Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 360, brand new and sealed, with a 1200mm flat braided cord rated for up to 2.4A. Made by Amaya, a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, it carries orange zinc-alloy housings on both plugs: a classic USB-A plug on one end and Apple's Lightning plug on the other. The Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable is in stock at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can test it against your own iPhone before paying.
Built for iPhone owners across Kenya who still rely on an iPhone 11, 12, 13 or 14, the Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable handles the daily charge from a laptop, car port, power bank or wall adapter. The usual problem is a thin cable that splits at the neck after a few weeks in a matatu bag or a boda boda rider's pocket. This one answers with a woven outer jacket and metal housings that take the strain where cheap plugs crack. At 1.2 metres, it reaches from a hostel socket at JKUAT to the top bunk, or from a wall point to your desk chair.
Unlike the unbranded Lightning cables sold along Luthuli Avenue and River Road, the Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable arrives in a sealed retail box, and Mascom International backs it with a written warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they buy one for the office and one for the car, because a flat phone means missed calls and missed M-Pesa payments. Walk in to Kimathi Street, plug it into your iPhone at the counter, and watch it charge. Prefer delivery? We send the Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable anywhere in Kenya, and you pay only when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable
How much is the Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable costs KSh 360 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed in its retail box. That price covers the 1.2-metre braided cable, our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. It costs the same as the Amaya ACD-L30 with its silicone cord, and KSh 250 more than the basic Amaya ACD-L77 at KSh 110. The extra money pays for the braided jacket, the metal plug housings and 20 centimetres of extra reach.
Which iPhones, iPads and AirPods work with the Amaya ACD-L33?
The Amaya ACD-L33 fits every Apple device with a Lightning port, which covers iPhone 5 through iPhone 14, including the iPhone SE models. It also charges older iPads that use Lightning and AirPods charging cases with a Lightning port. It does not fit iPhone 15 or later, because those phones moved to USB-C; they need a Type-C cable such as the Amaya ACD-CC33. The other end is USB-A, the classic rectangular plug on most wall adapters, laptops, car chargers and power banks in Kenya.
Does the Amaya ACD-L33 fast-charge an iPhone?
The Amaya ACD-L33 carries up to 2.4A, which is the most current the cable can pass; your real charging speed depends on the adapter and the iPhone itself. Paired with a 2.4A USB-A wall charger, it gives a quicker, steadier charge than the small 1A cube that older iPhones shipped with. It cannot use Apple's USB-C Power Delivery fast charging, because that needs a USB-C plug at the charger end. For that, choose the Amaya ACD-365CL Type-C to Lightning Cable at KSh 260 with the 20W Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger.
How does the Amaya ACD-L33 compare with the Amaya ACD-L30 and ACD-L77?
The Amaya ACD-L33 differs from its two USB-A to Lightning siblings mainly in build and length. The Amaya ACD-L30 also carries 2.4A at KSh 360, but uses a soft silicone cord at 1 metre that coils neatly and resists tangles. The Amaya ACD-L77 costs KSh 110 with a 2A rating and a plain PVC cord at 1 metre. Pick the ACD-L33 if your cables usually die from pulling and bending, the ACD-L30 if you like a soft, flexible feel, and the ACD-L77 as a cheap spare.
Will the Amaya ACD-L33 survive matatu commutes, dust and heat in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-L33 is built to handle rough daily use, with a braided cord and zinc-alloy housings at both ends. Most cable failures we see at Mascom International start where the cord meets the plug, after months of folding into bags or yanking from sockets in a moving matatu. The flat braided cord resists kinks and fraying better than thin PVC, and metal housings do not crack the way soft plastic does. In dusty weather, wipe the Lightning plug and keep your iPhone port clean, since grit causes most loose connections.
Can I charge my iPhone from a power bank with the Amaya ACD-L33 during KPLC outages?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable plugs straight into the USB-A output found on nearly every power bank sold in Kenya. That makes it a handy partner when KPLC cuts the power for an evening and your iPhone still has to last until morning. If your power bank has a port marked 2.4A or higher, use that one for the quickest top-up. The 1.2-metre length also lets you keep using the phone in your hand while the power bank stays in your bag or on a table.
Can the Amaya ACD-L33 transfer photos and files to a computer?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-L33 carries data as well as power, so it links an iPhone or iPad to a Windows PC or Mac. You can move photos, back up the phone through iTunes or Finder, and install software updates with it. The "Ultra Speed" label on the box marks it as a full charge-and-data cable, unlike charge-only leads that a computer cannot see. Clearing space on a full iPhone before a holiday, or copying documents for a printing job, works with this one cable and no extra adapter.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-L33, and who should skip it?
The Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable suits anyone with an iPhone 5 to iPhone 14, an older iPad or Lightning AirPods who charges from USB-A ports and keeps wearing out cables. University students, delivery riders, sales teams and anyone who charges in a car will get the most from its tough build. Skip it if you own an iPhone 15 or newer, since those use USB-C; the Amaya ACD-CC33 fits them. Also skip it if you want fast charging from a USB-C PD adapter, where a Type-C to Lightning cable is the better pick.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- USB-A to Lightning connection — draws power from a standard USB-A port and delivers it to the Lightning port on your Apple device.
- Rated for up to 2.4A of current — the most the cable can carry; actual charging speed depends on your charger and your iPhone.
- Charging and data in one cable — powers the phone while syncing photos, music and backups with a laptop or desktop computer.
- "Ultra Speed" marking on the box — Amaya's label for a cable wired for both charging current and data, not a charge-only lead.
- Works with any USB-A power source — wall adapters, laptops, car chargers, power banks and desktop computers all accept the plug.
- No extra adapter needed — plugs straight into the rectangular USB-A ports that most homes and offices already have on their chargers.
Compatibility
- iPhone 5 through iPhone 14 — every iPhone with a Lightning port, including the iPhone SE models, charges and syncs with it.
- Lightning-port iPads — older iPad, iPad Air and iPad mini models with Lightning work; check the port shape before you buy.
- AirPods with Lightning charging cases — tops up the earbud case overnight from the same charger you use for your phone.
- Not for iPhone 15 or later — those models use USB-C, so they need a Type-C cable instead of this one.
- USB-A plug explained — the classic flat rectangular plug that goes in one way up, found on most chargers and older laptops.
- Lightning plug explained — Apple's small flat plug that goes in either way up, used from iPhone 5 to iPhone 14.
Build and Durability
- 1200mm length — 1.2 metres, enough to reach from a wall socket to a bed, sofa or desk chair without stretching.
- Flat braided cord — a woven outer jacket that resists tangles, kinks and fraying far better than a thin rubber sleeve.
- Zinc-alloy plug housings — metal casings on both ends that protect the joint where cheaper cables usually split and fail.
- Orange housings on a black cord — easy to spot inside a bag, and hard for colleagues to mistake for their own cable.
- Flat profile — lies neatly on a desk and folds into a pocket or bag without twisting itself into knots.
- Brand new and sealed — supplied in Amaya's retail box, so you know nobody has used or opened it before you.
Inclusions
- One Amaya ACD-L33 USB to Lightning Cable — the cable is the only item inside the retail box.
- Sealed Amaya retail box — packaging that shows the cable is new, with the specifications printed on the front.
- No wall adapter included — use a USB-A charger you already own, or buy a compatible Amaya charger at Mascom International.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — check the sealed box when it reaches you, then pay, wherever you are in Kenya.
