USB-C Data Blocker for Charge-Only Protection

This compact USB-C male-to-female adapter physically removes data pins so connected devices can only draw power. It is intended for anyone who charges phones, tablets or laptops at public stations and wants to eliminate the risk of juice-jacking or unwanted data access.

Practical Limits of the USB-C Interface

The blocker only functions when the entire chain from charger to device uses USB-C connectors end to end. Introducing a USB-A to USB-C cable breaks the Power Delivery negotiation and will result in slow charging or no charging at all.

240 W Power Delivery Rating Determines Suitability

The adapter passes up to 240 W of USB Power Delivery, so it supports high-wattage laptops as well as phones. If your charging scenario requires data transfer — such as tethering, debugging or file sync — this blocker will prevent it and is therefore the wrong part.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the straight or the 90° L-shaped blocker?

Choose the straight version when the port has clear space in front of it; choose the 90° L-shaped version when the socket sits in a tight corner or against a surface.

What does 240W PD mean for my laptop or phone?

It allows the full USB Power Delivery 240 W rate to pass through so a MacBook Pro, Galaxy S25 or other USB-C device charges at its maximum supported speed while data lines stay disconnected.

Does the blocker work with USB-A to USB-C cables?

No — the specifications state that a USB-A to USB-C cable may result in slow charging or no charging because the data pins required for negotiation are absent.
