StarTech.com Secure Charging USB Data Blocker (USB-A Male to USB-A Female) - USB Adapter, Black

The StarTech USB data blocker adapter (USB-A male to USB-A female) turns a standard USB port into a charge-only connection. The adapter physically disconnects the data pins between the host and the connected device, preventing unauthorized data access when using untrusted power sources. This inline hardware ensures no data exchange occurs between the device and the socket.

The converter blocks data lines while maintaining steady power delivery to keep batteries charged. It supports a 5 V, 2.4 A output (maximum 12 W) for charging. The male and female connectors are compact, allowing them to fit into crowded port panels without blocking adjacent sockets. A durable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket protects the components from mechanical stress, while the black finish matches standard computer hardware.

• Prevents automated syncing: Stops connected equipment from launching software or data prompts when plugged in.
• Enterprise policy compliance: Helps IT administrators enforce secure hardware charging standards across corporate workspaces.
• Hardware-level protection: Relies on physical pin blocking and requires no driver installation or background software.
• Public space deployment: Protects electronics against potential vulnerabilities in high-traffic charging areas, such as airports, cafés, and hotels.
