In the interest of reducing printed waste, we didn't put any blurb
about the data blockers in the swag bags. We got them from a new
supplier and by the time they got here we didn't see there was no info
until it was too late.

But yes, it is a data blocker, meaning it only enables the power pins
across the USB port.

Next time we'll at least put up a sign explaining it, cos we got quite
a few questions!

Great to see everyone last week, too! Another fun and informative time.


Cheers

Narelle

I always enjoy it, and feel lucky to be part of such an awesome community. I especially enjoyed the presentations from our NZ friends – they were very entertaining. And of course seeing Vint Cerf was a real treat!

It appears to be a USB A male and female connector with some unknown function in the middle. It could be a keylogger, simulated keyboard for pranks, a USB drive or wireless dongle plus hub combo, a very small USB extension cable, or any number of other things.
