What our customers say
We added the USB ports to our somewhat seasoned machines. The installation went smooth, as it’s a simple and straightforward process. The actual product itself is user friendly and works great. I highly recommend it. I was hesitant at first because I tried in the past to use other brand’s aftermarket ports - with NO success. They were complicated and ended up not being used at all. These from SFA are awesome!

Awesome Company! When I called, they helped me pick the right device based on my machine. They know their stuff! Their support team walked me through the install and set-up process, and helped me troubleshoot through everything. I had fought my machine for 2 weeks trying to get it to connect to my computer. I had a program running in less than 24 hours after receiving my device. I would highly recomend!!
