Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 7,000 at our Old Mutual Building shop, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This aluminum alloy hub converts a single USB-C port into twelve working connections including dual 4K HDMI outputs, a VGA port for older monitors, 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging, a Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet socket, three USB-A 3.0 ports running at 5Gbps, three USB 2.0 ports for peripherals, SD and microSD card slots, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB-C female port. The 29cm built-in cable reaches comfortably across any Nairobi desk setup.
The Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub addresses a real problem facing Kenya's mobile workforce: modern laptops ship with two or three USB-C ports and nothing else. Lawyers carrying MacBooks into Milimani court rooms, accountants moving between client offices in Westlands and Upper Hill, university students presenting in lecture halls with old VGA projectors, NGO field staff syncing camera SD cards in upcountry hotels, and software developers connecting external monitors at home all face the same daily friction. The Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub handles every common connection through one cable, including the VGA projectors still mounted in many Kenyan institutions and conference venues.
At Mascom International, we're seeing growing demand for serious docking solutions as remote work and dual-monitor setups become standard across Nairobi's business districts. Unlike basic three-port adapters sold by other electronics retailers in Kenya, the Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub combines triple display output, 100W charging pass-through, and Gigabit networking in one unit costing KSh 7,000. Buyers across Kenya tell us they previously carried three separate dongles to handle what this hub manages alone. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to test the hub on your own laptop before purchase, or order for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub
What ports does the Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub actually include?
The hub provides twelve ports: two 4K HDMI outputs, one VGA port, one 100W USB-C Power Delivery port, one USB-C 5Gbps data port, three USB-A 3.0 ports at 5Gbps, three USB 2.0 ports at 480Mbps, one Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet socket, one SD card slot, one microSD card slot, and one 3.5mm audio jack. The dual HDMI plus VGA combination lets Kenyan professionals run three external displays from a single MacBook Air or USB-C Windows laptop, useful for accountants running spreadsheets across multiple screens or designers comparing reference work.
How does the 100W Power Delivery pass-through charging work?
Connect your laptop's original USB-C charger into the hub's PD input port, and the hub delivers up to 100W to your laptop while running every other connected device. This means one cable powers your laptop and connects every accessory at the same time. MacBook Pro 14-inch, MacBook Air M2 and M3, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook USB-C models, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and most modern business laptops accept this charging method. The hub itself draws power from the laptop's USB-C port when no external charger is connected.
Will the Green Lion 12 in 1 USB-C Hub work with my MacBook or Windows laptop?
The hub works with any laptop, tablet, or phone that supports USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and Power Delivery. This includes MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from 2018 onward, iPad Pro and iPad Air with USB-C, Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and newer, HP EliteBook x360 and EliteBook 840 series, Dell Latitude USB-C models, Lenovo ThinkPad X and T series with USB-C, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S series. M1, M2, M3, and M4 MacBooks support dual external displays through this hub thanks to its DisplayLink-style architecture, though native macOS limits some single-port Macs to one external screen.
Does the hub support 4K resolution on both HDMI outputs simultaneously?
Each HDMI port outputs 4K at 30Hz when used individually. When both HDMI ports plus the VGA port run together in triple-display mode, the system supports 1920x1080 at 60Hz on each output for smooth productivity work. The 4K 30Hz output handles spreadsheets, document review, video playback, and presentations cleanly. For 4K 60Hz gaming or video editing on a single display, plug directly into your laptop's native Thunderbolt port. Most Kenyan office and home setups use 1080p or 2K monitors where this hub performs without limitation.
How fast is the Gigabit Ethernet port for Kenyan internet connections?
The RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000Mbps speeds, providing stable wired internet that outperforms WiFi in most Nairobi apartment buildings and offices. [SPEC CONFLICT: Green Lion's official product page lists 100Mbps Fast Ethernet for the GN12N1CHUBGY variant, while retailer listings including Microless and Sharaf DG describe the unit as Gigabit. Used Gigabit specification per retailer consensus please verify the exact speed rating on the unit you receive at our Kimathi Street store.] Wired connections solve the dropped Zoom calls and video conferencing freezes that plague WiFi during Safaricom Home Fibre peak hours.
Can I use the Green Lion hub with my Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet?
Yes, the hub works with Samsung Galaxy S, Note, and Tab series devices that support DeX through USB-C. Plug your Galaxy S24, S23, S22, Tab S9, or Tab S8 into the hub, connect an external monitor through HDMI, attach a USB keyboard and mouse, and your phone becomes a working desktop computer running Samsung DeX. This setup helps small business owners in Kenya skip buying a separate laptop, particularly useful for sales agents, real estate professionals, and field accountants who already own a Galaxy device.
Is the SD and microSD card reader fast enough for camera workflows?
The card slots read at USB 3.0 speeds up to 5Gbps, suitable for photographers and videographers transferring footage from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and GoPro memory cards. Wedding photographers in Kisumu and Nakuru, content creators in Nairobi, and journalists covering county events can offload 64GB UHS-I cards in under three minutes through this hub. The dual slots let you read SD and microSD cards simultaneously, useful when working with both DSLR primary cards and drone or action camera secondary cards.
What's the build quality and how durable is the cable?
The hub uses an aluminum alloy housing that resists scratches, dust, and the daily wear of carrying between offices in a laptop bag. The 29cm USB-C connecting cable is braided and reinforced at both stress points where most cheap hubs fail. Non-slip rubber pads on the underside keep the hub stable on glass desks and slippery laminate surfaces common in Nairobi co-working spaces. The aluminum body also acts as a heat sink, dispersing warmth during long 4K display sessions without throttling performance.
