Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 140, a 1-metre, 3A charge-and-data lead in white with orange collars, brand new and sealed in its FastLine retail box. One end carries USB-A, the classic rectangular plug found on most wall chargers, power banks and laptops. The other end carries USB-C, the small oval reversible plug used by most Android phones, iPhone 15 and later, iPads and many laptops. The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable is in stock at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, ready to test before you pay.
Built for university students, sales teams, boda boda riders and office staff across Kenya, this cable fixes a familiar problem: a frayed cord that only charges when held at an angle. Cables carried loose in a matatu bag or a jacket pocket take a beating, and a failing one can leave your M-Pesa phone dead by evening. The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable replaces that cord for less than the price of a plate of chips in town. Its 3A rating covers the standard and fast USB-A charging that most Android phones sold in Kenya use.
Where many stalls along Luthuli Avenue and River Road sell unbranded cables that give up within weeks, Mascom International sells sealed Amaya stock with a written warranty and a counter you can come back to. Customers across Nairobi tell us they buy the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable in pairs, one for the bedside and one for the office desk or power bank. The white cord and orange collars make the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable easy to find in a crowded bag or a shared hostel room.

Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable
How much is the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable costs KSh 140, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the 1-metre cable in its retail box, a 6-month Mascom warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. No charger comes in the box. If your adapter has a USB-C port instead of a USB-A port, the matching Amaya ACD-CC82 Type-C to Type-C Cable costs KSh 180, which is KSh 40 more.
Should I buy the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable or the Amaya ACD-CC82 Type-C to Type-C Cable?
Pick the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable when your charger, power bank or laptop has the classic rectangular USB-A port. Pick the Amaya ACD-CC82 Type-C to Type-C Cable, rated 60W, when your adapter has a USB-C port, such as the Amaya ACW-U54S 20W PD charger. Both are 1 metre long, white and part of the same FastLine series. USB-C Power Delivery fast charging, used by many newer Samsung phones and iPhone 15 and later, needs the ACD-CC82, while the ACD-C82 suits the USB-A chargers most homes already own.
Will the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable fast-charge my phone?
The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable carries up to 3A, enough for the standard and fast USB-A charging most budget and midrange Android phones use. That 3A figure is the most current the cable can carry, not a promise of speed: the charger and the phone decide how fast power actually flows. A 2A adapter will still charge at 2A through it. For the quickest results on a newer phone, pair a USB-C PD adapter with a Type-C to Type-C cable instead.
Which phones and devices work with the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable?
The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable works with any device that has a USB-C port: most Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Redmi and Vivo phones, iPhone 15 and later, recent iPads, earbud cases and many Bluetooth speakers. It does not fit Lightning devices such as iPhone 5 to iPhone 14, or older budget phones with a Micro-USB port. For those, Mascom International stocks the Amaya ACD-L82 USB to Lightning Cable at KSh 180 and the Amaya ACD-M82 USB to Micro-USB Cable at KSh 120.
How does the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable cope with KPLC power cuts and daily commuting?
The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable is a practical lead for topping up from a power bank when KPLC cuts the lights in Kilimani or Kisumu. Most power banks sold in Nairobi still have a USB-A output, so this cable plugs straight in. At 1 metre it reaches from a wall socket to a desk or bed without trailing across the floor, yet coils small enough for a matatu bag. Coil it loosely rather than wrapping it tight around the charger, which strains the collars over time.
How is the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable different from the Amaya ACD-C77 USB to Type-C Cable?
The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable and the Amaya ACD-C77 USB to Type-C Cable share a 3A rating, a 1-metre length and USB-A to USB-C plugs from the FastLine series. The difference is colour and price: the ACD-C82 is white with orange collars at KSh 140, while the ACD-C77 is black at KSh 100. Pick the black ACD-C77 for the lowest outlay or a cord that hides marks. Pick the white ACD-C82 for a cable that stands out in a bag, drawer or shared desk.
How do I know the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable I buy is genuine?
Every Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable at Mascom International arrives brand new in its sealed FastLine retail box. Many loose cables sold by hawkers downtown copy popular designs but cut corners on wiring, so they charge slowly or run warm. At our Kimathi Street shop you can open the box, plug the cable into your own phone and watch it charge before paying. You also leave with a receipt and a 6-month warranty, which a street stall cannot give you.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable if you own a USB-C phone plus a USB-A charger, power bank or laptop port, and you want a cheap, clearly marked spare. Students in JKUAT hostels and Upper Hill offices that share chargers get good use from it. Skip it if your adapter only has USB-C ports or your phone supports high-wattage Power Delivery; the Amaya ACD-CC82 Type-C to Type-C Cable fits you better. If cords wear out fast in your hands, a braided Amaya ACD-C58 USB to Type-C Cable is the tougher choice.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging
- 3A current rating — the most current this cable can carry; your charger and your phone decide the real charging speed you get.
- USB-A to USB-C layout — links the classic rectangular port on chargers and laptops to the small oval plug on modern phones.
- Charge and data in one cord — moves photos, music and documents between your phone and a laptop or a cyber café computer.
- Works with standard and fast USB-A chargers — accepts whatever current the adapter offers, up to the cable's 3A limit, without extra settings.
- Reversible USB-C end — the phone plug goes in either way up, so there is no fumbling in the dark during a power cut.
- FastLine series — Amaya's 1-metre PVC cable range, sold in black and in white, built around everyday charging and data use.
- Plug-and-charge use — no app, driver or setting is needed; plug it into the charger and phone and charging starts at once.
Compatibility
- Android phones with USB-C — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Itel, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Redmi and most current models sold in Kenyan shops today.
- iPhone 15 and later — charges and syncs from a USB-A adapter or computer, though not at the quickest speed these iPhones accept.
- Tablets with USB-C — tops up recent iPads, Samsung tablets and budget Android tablets from any USB-A wall charger or laptop port.
- USB-C accessories — earbud cases, Bluetooth speakers, game controllers, handheld fans and other gadgets with a USB-C charging socket.
- USB-A power sources — wall chargers, power banks, laptops, desktop computers, car chargers and the USB ports found on many TVs.
- Shared household use — one cable can serve every USB-C phone in a home, office or hostel room, whatever the brand.
- Not a fit — Lightning devices (iPhone 5 to iPhone 14, older iPads, AirPods) and Micro-USB phones need a different Amaya cable.
Build and Design
- 1-metre length — reaches a bedside table or desk from a wall socket without leaving loops of cord across the floor.
- White PVC cord — PVC is a flexible plastic jacket that wipes clean of dust and city grime with a dry cloth.
- Orange collars at both plugs — the sleeves where the cord meets each plug, coloured so the cable is easy to spot.
- Light, simple construction — a plain cord that coils small enough for a pocket, a handbag or a laptop sleeve pouch.
- Brand new and sealed — every unit leaves Mascom International in the original Amaya FastLine retail box, unopened until you buy it.
- Care tip — pull by the plug rather than the cord, and coil it loosely, to keep the collars and inner wiring healthy.
Inclusions and Support
- One Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable, 1 metre long, white with orange collars, in its FastLine retail box.
- No wall adapter in the box — use the USB-A charger you already own, or buy a compatible one separately at Mascom International.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Test before you pay — plug the cable into your own phone at the Kimathi Street counter and watch it charge.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties, so you pay only once the sealed cable is in your hands.
- Matching FastLine cables for other plugs — Lightning, Micro-USB and Type-C to Type-C versions sit on the same shelf at Mascom International.
Package Contents
The box holds one Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable, 1 metre long, white with orange collars, sealed in Amaya's FastLine retail packaging.

Most buyers already own a USB-A charger, but if yours has failed, compatible chargers are sold separately at Mascom International and our staff can test the pair together at the counter. Keep the box and your receipt for any warranty claim.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, such as a plug that stops charging under normal use.
