PortaPow 3rd Gen USB-C to USB-A Data Blocker

PortaPow 3rd Gen USB-C to USB-A Data Blocker

• Converts a USB-C socket to USB-A, allowing you to use your existing cables with newer sockets found on laptops and chargers
• Physically blocks data transfer / syncing, so you can charge safely with no risk of hacking or viruses being transferred or breaking office IT policy.
• PortaPow's SmartCharge chip automatically switches between Apple, Android and Samsung standards to provide the highest charging speed possible from your computer or USB charger.

<p>This converter changes the newer and smaller USB-C socket to a USB-A one. Simply plug your USB cable into one end, and the other end into a USB-C socket. Devices such as Blackberrys or the PS Vita do not charge from many USB chargers, this fixes that. <p> SmartCharge Apple, Samsung, and other Android devices use three different specs for high speed charging so you will find many chargers will charge one type of device at high speed but not the other. Some chargers now have a built in chip to automatically switch between the standards. This Smart Charger adds this functionality to any USB charger - use one capable of at least 2 Amps (10 Watts) for best results. <p> <b>Block Data</b> Charging from a computer would normally mean a popup appearing on your screen, slow charging, and the risk of viruses/data hacking if charging from an unknown socket. This adaptor solves all of these issues. <p> This adaptor will not increase charging speed if - <p> 1) Your device is already charging at the max speed it supports (usually the same as the original charger) <p> 2) Slow charging is because of a low quality USB Cable - use a high quality cable such as the PortaPow 20AWG range. <p> 3) Slow charging is because of an under powered / low quality USB socket. <p> Qualcomm Quick Charge and similar standards which use a higher voltage are not supported since they require data transfer, if your device uses this standard then this adaptor will allow faster charging from a PC than without the adaptor but for the fastest charging use a Qualcomm charger.
