Product Description

Following the success of our Data Block USB cables launched in 2009, 1st Gen Data Blocker USB Adaptor released in 2013 and 2nd Gen ‘SmartCharge’ Data Blocker released in 2015, we've now launched our 3rd Gen range of models. Many alternatives claim to be 3rd or even 4th gen when they're similar to our 1st or 2nd gen and lacking the feature which truly sets our blocker apart - the fact you can see for yourself that it is physically blocking data.

PortaPow is a UK based company with all our products designed in-house.

PortaPow Has Wires Removed

The only data blocker you can see working

PortaPow has the only data blocker where the two wires which carry data have been physically removed, so you can be sure it is working. You can see this for yourself just by looking at the male USB-A connector.

Smart

SmartCharge

A basic data blocker will send a fixed charging signal, which may result in slower charging. The PortaPow Data Blocker includes our SmartCharge chip which detects and sends the correct signal for your device, compatible with Apple, Universal or Samsung standards. This will prevent slowdown and fix charging issues in some cases - read the reviews for testimonials.

Visible Security

Visible Security

The two data wires have been physically removed from the USB-A connector. You can easily see this through the unique security window cut into the metal.

PortaPow

Laser Etching

'NO DATA' and 'PortaPow' have been laser etched into the USB-A connector for added confidence you've received a genuine PortaPow product.

Laptop

Compact Size

Measuring just 43x18x11mm (1.7x0.7x0.4"), its a similar size to a cable's USB connector so won't block neighboring sockets. Uses 25% less plastic than previous models for a lower environmental impact.

Bag

Zero-waste Packaging

The two adaptors arrive in a single bag which can be reused as a no-frills resealable case for the blocker and/or other small parts. The internal size is 60x50mm.

Data Blockers Compared

The creator of the type of hacks that our products defend against has tested our product and many of our rivals. Search for "mg.lol data blocker teardown" to read the verdict.

USB-C or A

Which Data Blocker Do I Need?

Check the end of your cable that plugs into a charger (not the end which plugs into your device!) and match it to the image on the left, Most public chargers use a USB-A shape socket, so if your cable is also USB-A then you need our USB-A to A data blocker.

But if your cable is USB-C and you want to charge from a USB-A shape socket, then you need to also convert the shape to charge from public sockets. Our USB-A to C blocker does that.

There are now also many USB-C public chargers, if you'd like to charge from these then you need our USB-C to A blocker or our USB-C to C blocker depending on the shape of your cable's connector. See below for our full range.

    A MUST have when traveling!
    The bright red color is super useful to recognize right away those devices, and don't confuse them with other adapters. Also for the price you will get two of them, which is a bargain.In the hacking world we live in right now, people are using all kind of tricks to try stealing your data. Hiding some skimming devices inside available public charging USB plugs is definitely on the rise. Now I don't travel without those for a peace of mind, knowing that I will only get power and that no data will ever pass by those public plugs. Definitely a recommended purchase.

      Pros: I like the price and fact that the red makes these stand out. With my Garmin there has always been a problem when connecting to a car that the car rather than just giving power to the device would try to connect. This eliminates that problem. Now with rental cars I've switched to Google Navigation and I like that this isolates power only to your usb device, and that way my phone is safe from a USB Virus attack from a rental car. The peace of mind of being able to plug into any USB JACK and just get power only is priceless.

      CONS: These are easy to loose either to theft or just putting in a drawer and forgetting which one.

      Yes I'd buy these again, and just did as didn't want to spend time looking, Also I'd recommend them to friends. bdv

      I bought this for an overseas trip. I used this on the airplanes, airports, and hotels. So far it seems to do what it claims to do. I like the fact that this is affordable and it comes in a pair. Also comes with it a laynard that you insert into the pouch and tie that to your data cable for storing the plugs afterwards.

      One way I can verify this is to charge my iPhone on another Macbook (upon plugging in, iTunes did not see my phone). This is also great for charging my phone on a company laptop as well.

      I would like to see the next gen (4) version to be a little smaller. This one obviously created an additional extended length, which normally wouldn't be an issue. But when I'm sitting in a tight spot, like on the plane, it can easily be knocked out of place.

      With the rise of juice jacking, it’s essential to find something that blocks data transmission through charging cables. These are the perfect solution! They keep my personal data secure at airports, hotels, or any unfamiliar charging port. If you travel, you need these. I’ve already bought three packs and keep them in all my bags—just in case.

      I wish I knew about these devices sooner. I always set my cell phone to power only or would use a wireless charger where I would go but having this is another nice alternative to give you a USB charging connection without worrying on data being transmitted to your phone or have the phone transmit data to a receiving device.

      The data blocker works fantastic with samsung quick charging and is great to help assure you are not transmitting data by having the missing data pins on the port so you know it's impossible for it to transmit.

      The only recommendation I would give to the manufacturer for this would be to possibly have a tiny loop on the side where you can put a keyring on it to help keep it safe so you don't lose it easily but I wouldn't have a problem with it since it's bright red to grab your attention. Just something for thought that's all.

      This product did not work for the purpose for which it was purchased, However, it seems to work quite well for other uses. My application for it was to charge Apple devices in two Toyotas. The Toyotas disable the USB port when this is attempted.

      Details: What it does quite well is block data access while recharging Apple devices using the USB port on a laptop. It also works with USB chargers tested. What it was purchased for was to block data access while recharging in a car. We have two Toyotas, and each of the Toyotas disable the USB port when this is attempted. The charge indicator on the Apple devices does come on, but only for about 100 milliseconds. Then the port is disabled. If the Data Blocker device is removed, the port remains disabled. The automobile must be powered off and on to restore functionality. This was tested with an iPhone, and iPad, and an iPod on a Toyota Prius and a Toyota Sienna.

      The product is basically useful, but I reduced the star rating due to my inability to use it for the purpose for which it was purchased. I will not return the product because I expect it to still be useful for other applications.
