Kenya's video editors cutting footage in Kilimani, software developers at Westlands tech startups, accountants juggling spreadsheets across two monitors, and remote workers running a single MacBook Air from co-working spaces all hit the same wall: one or two ports on a thin laptop. The Light Wave 15-in-1 dock solves the daily problem of unplugging the charger to plug in a monitor, then swapping again for a flash drive. One USB-C cable carries power, video, network, and storage at the same time. A built-in NVMe slot also ends the hunt for a separate SSD enclosure.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya selling stripped-down 6-port hubs at similar prices, Mascom International stocks the Light Wave 15-in-1 with the full port set verified on the bench before sale. Users consistently report a clean two-monitor setup running while the laptop charges over the same cable, plus 10Gbps transfer speeds off an NVMe drive seated in the dock. At Mascom International, we're seeing rising demand from home-office buyers and creative teams who want one accessory to replace three. Walk in to test the dock with your own laptop, or order for pay-on-arrival countrywide delivery.

The dock adds 15 functions through one USB-C cable: a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slot, two 4K HDMI ports, one DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet, a 100W USB-C power-in port, a 10Gbps USB-C data port, three to four USB-A ports, SD and microSD card readers, and a 3.5mm headphone and microphone jack. It plugs into any laptop with a full-function USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook, and Lenovo ThinkPad models sold at Mascom International.

Yes. The 100W USB-C power-in port passes charging straight through to your laptop while the dock runs monitors, drives, and network at the same time. You connect your laptop's own USB-C charger to the dock, not the laptop, so one cable to the laptop carries both power and data. The dock keeps roughly 85-87W for the laptop and uses the rest to run its own ports. A 13-inch MacBook Air or HP ProBook charges at close to full wall speed during normal desk work.

On Windows laptops, yes. Two HDMI ports plus the DisplayPort drive up to three screens, with dual 4K at 60Hz a common setup for editing and trading screens. macOS laptops with the M1 or M2 base chip mirror to one external monitor only, a limit set by Apple, not the dock. M3 and newer MacBooks and all Intel Macs support the full extended setup. Bring your laptop to our Kimathi Street store and we will confirm your exact monitor count before you buy.

The M.2 slot runs at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed, rated up to 10Gbps, which works out to real-world transfers near 900MB per second with a good NVMe SSD fitted. That moves a 50GB video project off the drive in under a minute. The bay fits 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 M.2 NVMe drives up to 4TB. The SSD is not included, so you add your own. Mascom International stocks compatible NVMe SSDs separately if you need one fitted at purchase.

The Gigabit Ethernet port takes a standard RJ45 cable straight from your Safaricom Home Fibre, Faiba, or Zuku router, giving a stable wired link up to 1000Mbps. Wired Ethernet through the dock holds steadier than Wi-Fi for video calls on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, large M-Pesa-statement uploads, and cloud backups. Laptops with no Ethernet port of their own get a full gigabit connection through this single dock, useful for developers pushing code and editors syncing files to the cloud.

Yes. The dock is driver-free and works with macOS, Windows 10 and 11, ChromeOS, and most Linux builds, as long as the laptop has a USB-C port that supports video output, often called DP Alt Mode, or a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 port. It suits MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Dell XPS and Latitude, HP EliteBook and ProBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Yoga, ASUS Zenbook, and Surface laptops. Plug it in and the ports work without installing software.

A plain 6-in-1 USB-C hub in Nairobi sells for KSh 3,000 to KSh 6,000 but gives you one HDMI, a couple of USB ports, and no storage bay or Gigabit Ethernet. The Light Wave 15-in-1 adds a second 4K display output, a DisplayPort, an NVMe SSD slot worth a separate KSh 3,000 enclosure on its own, true gigabit wired network, and 100W charging. For anyone running two monitors or moving large files daily, the extra spend replaces three separate accessories with one.

The Light Wave 15-in-1 needs a full-function USB-C or Thunderbolt port to carry video and full data, so it will not deliver display output or 100W charging through a plain USB-A port. Older laptops without USB-C video support can still use the dock's data ports and card readers through an adapter, but monitor output will not work. If your machine predates USB-C, bring it to Mascom International and our team will check compatibility before you commit to the purchase.

Mascom International tests each Light Wave dock's port set on the bench before sale, confirming HDMI output, Ethernet link, NVMe read speed, and 100W charging actually work. The unit ships new and sealed with Mascom's 6-month local warranty handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk, not a faceless online listing with no return path. Pay-on-arrival delivery lets you inspect the dock at your door, whether in Westlands, Karen, Mombasa Nyali, or Eldoret town, before you settle payment.
