Hey all, today we’re looking at this. This is a USB data blocker from JSAUX. We’ll open this up. Inside the package, we have two USB-A adapters and two USB-C adapters, as well as a safety manual.
First up, we’ll test the USB-C cable. We have my laptop, a smartphone, and a USB-C cable. It’s pretty simple — we just plug in the USB-C cable as per normal. To show you the cable is totally normal, we’ll just plug it in. Pull up the phone here, and you can see USB transfer is turned on. Now we can unplug this, plug in the blocker, and then plug in our USB-C cable. Sure enough, it says fast charge only. It’s as simple as that.
Now same deal here, but this is a USB-A cable, so we need to get rid of this one. Here we have a USB-C to A, and to be honest, you’ll probably see more of these out in the wild than USB-C ports around the place. We’ll plug that into my phone first — going to have to use an adapter. Same thing: we have USB transfer and charging. Now we’ll add the blocker to the mix. The blocker is plugged in, and sure enough, no more data transfer options. It’s just charging.
So that’s that. Thank you very much for watching — I hope you found this demonstration useful. If you’re interested in these, I’ll put a link to them in the description below. And as always, thanks again for watching. I’ll see you next time.
