Budi DC267TT is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,300, a 1.8-metre USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 240W Power Delivery. The braided nylon jacket and metal connector housings hold up to constant plugging, unplugging, and bag travel. Inside sits an E-marker chip that negotiates up to 48V and 5A with your charger, so a compatible laptop draws its full wattage instead of trickling. File transfers run at USB 2.0 speeds of 480Mbps. Mascom International stocks the Budi DC267TT in black at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Anyone running a USB-C laptop already knows the problem. The 100W charger that came in the box works fine, but a cheap cable bought at a kiosk caps out at 60W, and the machine charges slower than it drains. Budi DC267TT removes that ceiling. Software developers in Westlands, architects running heavy CAD files on ThinkPad and Dell XPS machines, and videographers topping up a MacBook Pro between shoots all get the full wattage their adapter can supply. At 1.8 metres, the cable reaches from a wall socket to a desk without an extension lead.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops stock unmarked cables with no wattage rating printed anywhere, Mascom International sells the Budi DC267TT with its rating stated plainly on the box. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the same thing about cheap cords: they fray at the connector within three months. Budi builds this one with a nylon braid over the conductor and a metal collar at each end, which is why it costs more than the KSh 500 alternatives and lasts considerably longer. Order the Budi DC267TT online or collect it in person from our Kimathi Street counter.
Common Questions About the Budi DC267TT
Does the Budi DC267TT really charge at 240W?
The cable is rated to carry 240W, but the wattage you actually get depends on your charger and device. A 240W-capable cable simply removes the cable as the bottleneck. Pair it with a 100W GaN charger and a MacBook Pro, and you get 100W. Pair it with a 65W adapter and a ThinkPad, and you get 65W. Most Kenyan buyers use it at 65W to 140W. The 240W headroom matters for gaming laptops and future adapters.
Will this cable charge my MacBook Pro or Dell XPS at full speed?
Yes, provided you use the original adapter or an equivalent one. The Budi DC267TT carries up to 48V at 5A, which covers every current USB-C laptop charger sold in Kenya, including Apple's 96W and 140W bricks, Dell's 130W adapter, and Lenovo's 100W unit. Many generic cables silently limit to 3A, which caps charging at 60W regardless of your adapter. That limit is why laptops sometimes charge slowly on a replacement cord.
What does the E-marker chip inside the Budi DC267TT actually do?
The E-marker chip is a tiny controller in the connector that tells your charger what the cable can safely carry. Without it, a charger defaults to a low, safe current, usually 3A. With it, the charger reads the 5A rating and unlocks the higher tiers. The chip also guards against over-current, over-voltage, and overheating. Any cable claiming above 60W without an E-marker is either mislabelled or unsafe.
Is 1.8 metres long enough for a desk or bedside setup?
For most Kenyan homes and offices, yes. At 1.8 metres you can plug into a wall socket and still work comfortably at a desk, or charge a phone on the bedside table from a floor-level outlet. The shorter 1-metre cables force you to sit right beside the socket. Longer 3-metre cords tangle and take up bag space. This length hits the practical middle for daily use.
How fast does the Budi DC267TT transfer files?
Data runs at 480Mbps, the USB 2.0 rate, which moves roughly 1GB of files in about 30 seconds. That handles phone backups, photo dumps, and document syncing without complaint. It does not support video output, so you cannot run a monitor through it, and it will not hit the 10Gbps or 40Gbps speeds of USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt cables. For charging plus routine file movement, 480Mbps is plenty.
Can I use the Budi DC267TT to charge my phone as well?
Yes. The cable works with any USB-C phone, and it steps power down automatically to match what the handset requests. A Samsung Galaxy on 45W Super Fast Charging, an iPhone 15 or newer on 20W to 27W, an Oppo on SUPERVOOC, or a Redmi on 67W all charge at their normal rate. One cable can cover your laptop, phone, tablet, earbuds, and power bank, which cuts down what you carry.
How durable is the braided cable in Kenyan daily use?
The nylon braid resists the fraying that kills PVC cables, and the metal collar at each connector absorbs bending stress at the point where cheap cords split first. Budi rates this construction for tens of thousands of bend cycles.It survives boda boda commutes and matatu bag-crushing better than moulded cables.
Is the Budi DC267TT worth KSh 2,300 compared to cheaper cables?
Compare it to what it replaces. A KSh 500 kiosk cable caps at 60W, has no E-marker, and typically frays within three to six months. Buying three of those in a year costs KSh 1,500 and still charges your laptop at half speed. The Budi DC267TT charges at full wattage, carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty, and holds together. For anyone with a USB-C laptop, the maths favours the better cable.
Technical Specifications
Charging Power and Delivery Standards
- Rated to carry 240W under USB Power Delivery 3.1 Extended Power Range, the current top charging tier.
- Carries up to 48V at 5A, the voltage and current ceiling defined by the PD 3.1 specification.
- Backward compatible with 140W, 100W, 65W, 45W, 30W, 20W, and 18W charging profiles automatically.
- Steps power down for small devices, so earbuds and watches charge safely without over-current risk.
- E-marker chip communicates the 5A rating to the charger, unlocking tiers above the default 60W limit.
- Built-in protection covers over-current, over-voltage, overheating, and short-circuit conditions during charging sessions.
- Works with GaN chargers, laptop bricks, car chargers, and power banks that support USB Power Delivery.
Data Transfer and Port Behaviour
- Data moves at 480Mbps under the USB 2.0 standard, roughly 1GB of files every 30 seconds.
- Handles phone backups, photo transfers, and document syncing between laptops, tablets, and Android or iPhone handsets.
- Does not carry video signal, so it cannot drive an external monitor or projector.
- Not a Thunderbolt or USB 3.2 cable, so it will not reach 10Gbps or 40Gbps rates.
- Charging and data transfer run simultaneously, letting you back up a phone while it tops up.
- Both connectors are reversible and bidirectional, so either end can send or receive power.
Build Materials and Daily Durability
- Braided nylon jacket wraps the conductor, resisting the fraying that splits standard PVC cables within months.
- Aluminium alloy collars house both connectors, spreading bending stress away from the fragile solder joints.
- Reinforced strain relief sits where the cord meets each plug, the usual failure point on cheap cables.
- Tangle-resistant braid coils flat into a laptop bag without kinking or forming permanent bends.
- Black finish hides the dust and grime that Nairobi commutes deposit on lighter-coloured cables.
- Copper conductors run thicker than budget cables require, limiting heat build-up during sustained 100W charging.
- Metal shell adds weight over plastic connectors, giving a firmer grip when pulling from a tight port.
Device Compatibility Across Brands
- Charges MacBook Air and MacBook Pro at their rated wattage using Apple's 30W, 96W, or 140W adapters.
- Works with Dell XPS, Latitude, HP EliteBook, ProBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, ASUS Zenbook, and Legion laptops.
- Supports Samsung Galaxy S and Z series at 25W and 45W Super Fast Charging speeds.
- Handles iPhone 15, 16, and 17 series at their 20W to 27W charging rates.

- Feeds power banks, Bluetooth speakers, drones, camera batteries, and any accessory using a USB-C input port.
Length Handling and Everyday Use
- The 1.8-metre run reaches from a floor socket to a desk surface without an extension cord.
- Long enough for bedside charging in most Kenyan bedrooms where sockets sit below waist height.
- Short enough to coil into a laptop sleeve pocket without the bulk of 3-metre cords.
- Single cable covers laptop, phone, tablet, and earbuds, reducing what you pack for travel.
- Suits office desks, matatu commutes, hotel rooms, and shared workspace charging points equally well.
- Fits car charger setups where the driver needs reach from the console to the back seat.
