FAQs
What does a USB data blocker do?
A USB data blocker, like the Lindy USB 3.2 Type C to C Data Blocker, prevents any data from being transferred between your device and the charging port. It only allows electrical power to pass through, which enhances security when charging at public stations.
Can I use this to sync my phone with a computer?
No, this data blocker is specifically designed to block data transfer. It will only allow charging and cannot be used for syncing files or data between your device and a computer.
How much power can this adapter handle?
The Lindy USB 3.2 Type C to C Data Blocker supports Power Delivery up to 100W, allowing for fast charging of compatible devices.
Is it compatible with all USB-C devices?
Yes, it is compatible with any USB Type-C device that requires charging. It functions as an intermediary between the charging port and your device's USB-C cable.
What is the difference between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and other USB versions?
USB 3.2 Gen 1, also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.0, provides a maximum theoretical data transfer speed of 5Gbps. While this adapter blocks data, its support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 ensures it aligns with modern charging standards.
How does it protect my data?
It works by physically disconnecting the data pins within the USB-C connection. This means no information can be sent to or from your device through the charging port, preventing unauthorized access or data theft.
What is the warranty period?
The Lindy USB 3.2 Type C to C Data Blocker comes with a 2-year warranty period.
Troubleshooting
Device is not charging
Ensure the data blocker is securely connected to both the power source and your USB-C cable. Verify that your USB-C cable is functional and that the power source is active and providing sufficient power. Check that the device itself is powered on.
Slow charging speed
While the adapter supports up to 100W, the actual charging speed depends on the power source (wall adapter, power bank, computer port) and the charging capabilities of your device. Use a high-wattage power adapter and a compatible USB-C cable for optimal charging speeds.
Data transfer is still occurring
This product is designed to block data transfer. If you suspect data transfer is still occurring, try the adapter with a different charging port and cable. Ensure the adapter is fully seated in the port. If the issue persists, the adapter may be faulty.
