Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 500, brand new and sealed in its retail box. The box describes it as a PD 27W Type-C to Lightning Fast Data Cable, so the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable both charges and syncs. One end is USB-C, the small oval plug found on current wall adapters; the other is Lightning, the plug on iPhone models up to the 14 series, older iPads and many AirPods cases. The cord is braided black, and the grey aluminium Lightning plug is marked PD 27W. Collect it from our shop on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for iPhone users who still carry a Lightning handset, the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable fixes a common mismatch. Many people now own a USB-C PD adapter, yet the cable that came with an older iPhone has a rectangular USB-A end, or has frayed at the neck. PD stands for Power Delivery, the USB-C fast-charging standard iPhones accept. When KPLC restores power for only an hour, a PD cable and adapter put far more charge into the battery than an old 5W cube. Accountants, journalists and NGO field staff who live on WhatsApp, email and M-Pesa all day feel that difference.
Unlike the loose, unboxed Lightning cables hawked around Luthuli Avenue and River Road, the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable from Mascom International arrives sealed, with a model code on the box and a 6-month warranty behind it. Buyers throughout Kenya report that braided cords last noticeably longer than the plain white rubber ones they keep replacing. The aluminium plug housings also feel solid in the hand. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to plug the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable into your own iPhone before paying, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable
What is the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable price in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable sells for KSh 500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That covers the braided cable, a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. It does not include a wall adapter. If you need one, the Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger, a 20W USB-C PD adapter, also costs KSh 500, so the full fast-charging pair comes to KSh 1,000 in one visit.
Will the Amaya ACD-CL62 fast-charge my iPhone?
The Amaya ACD-CL62 fast-charges Lightning iPhones that support fast charging when you plug it into a USB-C PD adapter. Its PD 27W rating is the most the cable can carry; the actual speed depends on the adapter and the iPhone itself. A 20W PD adapter such as the Amaya ACW-U54S is plenty for an iPhone. A bigger adapter is safe to use, because the phone only draws what it accepts. Plugged into an old USB-A cube, it will not fit at all.
How does the Amaya ACD-CL62 compare with the Amaya ACD-CL77 Type-C to Lightning Cable?
Both cables carry 27W from a USB-C adapter to a Lightning iPhone, so charging speed is the same. The Amaya ACD-CL77 costs KSh 220 and uses a plain black PVC cord with a confirmed 1-metre length. The Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable costs KSh 500 and adds a braided cord with grey aluminium plugs. Choose the ACD-CL77 for a spare at the office or in the car. Choose the ACD-CL62 if your cables keep fraying at the plug.
Why does my iPhone charge badly on dusty days, and can the Amaya ACD-CL62 help?
Dust and pocket lint packed into the Lightning port are a common reason an iPhone charges slowly or loses connection, especially after boda boda rides on dusty Kenyan roads. Switch the phone off and clear the port gently with a wooden toothpick, never a metal pin. After that, the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable gives a firm, clean contact. If charging still drops in and out, bring the phone to Mascom International and we will test the port with you.
Which Apple devices work with the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable?
The Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable works with any Apple device that has a Lightning port. That includes iPhone 5 through the iPhone 14 series, older iPad and iPad mini models with a Lightning port, and AirPods charging cases that use Lightning. The other end needs a USB-C port, found on PD wall adapters, newer power banks and recent laptops. iPhone 15 and later use USB-C instead, so those owners need the Amaya ACD-CC62 Type-C to Type-C Cable.
Can I sync or back up my iPhone with the Amaya ACD-CL62?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-CL62 carries data as well as power, as its Fast Data Cable label states. Plug the USB-C end into a laptop or desktop with a USB-C port, and you can copy photos, back up the phone or update it through Finder or iTunes. Strathmore and USIU students often clear full iPhones onto laptops before exams; this cable does that job. A computer with only USB-A ports needs a USB to Lightning cable instead.
Is the Amaya ACD-CL62 worth KSh 500 over a cheaper Lightning cable?
The Amaya ACD-CL62 is worth the extra money if you value fast charging and a cord that lasts. A USB to Lightning cable plugged into an old cube charges an iPhone slowly, whereas this PD cable lets the phone take its full fast-charging rate. The braided cover and metal plug housings resist the bending that splits rubber cables at the neck. If you only need slow overnight charging from a USB-A cube, the Amaya ACD-L77 USB to Lightning Cable at KSh 110 is enough.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACD-CL62 Type-C to Lightning Cable if you use a Lightning iPhone, iPad or AirPods case and own, or plan to buy, a USB-C PD adapter. Skip it if your phone is an iPhone 15 or newer, or any Android phone, since those use USB-C at both ends. Skip it too if you need a guaranteed length printed on the box; the Amaya ACD-337CL Type-C to Lightning Cable is a braided 1-metre option at KSh 340.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging
- PD 27W rating — PD means USB Power Delivery, the fast-charging standard Lightning iPhones accept from USB-C adapters.
- Fast charging with a PD adapter — far quicker refills than an old 5W cube, useful when power returns only briefly.
- Data transfer — labelled a fast data cable, so it backs up, syncs and copies photos between iPhone and computer.
- Safe with bigger adapters — a 45W or larger USB-C charger works, because the iPhone only draws the power it accepts.
- Rating marked on the plug — the PD 27W print on the Lightning end identifies the cable quickly in a drawer.
- One lead for power and backups — the same cable charges the iPhone at night and connects it to a laptop for photo transfers.
Compatibility
- Lightning iPhones — iPhone 5 through the iPhone 14 series charge and sync through the Lightning end.
- Older iPads and iPad mini models — any model with a Lightning port charges and connects to a computer with it.
- AirPods with a Lightning case — tops up the charging case from the same adapter as your phone.
- USB-C power source required — works with USB-C wall adapters, power banks with a USB-C output, and laptops with USB-C ports.
- Not for iPhone 15 or later — those models use USB-C, so they need a Type-C to Type-C cable instead.
- Not for USB-A adapters — the classic rectangular port needs a USB to Lightning cable.
- Car and desk use — any USB-C car charger or USB-C hub port that supplies power can run the cable on the move.
Build and Durability
- Braided black cord — a woven cover that resists kinks and the splitting common where rubber cables meet the plug.
- Grey aluminium plug housings — metal shells at both ends that handle repeated plugging better than soft plastic.
- Dark colour scheme — the black cord and grey plugs hide marks and grime from bags and car consoles.
- Length — not printed legibly on the retail box, so ask us on WhatsApp and we will measure the unit for you.
- Care tip — unplug by gripping the aluminium housing rather than tugging the cord, and avoid tight folds when storing it.
- Firm Lightning fit — the plug slides into the port either way up, so there is no fumbling for the right side in the dark.
Inclusions and Support
- One Amaya ACD-CL62 cable — supplied brand new in its sealed retail box with the model code on it.
- No wall adapter included — pair it with a USB-C PD adapter you own or buy one at the shop.
- Matching adapter in stock — the Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger gives 20W from a USB-C port for KSh 500.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Test it in store — we plug it into your iPhone at the counter so you see it charging first, then check that it syncs with a laptop if you need data use.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — order by WhatsApp and pay when the box reaches you, anywhere in Kenya.
