USB-C CAC Smart Card Reader

The BONAEVER USB-C CAC Smart Card Reader is a compact gadget for personnel who must authenticate with a Common Access Card or similar government ID. It serves military, civilian and contractor users needing PKI log-on, digital signatures or secure email on USB-C laptops and Android phones.

ISO7816 class A B C voltage support

The reader draws power from the USB-C port and handles 5 V, 3 V and 1.8 V smart cards under the ISO7816 standard. No external supply or driver disc is required on Windows 32 or 64 bit XP through 10, Android or macOS on 2016 to 2018 MacBook Pro models and other Type-C notebooks.

Automatic shutdown and thermal protection

Motion detection triggers an automatic shutdown when a card is removed, limiting continuous power draw. Built-in short-circuit and thermal safeguards protect both the reader and the host device during extended sessions at a desk or in the field.
