Baseus StarJoy 6-Port USB-C Hub is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 5,500, available at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The StarJoy hub turns a single USB-C port into six working connections three USB 3.0 ports rated up to 10Gbps, one HDMI port pushing 4K at 60Hz, one Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet socket, and one USB-C Power Delivery passthrough rated for 100W charging. Built into a 113-gram aluminum alloy shell with sandblasted anodized finish, the gray Baseus StarJoy hub matches the MacBook chassis and resists fingerprints under daily handling. Mascom International stocks the StarJoy ready for same-day pickup at Kimathi Street or pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.
Built for Kenya's mobile workforce software developers, accountants, journalists, university students, sales reps, and creative freelancers who run modern laptops with two or three USB-C ports and nothing else. The Baseus StarJoy 6-Port hub solves the daily Nairobi office problem of plugging a USB flash drive, a wired Ethernet cable from the office router, an external monitor over HDMI, and a charger into a MacBook Air or HP EliteBook that ships with only two Thunderbolt ports. Field staff working out of co-working spaces in Westlands and Kilimani use the StarJoy to run a second screen during client meetings while keeping the laptop battery topped up. The hub also bridges the printer-and-presentation gap for trainers and consultants moving between client offices across Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru.
Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya who stock generic no-name USB-C hubs that overheat and drop connections after three months, Mascom International carries genuine Baseus StarJoy units with verified port specifications and a 6-month warranty. Buyers across Kenya tell us they choose the StarJoy over cheap unbranded adapters because the aluminum housing dissipates heat better, the Gigabit Ethernet port actually negotiates 1000Mbps on Safaricom Home Fibre and Faiba lines, and the 100W PD passthrough charges 16-inch MacBook Pros without throttling. Visit Mascom International at Kimathi Street to test the StarJoy on your own laptop before purchase, or order through +254 708 852 521 for countrywide delivery.
Common Questions Buyers Ask About the Baseus StarJoy 6-Port USB-C Hub
What ports does theBaseus StarJoy 6-Port USB-C Hub include?
The Baseus StarJoy carries six total ports in one compact aluminum housing. You get three USB 3.0 Type-A ports (rated up to 10Gbps for fast file transfer with external SSDs), one HDMI port supporting 4K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, one RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port for wired internet at 1000Mbps, and one USB-C port handling Power Delivery passthrough up to 100W. The single USB-C male connector plugs into your laptop or tablet to make all six ports active.
How much power does the Baseus StarJoy USB-C Hub pass through to my laptop?
The StarJoy supports up to 100W Power Delivery passthrough, enough to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, Dell XPS 15, HP EliteBook 840, or any USB-C laptop at full speed. Plug your laptop's original USB-C charger into the StarJoy's PD port, and the hub routes power straight to the laptop while keeping the other five ports active. The PD-C port handles charging only and does not transfer data, so reserve a separate USB-A port for thumb drives.
Does the Baseus StarJoy support 4K video output to an external monitor?
Yes the HDMI port outputs 4K resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, suitable for productivity work, video editing previews, and presentations on 4K monitors and 4K TVs sold in Kenya. The hub mirrors or extends your laptop display through the HDMI cable. For office setups with 1080p or 1440p monitors, the StarJoy outputs at full panel refresh rates with no signal drops. Bring your laptop and monitor to our Kimathi Street store and test the connection before buying.
Will the Baseus StarJoy work with my MacBook, iPad Pro, or Windows laptop?
The StarJoy works with any device that carries a USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode that covers MacBook Air M1/M2/M3/M4, MacBook Pro 14 and 16-inch, iPad Pro 11 and 13-inch, iPad Air, Microsoft Surface Pro/Laptop, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, ASUS ZenBook, and most USB-C Android phones. The hub runs plug-and-play with no driver installation needed on macOS, Windows 10/11, iPadOS, ChromeOS, and Linux distributions.
How does the Baseus StarJoycompare to cheaper USB-C hubs sold in Nairobi shops?
The StarJoy uses an aluminum alloy housing that disperses heat far better than plastic-shell hubs, which keeps the controller chip cool during long video calls and 4K streaming sessions. Cheap unbranded hubs often advertise 4K at 60Hz but deliver only 30Hz in practice, drop the Ethernet connection during heavy downloads, and fail to negotiate full 100W charging. Baseus is a recognized brand with quality-controlled units, which is why Kenya's content creators report fewer connection drops and longer hub lifespans.
Can I run wired internet through the Baseus StarJoy on Safaricom Home Fibre?
Yes the RJ45 port handles full Gigabit speeds at 1000Mbps, enough for any Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, JTL Faiba, or Liquid Telecom plan currently sold in Kenya. Wired Ethernet through the StarJoy gives a more stable connection than Wi-Fi for video calls on Zoom and Google Meet, large file uploads to cloud storage, and online gaming. The hub auto-negotiates 10/100/1000Mbps so it works with older office routers and switches too.
What's included in the Baseus StarJoy retail box at Mascom International?
The StarJoy retail package includes the 6-Port USB-C hub itself in gray finish with a built-in USB-C male connector cable, plus a printed user manual and warranty card. The hub does not need a separate power adapter it draws operating power from your laptop's USB-C port. For 100W charging passthrough, use your laptop's existing USB-C charger plugged into the hub's PD port. No cables or accessories are sold separately for basic operation.
Is the Baseus StarJoy 6-Port USB-C Hub worth KSh 5,500 in Kenya's market?
For anyone running a modern USB-C laptop in Kenya, KSh 5,500 buys six functional ports including 4K HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet that's around KSh 916 per port for a single accessory that replaces buying separate dongles. Compared to the KSh 8,000 to KSh 12,000 typically charged for equivalent Anker, UGREEN, or Hyper hubs at Nairobi specialty shops, the Baseus StarJoy lands in the value bracket while keeping aluminum construction and verified speed ratings. Mascom International ships the StarJoy with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
How long does the Baseus StarJoy USB-C Hub last under daily office use?
Users consistently report the StarJoy holding up well past two years of daily plug-cycle use in Kenyan offices, with the aluminum chassis showing no warping and the connector seating firmly. The lack of moving parts and absence of an internal battery means there is nothing to wear out under normal use. Heat management through the metal shell keeps the controller chip within safe temperatures during extended 4K monitor mirroring.
Detailed Hardware Specifications
Core Function and Port Layout
The Baseus StarJoy carries a single USB-C male connector on a short integrated cable that plugs into your laptop or USB-C device, plus six output ports arranged across the aluminum body. Port count breakdown: 3x USB 3.0 Type-A ports each rated up to 10Gbps data transfer, 1x HDMI port outputting 4K UHD at 60Hz refresh rate (3840x2160 resolution), 1x RJ45 Ethernet port handling 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation, and 1x USB-C female port carrying Power Delivery up to 100W (charging only, no data transfer through this port). All six ports remain simultaneously active connect a flash drive, external SSD, wired mouse, monitor, Ethernet cable, and laptop charger at the same time without switching between them.
Compatibility and Device Support
The StarJoy operates as a plug-and-play accessory with no driver installation required on macOS 10.15 and later, Windows 10, Windows 11, iPadOS 14 and later, ChromeOS, and Ubuntu Linux. Verified working with Apple MacBook Pro 14/16-inch (M1/M2/M3/M4), MacBook Air 13/15-inch (M1/M2/M3/M4), iPad Pro M2/M4, iPad Air M2, Mac mini M2/M4, Microsoft Surface Pro 9/10/11, Dell XPS 13/15, Dell Latitude 7000/9000 series, HP EliteBook 800/1000 series, HP ZBook, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon and T-series, ASUS ZenBook and ROG laptops, and major USB-C Android handsets including Samsung Galaxy S22/S23/S24/S25/S26 series, Google Pixel 7/8/9 Pro, and OnePlus 11/12/13. The host laptop or tablet must support DisplayPort Alternate Mode through USB-C for HDMI output to function most laptops sold in Kenya since 2019 carry this capability.
Build Quality and Physical Dimensions
The StarJoy housing uses sandblasted anodized aluminum alloy with rounded corners and a gray finish that visually matches the MacBook Space Gray and Silver color schemes. Total weight comes in at 113 grams, light enough to carry in a laptop sleeve pocket without adding noticeable bulk to a daily commute bag. The integrated USB-C male connector cable measures roughly 12 centimeters, giving enough flex to position the hub on the desk without putting strain on the laptop port. Build construction includes a small LED indicator light on the top face that glows soft blue when the hub is connected and active, useful for confirming connection status without checking software. The aluminum body acts as a passive heat sink, keeping internal controller temperatures stable during extended use. Body dimensions stay slim enough to fit alongside a laptop, phone, and notebook in a standard daypack carried on Nairobi matatu commutes, and the rounded edges resist chipping from regular bag-and-pocket transit.
Inclusions and What's Inside the Retail Box
The retail package contains the Baseus StarJoy 6-Port USB-C Hub in gray finish (model identifier CAHUB-CW0G in the Metal Gleam Series), a printed quick-start guide covering basic port functions, and a Mascom International warranty card.

For first-time setups, Mascom can recommend a matching HDMI cable, a Cat 6 Ethernet cable for Gigabit speeds, and compatible USB-C laptop chargers in the 65W or 100W class.
