The USB Type 'A' blockout devices shall work with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Type 'A' ports. There shall be two options available: a removable device and a permanent device. Each design shall block one USB Type 'A' port, keeping it secure and reducing the risk of viruses being loaded and unauthorized data being removed through the USB port. They shall be utilized in any data application, especially with computers, switches, and other hardware that use USB Type 'A' adapters. The permanent blockout device shall only be used if the port is never to be used again; there is no tool to release this device.
