SmartChargeA 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 SecurityThe 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, no other data blocker has this. |
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. |

Compact SizeMeasuring 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. |
Zero-waste PackagingThe 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. |

Which Data Blocker Do I Need?
This depends on the shape of the cable you use to charge your device, and the shape of the socket you want to charge from. 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 just need our USB-A to A data blocker, which is the one on this page. This is the most common scenario.
But if your cable is USB-C, then you need to also convert the shape to charge from public sockets. Our USB-A to C blocker does that. See below for our full range.
