Product Information

Full details

The Lindy USB Type A Port Blocker is a physical security tool for system administrators seeking to prevent unauthorized USB access on shared or sensitive systems. Its key benefit is providing a low-cost, immediate physical barrier against data theft, malware injection, and accidental use of USB ports, with no software or training required. A key caveat is that each color-coded key only works with its corresponding color blocker, necessitating careful management in larger deployments.

FAQs

How do I install a Lindy USB Port Blocker?

Simply align the blocker with the USB Type-A port and press firmly until it clicks into place. No tools or software are required.

Can I use any key to remove the blocker?

No, each blocker key is color-specific and will only work with blockers of the same color. This ensures controlled access.

What types of USB ports are compatible?

These blockers are designed specifically for USB Type-A ports.

What material are the blockers made of?

The blockers are made from durable Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic.

Can these blockers be used with software security measures?

Yes, they are designed to complement digital security measures by adding a physical layer of protection.

What happens if I lose my key?

You will need to order a replacement key that matches the color of the blocker. Spare keys and additional blocker packs can be purchased.

How many blockers come in a pack?

Each pack contains one piece (1 pc) of the port blocker key.

Troubleshooting

Blocker is difficult to insert

Ensure the blocker is properly aligned with the USB Type-A port and not obstructed by debris. Apply firm, even pressure.

Key does not remove the blocker

Verify that the key is the correct color to match the blocker. Ensure the key is fully inserted and the release mechanism is being slid correctly.

Blocker does not sit flush

Check the USB port for any foreign objects or damage. Ensure you are using a standard USB Type-A port, as some non-standard or recessed ports may not be compatible.

Lost or misplaced key

Order a replacement key of the matching color. Additional blocker packs and spare keys are available from Lindy.
