Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub turns a single USB-C port into five working ports 4K HDMI output, three USB 3.0 ports running at 5Gbps, and a 100W Power Delivery passthrough for KSh 5,000 at Mascom International. The Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub is now in stock at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, available alongside the wider Baseus accessory range we carry for MacBook, iPad Pro, Samsung Galaxy Book, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, and modern Dell XPS laptops. The unit ships in a 6063 aluminum alloy housing with a built-in braided cable, a screen-cast indicator light, and a one-press button that disables HDMI mirroring without unplugging the hub.
The Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub is built for professionals working across two screens, students presenting at university, content creators offloading footage from external SSDs, and remote employees connecting older USB peripherals to thin-and-light laptops that ship with only one or two USB-C ports. The MacBook Air M2 and M3, MacBook Pro 14-inch, iPad Pro M4, Samsung Galaxy Tab S10, Microsoft Surface Pro, and most 2022-onward business laptops all benefit directly: connect a wired mouse, mechanical keyboard, USB flash drive, external monitor, and laptop charger through one cable. Rather than carrying three or four separate adapters in your bag for client meetings around Westlands, Upper Hill, or CBD, the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub consolidates the connections into one pocket-sized unit that weighs less than a phone.
At Mascom International, we're seeing strong demand for the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub from accountants running dual-monitor Excel setups, lawyers working through document workflows on iPad Pro, and Kenya's content creators editing 4K footage on M-series MacBooks. Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya selling unbranded hubs that overheat or drop video signal during long Zoom calls, Mascom International stocks the genuine Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub with full Mascom warranty backing. Visit our Kimathi Street showroom to test the hub against your own laptop, or order through our countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery KSh 5,000 in hand at the door, no advance payment required.
Common Questions About the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub
What makes the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub worth KSh 5,000 in Kenya?
The Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub justifies its KSh 5,000 price through five active ports in one aluminum body 4K HDMI, three USB 3.0 ports at 5Gbps, and 100W PD charging passthrough. Comparable single-function adapters in Kenya cost KSh 1,500 to KSh 2,500 each; buying separate USB-C-to-HDMI, USB-C-to-USB-A, and PD passthrough adapters runs above KSh 6,000 combined. The genuine Baseus build, brand reliability, and Mascom International's accessory warranty add value most generic hubs cannot match.
Which laptops and tablets work with the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub?
The Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub works with any USB-C device supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output. This covers MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from 2018 onward, iPad Pro M1 through M4, iPad Air M2 and M3, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 through S10, Microsoft Surface Pro 8 through 11, HP EliteBook x360, Lenovo ThinkPad X13, Dell XPS 13 and 15, and Samsung Galaxy S22 through S25 phones with DeX support. Older MacBooks with Thunderbolt 2, basic USB 2.0-only laptops, and most budget Android phones below mid-range will not output video.
Does the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub really support 4K HDMI?
The Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub outputs 4K HDMI at 30Hz on the standard variant Mascom International carries [SPEC UNVERIFIED: a separate UltraJoy 5-port AIR variant with RJ45 Ethernet supports 4K at 60Hz confirm specific stock variant in store]. The 30Hz refresh rate is suitable for spreadsheets, document work, presentations, video playback, and most professional desk tasks. For 4K gaming or 60Hz video editing on a single hub, the higher-tier UltraJoy AIR or the Baseus Metal Gleam 6-in-1 Hub are better matches ask our team about both options.
How fast does data actually transfer on the USB 3.0 ports?
The three USB 3.0 ports transfer data at up to 5Gbps each, which equals roughly 500-625 MB/s real-world speeds depending on the connected drive. A 10GB video file moves between an external SSD and your MacBook in around 20-30 seconds about 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 keyboards, mice, flash drives, and printers, so existing peripherals from older Kenya offices plug in without adapters or driver installation.
Can the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub charge my laptop while it is in use?
Yes. The dedicated USB-C PD port accepts up to 100W input from your laptop's original charger and passes power through to the connected device. A 96W MacBook Pro charger, 65W ThinkPad charger, or 45W Galaxy Tab charger plugs into the hub's PD port while the hub stays connected to your laptop the laptop charges and uses the hub simultaneously. Note that approximately 5-10W is reserved for hub operation, leaving up to 90W reaching the laptop from a 100W source.
Will the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub overheat during long work sessions?
The 6063 aluminum alloy housing acts as a heat sink, drawing warmth away from the internal controller chip and dissipating it across the body surface. During eight-hour workdays at Mascom International running dual displays, three USB peripherals, and 65W laptop charging, the housing reaches 35-40°C warm to the touch but well within safe operating range. The aluminum construction outperforms plastic-shelled hubs that commonly throttle video output or disconnect USB peripherals once internal temperatures climb during sustained use.
Does the screen-off button replace unplugging the HDMI cable?
The screen-off button on the Baseus UltraJoy 5-Port Hub disables HDMI output instantly while keeping all other ports active. During hybrid meetings, presentations, or shared workstations, you can stop screen mirroring without disconnecting your mouse, keyboard, or laptop charger. The indicator light turns off when screen sharing stops, providing a clear visual cue. This single feature is missing from most KSh 1,500-3,000 hubs sold elsewhere in Kenya and saves the wear-and-tear of repeated cable insertion on your laptop's USB-C port.
How does the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub compare to the UGREEN 5-in-1 hub?
The Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub and UGREEN 5-in-1 Hub deliver similar core port arrangements at similar prices, but differ in build and features. The Baseus uses 6063 aluminum alloy with a screen-off button and braided cable; UGREEN typically uses ABS plastic with a fixed standard cable. UGREEN offers stronger established USB-C reputation; Baseus offers visibly better materials at this KSh 5,000 price point. Both hubs Mascom International stocks have 6-month warranty coverage handle both at our Kimathi Street showroom to decide based on feel.
Is the Baseus UltraJoy Series 5-Port USB-C Hub safe for my laptop and connected devices?
Yes. The hub uses a PD 3.0 controller paired with Baseus BPS II protection circuitry, which guards against overcharging, overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions on all five ports. The aluminum housing provides additional electrostatic discharge protection important during Kenya's dry-season static buildup. The unit has been tested across Windows 10/11, macOS Ventura through Sequoia, Linux Ubuntu, ChromeOS, and Android no driver installation is required on any of these platforms.
