Mascom International stocks the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable at KSh 460, brand new and sealed in Amaya's retail box. The Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable runs from a classic USB-A charger to any phone with a USB-C port, carries up to 3A of current, measures one metre and transfers data at 480Mbps. Its standout feature is a small digital screen built into the USB-C plug that lights up to show power flowing while the phone charges. The cord is braided black with metal plug housings. Amaya is a Chinese accessories brand, and you can see this cable at our Kimathi Street shop in Nairobi CBD.
Designed for Android users who want proof that their phone is actually charging, the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable answers a common Kenyan frustration. You plug in at a hostel socket, a matatu USB port or a friend's charger, and an hour later the battery has barely moved. The screen on the plug shows charging in action, so a dead port or loose socket is obvious within seconds. USB-A is the rectangular plug found on most older chargers, cars and computers; USB-C is the small oval reversible plug on most Android phones, iPhone 15 and later, and many tablets.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell display cables loose and untested, Mascom International hands over the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable sealed, with a receipt and a 6-month warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the screen alone has saved them from blaming a good phone for a faulty socket. The braided cord, zinc-alloy port housing and pull-resistant build are aimed at people who charge several times a day. Test it on your own phone at the Old Mutual Building counter, or order the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable
What is the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable price in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable sells for KSh 460, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. You get the one-metre braided cable with its built-in digital display, plus a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. No charger is included. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you inspect the cable before paying. Against the plain Amaya ACD-C77 USB to Type-C Cable at KSh 100, the extra KSh 360 buys the screen, braided cord and metal housings.
What does the digital display on the Amaya ACD-338C do?
The digital display on the Amaya ACD-338C is a small screen in the USB-C plug that lights up to show power flowing into your phone. Amaya's box describes it as a 100% digital display. In daily use it answers one question at a glance: is this charger, socket or port actually delivering power? If the screen stays dark, the problem is the power source, not your phone. That saves you from swapping chargers blindly or paying a repair kiosk to check a phone that works.
Which phones work with the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable?
The Amaya ACD-338C works with any phone, tablet or gadget that charges through a USB-C port. That covers most current Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi, Oppo and Vivo phones, as well as iPhone 15 and later. Wireless earbud cases, Bluetooth speakers and power banks with USB-C inputs also fit. The other end is USB-A, so it plugs into classic wall chargers, car sockets, laptops and desktop computers. It will not fit older Micro-USB phones or Lightning iPhones.
How does the Amaya ACD-338C compare with the Amaya ACD-C77 and ACD-C58?
The Amaya ACD-338C costs KSh 460, the Amaya ACD-C77 costs KSh 100, and the Amaya ACD-C58 costs KSh 360, all USB to Type-C and 1 metre long. The ACD-C77 is a plain black PVC cable rated 3A, the same current rating as the ACD-338C, but with no screen or braid. The ACD-C58 is braided and rated 100W, but has no display. Pick the ACD-C77 for a cheap spare, the ACD-C58 for a higher power rating, and the ACD-338C if seeing charging matters.
Is the Amaya ACD-338C useful in matatus, cars and shared sockets?
The Amaya ACD-338C is especially useful wherever you charge from a socket you do not control, such as matatu USB ports, car chargers and shared hostel extension boards. The screen confirms within seconds whether that port is supplying power. Many matatu ports on Thika Road and Mombasa Road routes look fine but deliver nothing. During KPLC outages, it also shows whether a power bank still has charge to give. For an M-Pesa agent or boda boda rider, a phone that must stay on, that certainty matters.
Does 3A mean the Amaya ACD-338C fast-charges every phone?
No, 3A is the most current the Amaya ACD-338C can carry, not the speed every phone will reach. Amps measure the flow of current; more amps can mean faster charging when the charger and phone both support it. A 2A charger will still charge at 2A through this cable, and each phone sets its own limit. For the quickest results, pair it with a USB-A wall charger rated 3A or above. The display then lets you confirm power is flowing.
Can the Amaya ACD-338C transfer files between my phone and a computer?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-338C carries data at 480Mbps, which is USB 2.0 speed, enough to copy photos, documents and music between an Android phone and a computer. Plug the USB-A end into a laptop or desktop, then choose File Transfer on the phone's notification. Phone-repair kiosks along Tom Mboya Street and cyber cafés near the University of Nairobi use this kind of connection daily. Large video folders take longer than over a USB 3 cable, but everyday files move quickly.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-338C USB to Type-C Cable, and who should skip it?
The Amaya ACD-338C suits Android and iPhone 15 users who charge from many different sockets and want to see charging happen, from Strathmore students to field sales staff in Industrial Area. Skip it if your charger has only USB-C ports; the Amaya ACD-CC77 Type-C to Type-C Cable at KSh 130 fits that setup. Owners of older Micro-USB phones should take the Amaya ACD-M82 USB to Micro-USB Cable at KSh 120. Lightning iPhone owners need the Amaya ACD-L77 instead.
