FAQs

Can this adapter be used for data transfer?

No, this adapter is specifically designed for power delivery only. It blocks all data transfer to ensure the security of your connected device.

What devices are compatible with this adapter?

It is compatible with any device that can be charged via a USB connection, provided you use a standard USB-A charging cable.

Why does it have bright red connectors?

The bright red connectors are a visual indicator to clearly identify these as 'safe connections' intended only for charging, distinguishing them from standard USB cables that may also transfer data.

Can I use this to charge my laptop?

This adapter is primarily designed for smaller portable devices like phones and MP3 players. While it will pass charging power, it may not support the higher wattage required for rapid laptop charging.

What is the benefit of a power-only adapter?

The main benefit is enhanced security. It prevents potential data theft, malware injection, or unauthorized access to your device's contents when charging from public or untrusted USB ports.

How durable is the cable?

The cable features a durable PVC jacket and cable strain relief to protect against wear and tear, and allow for bending without breaking.

Troubleshooting

Device is not charging

Ensure the USB-A male connector is fully inserted into the power source and the device's charging cable is securely plugged into the female adapter port. Try a different USB power source.

Device shows 'accessory not supported'

This adapter is for power-only and does not facilitate data transfer. If your device requires a data connection for charging (rare), this adapter will not work. Ensure you are using a compatible charging cable.

Adapter feels loose

Check that both the USB-A male connector and the device charging cable's connector are clean and free from debris. Gently ensure they are fully seated.
