If your device has good software, it will only allow power unless you authorize a data connection.

    * Assuming there is no bug, zero-day, or other vulnerability on the current version of your fully updated device.

    Having a power-only cable removes that as a possibility.

    Still gotta worry about stuff that could send a ton of current to fry the ports too. USB condoms can help here too but your own power adapter is best.
