Eaton U2BLOCK-A10-RD Tripp Lite USB A Port Blockers Red 10 Pack
The Eaton U2BLOCK-A10-RD Tripp Lite USB-A port blocker kit includes 10 red blockers designed to prevent unwanted USB devices from being connected to compatible USB-A ports. The blockers can be used in USB-A ports on computers, hubs, and wall chargers to restrict physical access to the port.
USB-A Port Access Control
The U2BLOCK-A10-RD is designed to block an empty USB-A port so an unauthorized or unwanted USB peripheral cannot be inserted. This can help restrict connections from devices such as thumb drives and other USB peripherals.
The blockers are intended for use with the Eaton Tripp Lite U2BLOCK-A-KEY security key. The key is required to lock and unlock the blockers and is sold separately.
10-Pack for Multiple USB Ports
This model includes 10 red USB-A port blockers, allowing multiple compatible USB-A ports to be blocked using the same separately purchased U2BLOCK-A-KEY security key.
The blockers are compatible with USB-A ports found on computers, USB hubs, and wall chargers.
Security and Device Protection
Blocking an unused USB-A port can help prevent unauthorized physical connections and reduce the possibility of an unwanted peripheral being connected to a protected computer or USB device. The manufacturer specifically describes the blockers as a way to help prevent unwanted devices from connecting and potentially uploading malware or copying private data.
