Secure USB-A to USB-C Charge-Only Cable

This cable provides a physical data-blocking barrier between a USB-A power source and a USB-C device. It is intended for users who must charge smartphones, tablets, headphones or cameras in public or high-security environments without any risk of data exchange, malware transfer or unauthorised access to the host system.

No Physical Data Pins on USB-A Connector

The USB-A plug omits data contacts entirely, creating a hardware-enforced power-only link that prevents data theft, corruption and spyware transmission from the mobile device to the host computer or network. This design meets strict security policies in government, defence, corporate and educational settings where data connections are prohibited.

12W Maximum Output with 22AWG Power Conductors

Heavy-duty 22AWG (0.34 sqmm) copper lines deliver 5V at up to 2.4A (12W max) and an on-board chip negotiates the device's power requirements automatically. The 3ft (1m) TPE-jacketed cable with foil and braid shielding resists fraying and electrical interference, but the charge-only architecture means it cannot be used for file transfer, tethering, debugging or any host-device communication.

Questions about this item

How does the 12W maximum power delivery work when I plug this into a laptop USB-A port?

The cable supplies up to 5V at 2.4A, so a laptop port that can provide that current will charge a phone or tablet at the full 12W rate; if the port is limited to less current the charge speed drops accordingly.

Since the USB-A connector has no data pins, what charging standard does the cable actually use?

An on-board chip detects the connected device and negotiates the appropriate 5V level up to 2.4A without any data-line handshake, so it works with standard USB-A chargers and ports.

Will the 3 ft length and 22 AWG conductors fit behind a crowded desk or in a laptop bag?

The 36-inch black TPE jacket with Al/Mylar foil and braiding is flexible enough to route behind equipment and coils neatly into a bag or pocket.
