USB Data Blockers - FAQ
-
A USB data blocker adaptor works by creating a physical barrier between your device and the USB port you're plugging into. Here's how they work:
- Targeted Functionality: The blocker focuses on the specific pins within a USB port that are dedicated to data transfer. These are typically designated as D+ and D-.
- Selective Blocking: The blocker's circuitry is designed to disable these data transfer pins entirely. This prevents any exchange of information between your device and the USB port.
- Power Delivery Unaffected: While data transfer is blocked, the blocker allows the power (V+ and GND pins) to flow freely. This ensures your device receives the necessary charge to power up.
-
Our Pro type USB Data Blockers support common fast charging protocols like Quick Charge and Power Delivery. This ensures compatibility with various devices and fast charging speeds up to 50V/5A.
They are essentially small adapters with circuitry that blocks data transfer while allowing power to pass through. This process shouldn't interfere with the charging current, meaning your devices should charge at their intended speeds.
The slim USB Data Blocker 2.0 is our entry level model, which, uses a different method where the data circuit is completely removed. This can slighly impact the charging speed, often resulting in slower charging times compared to direct connection, similar to charging from a standard computer USB port.

A USB data blocker primarily protects against two threats:
Data Theft: When you plug your device into a public USB port, there's a risk that malicious software on the computer connected to the port could try to steal your data. This could include sensitive information like photos, contacts, financial information, or even work documents. A data blocker acts as a barrier, preventing any data transfer from your device to the computer.
Malware Infection: Similarly, a compromised USB port could be used to install malware onto your device. This malware could then steal your data, track your activity, or even damage your device. A data blocker helps prevent this by stopping any malicious software from entering your device through the USB port.A USB data blocker primarily protects against two threats:
