StarTech USBSCHAC1M USB-A to USB-C Secure Charging Data Blocker Adapter Cable
Overview
The StarTech USBSCHAC1M is a 3.3-foot (1.0 m) USB-A to USB-C adapter cable designed to allow charging while preventing data transfer. This is critical in public charging stations, shared workstations, or any environment where connecting a device to an unknown USB port poses a security risk. By blocking data pins, it ensures your device only receives power, mitigating the threat of data theft or malware injection. The 22/32 AWG wire gauge supports up to 2.4A of power output, delivering efficient charging for compatible USB-C devices.
Compatibility
This adapter cable is compatible with any standard USB-A power source (e.g., wall chargers, power banks, computer USB ports) and any USB-C powered device requiring charging. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates of 480 Mbit/s, though the data lines are physically blocked by the adapter's design to prevent data flow. It functions as a passive adapter, requiring no drivers or software installation.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (4°F to 140°F). It is constructed with a TPE jacket and aluminum-mylar foil with braiding for shielding, offering durability. The compact dimensions (40.0 in L x 0.7 in W x 0.4 in H) make it portable. The wire gauge of 22/32 AWG ensures sufficient current carrying capacity for 5V DC at 2.4A (12W) charging.
