Stop hackers in their tracks with JSAUX

The JSAUX 4-Pack is the type of lightweight tech accessory that’s convenient to carry almost anywhere. When in use, the adapters support PD 3.0 and 2.0 quick charge capabilities, delivering up to 240 watts of rapid charging with a compatible device and wall charger. There’s no toggle switch: just connect your device and insert the adapter into a public USB port.

Boasting a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars — based on 1,100 reviews — Amazon customers have lauded the value and efficiency of the JSAUX 4-Pack. One reviewer highlighted the robust metal build of the adapters and the “comfortably tight” fit when attaching to ports and devices. Another user even managed to connect an old set of wired headphones, needing multiple adapters, and the JSAUX worked flawlessly.

Regarding data blocking, the simple set-it-and-forget-it design of the JSAUX bundle and other USB data blockers puts the testing in your hands. After unpacking, we strongly advise connecting a phone or tablet to one of the adapters and subsequently plugging that adapter into a computer. If the PC does not recognize your mobile device, the data blocker is functioning as intended.
