Know before you buy
The JerkStopper features a male USB connector that plugs directly into an available USB port on your laptop or wall plate. Once inserted, it acts as a fixed anchor point to secure your cable.
The JerkStopper is designed to accommodate cables ranging from 3.5 mm to 8.5 mm in diameter. It is compatible with most standard USB and power cables within that size range.
Yes, because the device plugs into a USB port to create an anchor, that specific port will be occupied by the JerkStopper. It is best used in an adjacent port to the one your data or power cable is plugged into.
No, the JerkStopper is specifically engineered to mount into a standard USB port. It will not work on surfaces or devices that lack a compatible USB input.
The JerkStopper creates a loop of slack that absorbs the tension from the pull. This prevents the force from reaching the delicate connection point where your cable meets the port, effectively protecting your equipment from damage.
