The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable is a 1.2m, 27W charging cable with an aroma finish, available brand new and sealed at Mascom International for KSh 2,000. It connects a USB-C wall adapter, car charger or power bank to any iPhone or iPad that still uses Apple's Lightning port. Levelo is an accessories brand from Dubai in the UAE, and it finishes this cable in white with a scent built into the design. You can collect the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for people across Kenya who still carry an iPhone 14, iPhone 13 or an older Lightning iPad, this cable fixes a common problem. Many Lightning iPhone owners buy a new USB-C adapter, then find their old cable has a rectangular USB-A plug that will not fit it. The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable closes that gap and supports fast charging when paired with a USB-C Power Delivery adapter of 20W or more. At 1.2m the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable reaches from a desk socket in an Upper Hill office to your hand, and it runs off a power bank when KPLC cuts the lights in the evening.
Where many Nairobi stalls sell unbranded Lightning cables with no stated rating, Mascom International stocks a named Levelo cable with a stated 27W rating and a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want one cable that charges properly at work, at home and in the car. The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable also sits beside a wider Levelo range on our shelves, including the Vero 20W GaN UK Adapter, so you can buy a matched pair in one visit. Order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery, or walk in and try it on your own phone first.
Common Questions About Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable
How much is the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable 27W in Kenya?
The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable costs KSh 2,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the 1.2m white cable with its aroma finish and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. No wall adapter comes with it, so if you need one, the Vero 20W GaN UK Adapter costs KSh 2,500, bringing a complete charging set to KSh 4,500. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya, and same day within Nairobi and its environs.
Which iPhones and iPads work with the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable?
The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable works with every iPhone that has a Lightning port, which means the iPhone 14 and earlier models. That includes the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, iPhone 11 and the iPhone SE. It also fits older iPads that still use Lightning, and AirPods cases with a Lightning port. The iPhone 15 and every later iPhone switched to USB-C, so those need a USB-C to USB-C cable instead, such as the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to USB-C Cable.
Will the 27W rating fast charge my iPhone, or do I need a special charger?
The 27W rating lets the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable carry fast-charging power, but the adapter decides the actual speed. Plug it into a USB-C Power Delivery adapter of 20W or more, such as the Vero 20W GaN UK Adapter, and a Lightning iPhone fast charges. Plug it into a weak 5W adapter and it charges slowly, because a cable cannot add power the charger never supplies. The iPhone itself also controls how much power it accepts at any moment.
Can I use the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable with a power bank during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable runs from any power bank with a USB-C output, which helps when KPLC cuts power in Nairobi or upcountry. Charging speed then depends on the power bank's USB-C output rating rather than the cable. In the car, a USB-C car charger such as the Nori Mini 60W Car Charger, KSh 2,000 at Mascom International, keeps your iPhone going on long drives to Nakuru or Mombasa. Confirm the port layout of any pairing with us on WhatsApp before you order.
Should I buy the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable or the Otto C-to-Lightning 30W Leather Cable?
The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable costs KSh 2,000, while the Otto C-to-Lightning 30W Leather Cable costs KSh 3,000 at Mascom International. Both run 1.2m. The Otto carries a 30W rating against 27W here and wraps the cable in leather, which suits buyers who want a dressier look. For a Lightning iPhone the 3W gap matters little, because the phone limits its own intake. Pick the EssenceCord for aroma and price, or the Otto for leather. The Tugo C-to-Lightning 30W 0.3m Lanyard Cable, also KSh 2,000, suits carrying on a bag strap.
Does the aroma on the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable last, and how strong is it?
Levelo does not publish how long the scent on the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable lasts, so Mascom International will not promise a figure. The aroma is a finishing touch on a charging cable, not a room fragrance. If scent strength matters to you, smell a sample at our Kimathi Street shop before you buy. For a stronger fragrance in your car, the Vapor Car Aroma Diffuser at KSh 5,300 is built for that job, while this cable stays a charging cable first.
Who should buy the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable, and who should skip it?
The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable suits anyone with an iPhone 14 or earlier, or a Lightning iPad, who owns or plans to buy a USB-C adapter. It fits office workers in Westlands, students at Kenyatta University and families who share one charger at home. Skip it if you own an iPhone 15 or later, and buy the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to USB-C Cable instead. Skip it too if your only adapter has the older rectangular USB-A port, because this cable will not plug into it.
Is the Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable worth KSh 2,000 when cheaper Lightning cables exist?
The Levelo EssenceCord USB-C to Lightning Cable is worth KSh 2,000 if you want a named brand, a stated 27W rating and a 6-month warranty from a walk-in shop. Cheaper roadside cables often carry no rating at all, so you cannot tell whether they will fast charge. Many also use a USB-A plug, which rules out fast charging from a modern adapter. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us they would rather pay once for a cable they can return than replace unbranded ones.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Support
- USB-C connector on one end and Lightning on the other — links a modern USB-C adapter to an older iPhone or iPad.
- 27W power rating — the cable carries up to 27W, above the 20W adapters Apple recommends for iPhone fast charging.
- USB Power Delivery support — Power Delivery is the USB-C standard that lets charger and phone agree on a faster, safe power level.
- Charging speed is set by the adapter and the device — a 5W cube stays slow, while a 20W adapter unlocks fast charging.
- Works from wall adapters, USB-C car chargers and power banks with a USB-C port — one cable covers home, office and road.
Compatibility and Supported Devices
- Every Lightning iPhone, from the iPhone 14 series back through the iPhone 13, 12, 11 and SE models.
- Older iPad models with a Lightning port, such as the iPad 9th generation — check the port shape before ordering.
- AirPods charging cases with a Lightning port — the same cable tops up your earbuds and your phone.
- Not for the iPhone 15 or any later iPhone — those models use USB-C and need a USB-C to USB-C cable.
- Needs a USB-C socket at the power end — it will not fit older chargers with a rectangular USB-A port.
Build and Aroma Finish
- 1.2m length — enough slack to use your phone from a bed, sofa or desk while it charges.
- White finish — matches the white iPhone accessories most buyers already own and suits a light-coloured desk.
- Aroma finish — the cable carries a scent, a feature Levelo builds into its EssenceCord line.
- Brand: Levelo, an accessories maker based in Dubai, sold through major UAE retailers such as Carrefour.
- Supplied brand new and sealed in retail packaging, so you are the first person to use it.
Recommended Pairings at Mascom International
- Vero 20W GaN UK Adapter, KSh 2,500 — GaN, or gallium nitride, lets a charger run smaller and cooler than older designs.
- Vero 65W GaN UK Adapter, KSh 4,500 — more power than a Lightning iPhone draws, useful if you also charge a USB-C laptop.
- Nori Mini 60W Car Charger, KSh 2,000 — turns a car's socket into a USB-C power source for this cable.
- MagLight 8000mAh Power Bank, KSh 5,400 — portable backup power whose USB-C output, rated at 20W, takes this cable directly.
- Vapor Car Aroma Diffuser, KSh 5,300 — for buyers who want a stronger fragrance in the car than a cable gives.
