The easiest way to protect yourself against "juice jacking" attacks is
to use your own cables and chargers. This is less of a hassle with
modern chargers that are small enough to fit in your pocket (25W
models). On the other hand, juice jacking is mostly theoretical; I don't
believe there have been any documented real-world cases. Of course,
it all depends on your personal threat model.

There are several products available, like

I believe those must have some active electronics to allow for Power
Delivery negotation while blocking all other data transfer.
