Compatible with Apple, Samsung, and universal devices, it prevents juice jacking attacks by disabling data lines, making it ideal for safe charging from untrusted USB ports. Backed by a 2-year warranty, it’s a must-have for privacy-conscious professionals on the go. ## Description Product Description Following the success of our Data Block USB cables, Data Blocker USB Adaptor released in 2013 and the β€˜SmartCharge’ Data Blocker released in 2015, we've now released our latest update. The 3rd Gen PortaPow Data Blocker still connects to the end of your USB charging cable and allows you to charge your device safely with no risk of viruses / hacking, and incorporates our SmartCharge chip to send the correct charging signal for your device, which can even improve charging speed if your charger is sending the wrong signal. It still has the same compact size so it won't block neighboring sockets if your charger/computer has several side by side. Improvements include visible security, laser etching, and zero waste packaging. See below for more details. The blocker will not solve charging issues caused by a low quality or extra long cable, a low powered socket (eg some car sockets) or a device which requires a non-standard signal (eg some SatNavs / DashCams). In these cases please use a different charger or cable. Devices which charge using Qualcomm Quick Charge, Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge, Motorola TurboPower or similar standards require data transfer to be enabled and a compatible charger, and so will not charge at extra fast speeds from normal USB sockets or with a data blocker. Features Visible Security The two data wires have been physically removed from the USB-A connector. A laser cut window makes it easy to see there is no chance of data transfer. Laser Etching 'NO DATA' and 'PortaPow' have been laser etched into the USB-A connector for added assurance that you've received a genuine product. SmartCharge The PortaPow Data Blocker includes our SmartCharge chip which detects and sends the correct signal for your device (Apple, Universal or Samsung). This will prevent slowdown and may increase charging speed in some cases - read the reviews for testimonials. Compact Size Measuring just 18x11mm, its a similar size to a cable's USB connector so won't block neighboring sockets. Zero-Waste Packaging The bag the adaptor arrives in can be reused as a no-frills resealable case for the blocker and/or other small parts such as a USB-C to Lightning adaptor or a Lightning to headphone adaptor, The internal size is 60x50mm. Custom Branding Free custom branding and additional discounts on orders of 100+ pcs. Visit the PortaPow website for more details. Review: Great product for privacy - These are great for stopping a data connection with the computer you're connecting to, they're particularly handy with my iPhone 6s and Macbook pro because I have tethering set up, so if I plug the iPhone in without these my tethering connection is used. I've also used them in the office to connect to colleagues computers when I just wanted to charge my phone. I thought they would improve the charge speed of the iPhone when connected to a Macbook but they don't as it seems that Macbooks already supply the full power to charge a phone even when a data connection is active. I found this out by using another very handy product from PortaPow which is the PortaPow Dual USB V3 Power Monitor with SmartCharge - this lets you see how much power a USB device is consuming and as you can see from the attached photos, with a data connection established the power draw is the same as when using the data blocker (note that the power draw goes up and down slightly, hence the difference). But regardless, these are very handy and do the job well. They're also very sturdy. One note - I tried using this in my Audi S4 and it didn't like it, it kept constantly reconnecting and got very confused, so it seems it won't work in all places. Review: This item really does work. - I tested this item using an HTC phone cable that I bought in August 2011 to charge a Sony phone that I bought in June 2014. The tests were conducted using a USB 2.0 port on a desktop PC that was built in May 2009. I used a USB power monitor to test the recharge rate with and without the data blocker in place. The power monitor showed 4.73V from the USB 2.0 port regardless of whether or not the data blocker was being used. Without the data blocker the cable gave a recharge rate of 0.54A. I then added the data blocker inbetween the cable and the USB port and the reading went up to 0.73A, an increase of 0.19A. I can also confirm that with the data blocker in place my PC could no longer detect that my phone was plugged in. Conclusion: this item really works. It increases the recharge rate and prevents data from being transferred along the cable. ## Features - Attaches inbetween your USB cable and socket to physically block data transfer / syncing while charging. - Allows charging without any risk of hacking / uploading viruses, can charge from an office PC even if USB socket has been disabled without breaking IT policy. - PortaPow's SmartCharge chip automatically switches between Apple, Universal and Samsung standards to ensure compatibility with your device. - SmartCharge supports charging upto 2.4A so the blocker won't slowdown charging and can improve charging speed in some cases. - 2 year warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QRRZ2QM | | Best Sellers Rank | 7,068 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 932 in USB Cables | | Brand | PortaPow | | Brand Name | PortaPow | | Colour | Red | | Compatible Devices | Charging Adapter | | Compatible devices | Charging Adapter | | Connector Type | USB Type A | | Connector type | USB Type A | | Country of Origin | China | | Current Rating | 2.4 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 7,952 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00766897526329 | | Input Voltage | 240 Volts | | Item Dimensions | 9 x 6 x 1 centimetres | | Item Weight | 9 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 9 x 6 x 1 centimetres | | Manufacturer | PortaPow | | Manufacturer Part Number | PPSCA01 | | Model Number | PPSCA01 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | Protection against juice sockets when charging devices via untrusted USB ports | | Specific uses for product | Protection against juice sockets when charging devices via untrusted USB ports | | UPC | 766897526329 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Red - **Compatible devices:** Charging Adapter - **Connector type:** USB Type A - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 9 x 6 x 1 centimetres - **Specific uses for product:** Protection against juice sockets when charging devices via untrusted USB ports ## Images ![PortaPow 3rd Gen Data Blocker (Red) - Protect Against Juice Jacking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hFRhYly-L.jpg) ![PortaPow 3rd Gen Data Blocker (Red) - Protect Against Juice Jacking - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rn8ibOJzL.jpg) ![PortaPow 3rd Gen Data Blocker (Red) - Protect Against Juice Jacking - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51q86I+r0rL.jpg) ![PortaPow 3rd Gen Data Blocker (Red) - Protect Against Juice Jacking - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51iBB5T1rwL.jpg) ![PortaPow 3rd Gen Data Blocker (Red) - Protect Against Juice Jacking - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NY7Xaw+vL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this product support the QuickCharge system for 9v / 12v which is so popular now?** A: No, it can't. Quick charge works by the smartphone telling a suitable charger to increase it's output voltage above the 5V USB standard. As this device disconnects the data lines the the smartphone can't negotiate with the charger. **Q: I need to run my garmin sat nav via a usb.......new cars font always have a 12 volt point. Will this allow me to charge and use my sat nav.** A: This will not convert from a round 12V socket to a USB outlet. There are plenty of suitable chargers out there. I have a Garmin specific one that has an outlet for the SatNav and a second high capacity one especially for iPhones. There are loads of other options out there. Tip is to check how much space you have as some (like the the Garmin one I have) are quite tall and/or wide. **Q: My car doesn't allow me to charge my phone via usb and use bluetooth to play music at the same time. will this product allow me to do so?** A: This USB plug only provides a "power" connection, NOT "data" I use it with a Dashcam, which, if connected to data connections, will not video, only transfer video data to another device, similarly with an old Satnav, which when connected to the normal power/data USB, assumes connection to a computer, not a power supply. I works the same as if you plug into the "cigar lighter" socket. As I understand it, the mobile phone should connect to "Bluetooth" even when charging. **Q: Can i use this with my android phone** A: Yes, it plugs into the USB end. It only allows the charging circuit to be used. Blocks access to your phone through charging port. Ideal if using charging points in public places. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for privacy *by M***Y on 28 August 2018* These are great for stopping a data connection with the computer you're connecting to, they're particularly handy with my iPhone 6s and Macbook pro because I have tethering set up, so if I plug the iPhone in without these my tethering connection is used.
