The Budi DC206TT10B is a 65W USB-C to USB-C charging and data cable, one metre long, wrapped in nylon braid with a metal alloy connector housing, priced at KSh 600 and in stock now at Mascom International. Find it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Every Budi DC206TT10B we sell is brand new and sealed in its retail pack. The cable carries USB Power Delivery up to 20V at 3.25A, which is enough headroom to run a MacBook Air, a Dell XPS 13, or an HP EliteBook while you keep working.
Most people buying the Budi DC206TT10B already own a good charger and a laptop that charges over USB-C. The weak link is the cable. A 20W cable plugged into a 65W charger caps your laptop at trickle speed, and thin rubber cables crack at the neck after four months of being coiled into a backpack. Students at Strathmore, USIU and the University of Nairobi, field engineers moving between Nakuru and Kisumu sites, and office staff in Westlands and Upper Hill all hit the same wall. One cable that handles a laptop, a Samsung phone, an iPad and a pair of earbuds solves it.
Unlike the unbranded cables sold at KSh 150 along Nairobi streets, the Budi DC206TT10B is rated and labelled for its actual output instead of guessed at. At Mascom International, we're seeing customers replace three cheap cables a year at roughly KSh 450 total, then still lose charging speed and file transfer along the way. Users consistently report that a properly rated 65W cable pays for itself by month five and stops the guessing. Test the Budi DC206TT10B against your own laptop at our Kimathi Street counter, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Budi DC206TT10B
Will the Budi DC206TT10B charge my laptop?
Yes, provided your laptop charges through a USB-C port and your adapter supplies the wattage. The cable passes up to 65W, which covers the MacBook Air, most Dell XPS and Latitude models, HP EliteBook and Pavilion machines, Lenovo ThinkPad and IdeaPad units, and the ASUS Zenbook range. Machines that need 100W or more, such as gaming laptops, will still charge but more slowly. Check the wattage printed on your original charger brick before buying.
Is 65W too much power for my phone?
No. USB Power Delivery negotiates before any current flows. Your phone tells the charger what it can accept, and the charger sends only that. A Samsung Galaxy A17 asking for 25W receives 25W through this cable, not 65W. The 65W figure is a ceiling, not a fixed output. This is why one Budi DC206TT10B can safely serve a laptop, a phone, a tablet and a Bluetooth speaker on the same desk.
How fast does the Budi DC206TT10B charge a phone?
Charging speed depends on your phone and your wall adapter, not the cable alone. Paired with a 25W adapter, a Samsung Galaxy phone reaches roughly 50 percent in 30 minutes. With a 67W Xiaomi or Redmi adapter, expect close to 100 percent in 40 minutes. The cable's job is to carry that current without loss. Thin cables throttle the handshake and add 20 minutes to the same charge.
Does this cable work with iPhone 15, 16 and 17?
Yes. Apple moved the iPhone to USB-C starting with the iPhone 15, so the Budi DC206TT10B plugs straight in with no adapter. It also fits the iPad Air, iPad Pro, iPad 10th generation, AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C case, and MacBook models. Older iPhone 14 and earlier handsets use Lightning and need a different cable. Mascom International stocks USB-C to Lightning cables for those devices.
Can I transfer files with the Budi DC206TT10B?
Yes. This is a charge and sync cable, not power only. Connect a phone to a laptop and you can move photos, videos and documents, run Android File Transfer, or back up to a computer. Many cheap cables carry power alone and simply refuse to show your device on a PC. If file transfer matters to you, confirm the cable supports data before buying, because the two types look identical.
Why do the braided sleeve and metal shell matter in Kenya?
Cables fail at the neck, where the wire meets the connector. Daily coiling into a backpack for the matatu ride, plus the tug of a boda boda commute, works that joint loose on plain rubber cables. The nylon braid resists abrasion and stops the sleeve splitting, while the metal alloy housing grips the internal wiring instead of letting it flex freely. Dust along Mombasa Road and Thika Road also sticks less to braided fabric.
Does the Budi DC206TT10B support 100W or 240W charging?
No. This cable is rated at 65W, or 20V at 3.25A. Plug it into a 100W or 140W charger and it will still work, but the current stays capped at 65W. That is fine for ultrabooks, phones and tablets. If you own a 16-inch MacBook Pro, a gaming laptop, or a monitor that powers a laptop over USB-C, ask our team about the 100W and 140W cables we stock instead.
Is one metre long enough?
One metre suits desks, office setups, bedside charging and daily bag carry. It coils small, tangles less than longer cables, and loses less voltage over the run. If you charge from a wall socket while sitting on a sofa, or need reach from a matatu seat to a distant port, the two-metre and three-metre versions of this Budi cable serve better. Mascom International stocks all three lengths at Kimathi Street.
Do you deliver the Budi DC206TT10B outside Nairobi?
Yes. Mascom International delivers to all 47 Kenyan counties with payment on arrival, so you hand over the KSh 600 only once the cable is in your hand. Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery. Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Nyeri and every other major town receive it the next business day. Order by phone, WhatsApp, email or through our website, and quote the model number DC206TT10B.
Technical Specifications
Charging Output and Power Delivery Standard
- Rated Output: 65W ceiling, negotiated at 20V and 3.25A, enough to run most 13-inch and 14-inch USB-C laptops while in use
- Protocol: USB Power Delivery, the open standard that lets charger and device agree on voltage before current flows
- Voltage Steps: Supports 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V profiles, covering earbuds at one end and laptops at the other
- Adapter Requirement: Output depends on your wall charger; a 20W brick delivers 20W through this cable regardless of its 65W rating
- Safety Behaviour: The device requests its own current limit, so a phone rated for 25W never draws laptop-level power
- E-Marker: Cables at this rating carry an identification chip that tells the charger how much current the wire can safely pass
Data Transfer and Sync Function
- Data Support: Full charge and sync wiring, so phones, tablets and drives appear on a connected computer rather than only drawing power
- Transfer Rate: USB 2.0 speed, rated up to 480Mbps
- Practical Speed: A 2GB video file moves across in roughly one minute, adequate for phone backups and document syncing
- Not Video Rated: This cable carries power and data only, so it will not drive an external monitor over DisplayPort Alt Mode
- Backup Use: Works with Android File Transfer, Samsung's Switch migration app and Windows File Explorer for moving photos off a full phone
Device Compatibility Across Brands
- Phones: Samsung Galaxy S and A series, Xiaomi, Redmi, Poco, Oppo, Vivo, Tecno, Infinix, Itel, Google Pixel, Nothing and OnePlus
- Apple Devices: iPhone 15, 16 and 17 families, iPad Air, iPad Pro, iPad 10th generation, and USB-C AirPods cases
- Laptops: MacBook Air, Dell XPS and Latitude, HP EliteBook and ProBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and IdeaPad, ASUS Zenbook
- Other Hardware: Nintendo Switch, JBL and Anker speakers, UGREEN power banks, DJI and Insta360 cameras, USB-C headphones
- Port Requirement: Both ends are USB-C, so a laptop or charger with only USB-A ports needs a separate cable or adapter
- Network Independence: Charging behaviour is identical on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya handsets, since the cable carries no network function
Cable Construction and Durability
- Sleeve: Nylon braid over the conductor resists abrasion from bag zips, desk edges and repeated daily coiling
- Connector Housing: Metal alloy shell holds the wiring at the neck, the point where soft rubber cables usually crack first
- Length: One metre, or roughly 3.3 feet, sized for desk use, bedside charging and carrying in a laptop sleeve
- Colour: Black, with the braid hiding the dust and hand marks that show quickly on white cables
- Bend Tolerance: Braided construction handles thousands of coil cycles, which matters on a cable used twice daily for two years
- Climate Handling: The sleeve copes with coastal humidity in Mombasa and Diani as well as dry upcountry conditions
Connector Design and Everyday Handling
- Reversible Ends: USB-C plugs insert either way up, removing the fumbling that Micro-USB and USB-A connectors demand in the dark
- Identical Ends: Both connectors are the same, so either end can go to the charger or the device without thinking
- Plug Depth: Standard USB-C tip clears most slim phone cases without needing the case removed
- Grip: The metal collar gives a firm pinch point, so you pull the plug rather than the wire when unplugging
- Weight: Light enough to leave permanently in a laptop bag as a spare alongside your main charging setup
