also provides full support for
connecting up to two 4K displays @ 60 Hz or one 5K display @ 60 Hz. For connected devices requiring extra
power, 15W is provided to power other devices using the USB bus, such as the SF3 Series CFast 2.0 Pro Card
Reader.

Compact, Rugged, and Stackable - Ingest Four or More Cards Simultaneously

The SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader measures 5.75" wide by 1" high by 5.1" deep, making it suitable for use in
 most workspaces. Its extruded aluminum shell makes it lightweight, yet rugged enough to be transported in an
equipment bag. It is also designed to be stacked, allowing for multiple readers, such as additional SxS Pro card
readers and Sonnet's CFast 2.0 Pro card readers to occupy the same footprint. This SxS reader enables you to
daisy-chain multiple readers to ingest four, six, or more cards simultaneously, taking advantage of Thunderbolt
3's bandwidth of up to 2750 MB/s.

Supports SxS, XQD, and SDXC Cards

The SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader supports virtually all generations of SxS media, including E Series cards.
When used with proper adapters (sold separately), you can even use XQD and SDXC cards with this reader.

Thunderbolt 3 Cable and ThunderLok 3 Included

Sonnet includes a 1.6' Thunderbolt 3 cable to connect the SF3 Series SxS Pro Card Reader to your computer and
a Sonnet ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt connector retainer clip to secure the cable to the reader. Accidental cable
disconnect can lead to data loss and Sonnet's ThunderLok 3 helps to secure the Thunderbolt 3 cable to the SxS
reader. It is easy to install and use - just slide it over one end of the cable and then plug in the connector and
secure it to the reader by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its design, ThunderLok does not attach to the
connector, but remains on the cable so it won't get lost when it is not in use.

Compatible with Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt Macs

This card reader can be used on Macs equipped with either Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt technology, provided
an adapter is used, such as Apple's Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter. There is no
Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt compatibility for Windows.

macOS and Windows Compatible

When connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port, this card reader is compatible with macOS 10.12.1+ and Windows 10
(64-bit), version 1703 or greater.

Had to return this item because it does not support

Had high hopes for this reader but Had to return
because does not work with Sony AXSM bigger SxS
cards and rmware. Those cards are 2x as thick as
regular sxs media cards. Also sonnet says (even if
they were to t) they do not have the right rmware
in this reader for those cards.
new pro grade SxS cards. Sonnet support informed
me it will not work with AXSM SxS cards used in the
new Sony Venice camera. Wish they had put that in
the specs
