Budi Multi-functional Box in the DC519P and DC519W finishes is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,000. This 11 in 1 travel kit holds a 28cm USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 65W USB Power Delivery, three snap-on adapters covering USB-A, Micro USB and Lightning, a SIM ejector pin, two nano SIM slots, six TF card slots and a fold-out phone cradle inside a case roughly the size of a lighter. The Budi Multi-functional Box is brand new and sealed. Collect it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Field sales teams covering Nairobi, Nakuru and Kisumu in one week, boda riders charging between drops, students moving between campus and shags, and anyone who swaps a Safaricom line for an Airtel line at the border all share the same problem. Cables go missing, the wrong connector shows up at the wrong moment, and a loose SIM card disappears into a bag lining. The Budi Multi-functional Box puts six working cable combinations, a SIM pin and card storage on a single lanyard clip, so one item leaves the house instead of five.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell cheap unbranded cable sticks with no rating behind them, Mascom International stocks the Budi Multi-functional Box with its 65W charging figure and 480Mbps transfer speed stated plainly. Users consistently report that the fold-out cradle earns its place on long-distance bus trips more than any other function. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady repeat demand from corporate buyers ordering ten and twenty units for field staff. Order the Budi Multi-functional Box today, or handle one at our Kimathi Street counter first.
Common Questions About the Budi Multi-functional Box
What exactly does the Budi Multi-functional Box do?
It replaces six separate charging cables plus a SIM tool and a memory card wallet with one clip-on case. Inside sits a 28cm USB-C to USB-C cable and three detachable heads: USB-C to USB-A, USB-C to Micro USB, and USB-C to Lightning. Combining the cable with those heads produces six connector pairings. The shell also stores two nano SIM cards, six TF cards and a SIM ejector pin, then folds open to prop a phone upright.
Does it charge fast enough for a laptop or only phones?
The cable is rated for 65W USB Power Delivery, which at 20V and 3A covers most USB-C laptops that ship with a 45W or 65W brick. That includes the HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Dell Latitude machines Mascom International sells daily. Actual speed depends on your wall charger, since the Budi Multi-functional Box carries power rather than generating it. Pair it with a 65W Power Delivery adapter and a 60Wh laptop reaches roughly 50 percent in half an hour.
Which cables and connectors does the Budi Multi-functional Box replace?
Six pairings come out of one cable and three heads: USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to Lightning, USB-C to Micro USB, USB-A to USB-C, USB-A to Lightning and USB-A to Micro USB. That covers a Samsung Galaxy or Tecno handset, an iPhone 14 or older on Lightning, an older Bluetooth speaker or power bank on Micro USB, and any office desktop or car charger still running USB-A ports. One kit handles a mixed-device household without a drawer full of spares.
Can I move files with it or is it charging only?
Data works both ways. The cable and adapters carry data at up to 480Mbps, the USB 2.0 rate, which moves a 700MB video file in roughly twenty seconds under real conditions. The USB-C to USB-A head also acts as an OTG connector, so a flash drive, wired keyboard, mouse or card reader plugs straight into an Android phone or tablet. That turns a phone into a field workstation when you are away from a laptop.
Where do the SIM cards and memory cards actually sit?
The shell carries two nano SIM bays and six TF card bays cut into the inner tray, plus a dedicated channel for the steel ejector pin. Cards clip in under light pressure and stay put when the case is closed. Kenyans running a Safaricom line and an Airtel or Telkom line, or swapping to a Tanzanian or Ugandan SIM at the border, keep the spare line in the case instead of taped inside a wallet where it bends.
Is the DC519P different from the DC519W in any way?
Only the colour. DC519P is the pink shell and DC519W is the white shell. Cable length, the 65W Power Delivery rating, the three adapters, both SIM bays, all six TF bays, the ejector pin and the cradle hinge are identical across the two codes. Mascom International prices both at KSh 2,000 and stocks them side by side, so pick whichever finish you prefer without checking a spec difference that does not exist.
Will it work with both my iPhone and my Android phone?
Yes, and that is the main reason households buy one. The Lightning head covers iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone SE and every earlier Lightning model, along with older AirPods cases. The USB-C head covers iPhone 15 and later, all current Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and Xiaomi handsets, iPads, and USB-C laptops. Micro USB catches older Bluetooth speakers, torches and power banks that most Kenyan homes still keep in use.
Is a 28cm cable too short for everyday use?
For charging at a desk, in a matatu, in a car or on a bus seat, 28cm is enough, and the shortness is deliberate because a short cable carries less resistance and stores flat. It is not built for charging from a wall socket while lying in bed. Treat the Budi Multi-functional Box as the kit that lives in your bag for the times you forgot your long cable, not as a full replacement for it.
Is the Budi Multi-functional Box worth KSh 2,000 in Kenya?
Buying the parts separately in Nairobi runs higher. A branded 65W USB-C cable alone sits between KSh 1,200 and KSh 1,800, a Lightning adapter adds KSh 400, a Micro USB adapter another KSh 300, and a SIM card case around KSh 250. That is well past KSh 2,950 before you count the cradle and the TF bays. At KSh 2,000 the kit costs less than the cable and one adapter bought apart.
Technical Specifications
Cable Configuration and Connector Options
- Integrated 28cm USB-C to USB-C cable sits permanently in the shell so it cannot be left behind at home
- Three detachable heads included: USB-C to USB-A, USB-C to Micro USB and USB-C to Lightning connectors
- Six working cable pairings result from combining the fixed cable with the three supplied adapter heads
- Adapter heads store in moulded recesses inside the case, each held by friction rather than a loose flap
- Lightning head fits iPhone 14 and earlier, iPad models before 2022, and older AirPods charging cases
- Micro USB head serves older power banks, Bluetooth speakers, torches and radios still common in Kenyan homes
Charging Capability and Power Delivery
- Rated for 65W USB Power Delivery at 20V and 3A, covering phones, tablets and most USB-C laptops
- Passes through whatever your wall adapter supplies, so a 20W charger produces 20W and not 65W
- A 5000mAh phone paired with a 33W Power Delivery charger reaches roughly 60 percent in thirty minutes
- Supports USB Power Delivery negotiation, letting the charger and device agree on a safe voltage automatically
- Handles a 60Wh business laptop battery to about half charge in thirty minutes on a 65W brick
- Works with car chargers, power banks and wall plugs alike, since it carries power rather than producing it
Data Transfer and OTG Function
- Transfers data at up to 480Mbps, the USB 2.0 rate, moving a 700MB file in roughly twenty seconds
- USB-C to USB-A head doubles as an OTG connector for flash drives, keyboards, mice and card readers
- Android phones and tablets read connected flash drives directly, useful for field reports away from an office
- Laptop to phone transfers run without cloud upload, saving Safaricom and Airtel bundle data on large files
- Not intended for 4K video editing off an external drive, where a 5Gbps USB 3.0 cable performs better
- Same cable handles charging and data, so no separate sync cable is needed in the bag
SIM and Memory Card Storage
- Two nano SIM bays hold a spare Safaricom, Airtel or Telkom line without tape, envelopes or wallet folds
- Six TF card bays store microSD cards from phones, dash cameras, CCTV recorders and action cameras securely
- Steel SIM ejector pin clips into a dedicated channel, so the tool is present when a line needs swapping
- Cards seat under light finger pressure and remain fixed when the shell is closed for transport
- Cross-border travellers to Tanzania, Uganda or Rwanda keep the local SIM stored beside the home line
Phone Cradle and Everyday Handling
- Shell folds open into a cradle that props a phone upright at a comfortable viewing angle
- Holds a phone steady on a bus tray, matatu seat back, office desk or hotel bedside table
- Supports handsets up to roughly 7 inches, covering the Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max
- Phone can charge from the same kit while resting in the cradle during a long journey
- Lanyard hole lets the case hang from a bag strap, keys or laptop sleeve instead of sinking into a pocket
- Whole kit weighs under 80 grams, so it adds no meaningful load to a laptop bag or handbag
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- ABS and polycarbonate shell resists the knocks of daily bag transport, boda commutes and matatu rides
- Closed clamshell keeps dust out of the cable head and card bays during Nairobi dry season travel
- Compact footprint of roughly 115 x 25 x 15mm slides into a shirt pocket, wallet sleeve or car cubby
- Snap-close lid holds shut under vibration, so cards do not scatter inside a bag on rough upcountry roads
- Colour options are DC519P in pink and DC519W in white, with the internal layout identical between them
- Cable strain points sit inside the housing rather than exposed, the usual failure spot on loose travel cables
