Mascom International stocks the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable at KSh 5,000, brand new and sealed in Apple packaging. The Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable is 2 metres long, carries up to 240 watts of charging power, and has USB-C connectors on both ends. Its woven outer jacket resists tangling, and it moves data at USB 2 rates for syncing phones and tablets. Apple sells the power adapter separately, so you keep using the one you own. You can pick one up at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Designed for MacBook owners, accountants, university students and anyone whose wall socket sits far from the chair, the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable solves the short-cable problem. Many Nairobi apartments and offices in Upper Hill have one socket behind the sofa or desk, and a 1-metre cable leaves the laptop hanging off the edge. Two metres lets the charger stay on the wall while you work comfortably. Because the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable is rated well above any current Apple charger, it will not hold back a 140W adapter on a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unmarked white cables as Apple originals, Mascom International supplies sealed, genuine stock with a 6-month warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya report that fake USB-C cables fray at the neck within weeks and charge laptops at a crawl. The Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable avoids both problems, so it suits daily use on a heavy machine. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to test the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable on your own laptop and charger, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable
What is the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable for KSh 5,000, brand new and sealed, at our Nairobi CBD store. The price buys the genuine 2-metre Apple cable, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. No power adapter comes with it. Paired with the Apple 140W USB-C Power Adapter at KSh 15,500, the full charging set costs KSh 20,500, still well below the price of a replacement laptop battery.
Is the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable fast enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro?
Yes, the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable carries more power than any Apple laptop charger currently sends, so the cable never becomes the bottleneck. On a 16-inch MacBook Pro with a 140W adapter, it passes the full 140 watts through USB-C. Apple's quoted fast-charge time for that laptop applies to its MagSafe 3 cable, so expect similar but not guaranteed timing over USB-C. For a 14-inch MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, it simply passes whatever the adapter supplies.
Should I buy the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable or the Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable?
Buy the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable at KSh 5,000 if your main need is charging a laptop from a wall adapter. The Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable at KSh 12,800 moves data far faster, which matters for external displays, docks and fast SSDs, but it is built for data first. The 240W cable transfers files only at USB 2 rates. Video editors connecting a monitor or a fast drive should choose Thunderbolt; everyone else saves KSh 7,800 with the charging cable.
Does the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable work with Samsung phones and Windows laptops?
The Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable follows the USB-C standard, so it works with any device that charges through USB-C, not only Apple products. Samsung Galaxy phones, Android tablets and many HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops charge through it at the speed their own adapter provides. That makes it handy in shared offices where colleagues carry different brands. Charging speed always depends on the adapter and the device; the cable itself supports up to 240 watts.
How does the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable hold up to daily commuting in Kenya?
The woven jacket on the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable resists tangling and handles being coiled into a bag every day. That suits workers who carry a laptop on a matatu or boda boda between home and the office. Dust in Nairobi's dry months collects in USB-C connectors, so blow them clean now and then. Avoid tight bends at the connector necks and do not wrap the cable around a hot adapter. Simple care keeps it working well past the warranty period.
Can I use the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable with a UPS during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable connects the adapter to the laptop, so it works the same whether the adapter draws from mains, a UPS or a power bank. During KPLC outages, a laptop fed from a UPS keeps charging through this cable without change. For phones, pair it with a USB-C power bank on long trips between Nairobi and Kisumu. The cable carries no electronics that react to voltage changes, so surge protection belongs on the adapter side.
Who should buy the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable, and who should skip it?
The Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable suits MacBook Pro owners, people whose socket sits far from their workspace, and anyone replacing a frayed or lost laptop cable. Skip it if you mostly move large video files between a Mac and an external drive, since USB 2 rates are slow for that work; the Apple Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable fits better. Owners of a USB-C iPhone who only charge beside the bed may find a shorter, cheaper cable enough.
How do I know the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable from Mascom International is genuine?
Each Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable we sell is brand new and sealed in Apple retail packaging, never loose in a plastic bag. Copies sold around River Road and online often have a smooth rubber jacket instead of the woven finish, plus rough connector edges. At our Kimathi Street store you can open the box, check the build and test charging on your own laptop. Your receipt also backs the 6-month warranty if a manufacturing fault appears.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Power Rating
- Up to 240W power rating — supports the highest power level allowed by the USB Power Delivery 3.1 standard for USB-C charging.
- USB-C on both ends — plugs straight into modern adapters, laptops, tablets and phones without any converter or dongle in between.
- No limit on Apple chargers — every current Apple adapter, including the 140W model, sends its full power through this cable.
- USB 2 data transfer — syncs contacts, photos and backups between devices, though large video files move slowly at this rate.
- Charges and syncs together — one cable handles both power and data, so a phone can charge while it backs up to a laptop.
Compatibility and Use
- MacBook Pro and MacBook Air — charges every USB-C MacBook at the full speed its paired adapter provides, from 30W up to 140W.
- iPad and USB-C iPhone models — charges and syncs these devices; the 2-metre reach helps when using an iPad while it charges.
- Android phones and tablets — works with Samsung Galaxy, Pixel and other USB-C devices at the speed each one negotiates.
- Windows laptops with USB-C charging — many HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Dell Latitude models charge through it from a suitable adapter.
- Power banks and UPS setups — connects USB-C power banks to phones and laptops during outages or long road trips.
- Not a display cable — it does not carry video to an external monitor; use a Thunderbolt or USB-C video cable for that.
Build and Length
- 2-metre length — about twice the reach of a typical phone cable, enough to run from a floor socket to a desk.
- Woven outer jacket — a braided-style fabric finish that resists tangles and kinks better than smooth rubber cables.
- White finish — Apple's standard colour, matching Mac and iPhone chargers on a desk or bedside table.
- Reinforced USB-C connectors — firm, close-fitting plugs that seat securely in laptop and adapter ports without wobbling.
- Part number MYQT3ZM/A — the current Apple reference for this cable, useful when checking packaging against Apple's own listing.
Inclusions and Support
- Cable only — the box holds the Apple 240W USB-C Charge Cable with no power adapter included.
- Adapter sold separately — pair it with any USB-C power adapter; for a 16-inch MacBook Pro, choose a 140W adapter.
- Sealed Apple packaging — brand new retail stock, never opened, never used for display, and never refurbished.
- 6-month warranty — covers manufacturing defects under normal use, with claims handled at the Mascom International service desk.
- In-store testing — staff will connect the cable to your own laptop and charger before you pay, so you see it charging.
