Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 800, brand new and sealed, in a 1.2m black PVC finish rated for 27W Power Delivery and 3A current. Porodo is a Dubai-based mobile accessories brand, and its Blue line covers everyday charging gear at fair prices. This Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable links a USB-C wall adapter, power bank or laptop to any Lightning iPhone, iPad or AirPods case, and it syncs data at 480Mbps. Pick one up at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for iPhone owners across Kenya who still carry an iPhone 11, 12, 13 or 14, the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable fixes a common problem: an old USB-A cable that charges slowly and frays at the neck. Swap it for USB-C Power Delivery, and a compatible phone agrees a faster charge with the adapter. Sales teams on the move, accountants who live on calls and university students at Strathmore and Kenyatta all need a phone that recovers during a short break. The 1.2m length reaches from a wall socket to a desk or bedside table without loose slack on the floor.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unbranded cables with no receipt, Mascom International stocks named Porodo products and backs each Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable with a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us their main worry with cheap cables is a phone that charges one day and stops the next. If you also need an adapter, the Porodo Blue Dual Port 20W travel adapter is in stock at KSh 2,300. Walk in to test the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable on your own iPhone, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable
How much is the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable in Kenya?
The Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable costs KSh 800 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the 1.2m black cable and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, but no wall adapter. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over the money only once the cable reaches you, whether you live in Kilimani or Kisumu. The Porodo Blue 20W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable sells for the same KSh 800, so choosing between the two comes down to the power rating, not your budget.
Which iPhones and iPads work with the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable?
The Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable fits every Apple device with a Lightning port, from the iPhone 5 through the iPhone 14 series, including the iPhone SE models. Lightning iPads such as the 9th-generation iPad and iPad mini 5 work too, as do Lightning AirPods cases. Fast charging over USB-C needs an iPhone 8 or newer. The iPhone 15 and every later iPhone use USB-C instead, so this cable will not plug into them; Mascom International stocks the Porodo USB-C to USB-C PVC Cable 3m at KSh 1,000 for those.
Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable or the 20W version: which should I buy?
The Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable and the Porodo Blue 20W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable both cost KSh 800 at Mascom International, and only the power rating differs. Each is 1.2m long, black and wrapped in PVC. The 27W cable carries up to 3A and leaves headroom for a stronger USB-C adapter or laptop charger. The 20W version matches a 20W adapter. Pick the 27W if you own a Pro Max model or switch between chargers; pick the 20W if one 20W plug is all you use.
Does the 27W rating make my iPhone charge faster than a 20W cable would?
Not always, because the iPhone decides how much power it draws, and the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable simply sets a higher ceiling. Many Lightning iPhones reach their top charging speed with a 20W adapter, so on an iPhone 11 or an iPhone SE you may notice little change. The larger Pro Max models from the iPhone 12 to iPhone 14 generations can draw a little more from a stronger adapter, and that is where the extra headroom pays off. The cable also works well below its limit with any smaller charger.
Can I use the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable with a power bank during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable works with any power bank that has a USB-C output, which helps when KPLC cuts power in your estate. Choose a bank that supports USB-C Power Delivery to get fast charging; an older bank with only USB-A ports needs a different cable. The 1.2m length lets you keep the bank in a bag on a matatu ride from Rongai while the phone stays in your hand. At Mascom International, we're seeing buyers pick up a power bank and a spare cable together.
Can the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable move photos to a laptop or run CarPlay?
Yes, the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable carries data at 480Mbps, the USB 2.0 speed that Lightning iPhones use. Plug it into a laptop or MacBook with a USB-C port to back up photos, sync music or update iOS through a computer. A batch of 1,000 photos at about 3MB each, roughly 3GB, copies across in a few minutes. Wired CarPlay works in cars that offer a USB-C socket, while older cars with only USB-A sockets need a USB-A to Lightning cable instead.
Is the PVC build of the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable tough enough for daily use?
The Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable uses a flexible PVC jacket, the same smooth plastic most phone makers use on the cables they pack in the box. PVC wipes clean with a dry cloth, which helps after a day on dusty roads or a wet commute. It resists sharp bending less well than a braided cable, so avoid wrapping it tightly around the adapter or pulling it out by the cord. Store it in a loose loop in your bag, and grip the plug itself whenever you unplug it.
Who should buy the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable if you own a Lightning iPhone from the iPhone 8 onward, charge from a USB-C adapter or power bank, and want a spare or a replacement for a worn cable. Skip it if your phone is an iPhone 15 or newer, or any Android phone, since those use USB-C; the Porodo USB-C to USB-C PVC Cable 3m fits them. If your adapter has only a USB-A port, you need a USB-A to Lightning cable.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- 27W Power Delivery rating — the cable carries enough power for USB-C fast charging on any Lightning iPhone that supports it.
- 3A current rating — the wires handle the full current a USB-C fast charger sends, so the cable is never the weak link.
- 480Mbps data transfer — USB 2.0 speed, the rate Lightning iPhones use for backups, music syncing and iOS updates on a computer.
- USB-C Power Delivery negotiation — phone and adapter agree a higher power level only when both support it, so basic chargers still work normally.
- Charge and sync in one lead — the same cable tops up your phone and connects it to a laptop, so one cable covers both jobs.
Compatibility
- Lightning end fits iPhone 5 through the iPhone 14 series and the iPhone SE models — check your charging port before you buy.
- Fast charging needs an iPhone 8 or newer — older Lightning iPhones still charge through this cable, at their standard speed.
- Lightning iPads such as the 9th-generation iPad and iPad mini 5 charge and sync without any extra adapter or dongle in between.
- Lightning AirPods charging cases — the case tops up from the same USB-C adapter you already use for your phone.
- USB-C end plugs into wall adapters, power banks, laptops and car chargers that have a USB-C port, with no dongle needed.
- Not for iPhone 15 or later, which use USB-C — those phones need a USB-C to USB-C cable instead of this one.
Build
- 1.2m length — long enough to reach from a wall socket to a bedside table or office desk without coils trailing on the floor.
- PVC jacket — smooth, flexible plastic that wipes clean of dust and sweat with a dry cloth in seconds.
- Black finish — hides marks from daily handling and matches most black adapters and power banks on the market.
- Flexible material — bends easily while you use the phone in your hand, though it should not be kinked sharply at the plugs.
- Porodo Blue line — the everyday-price range from Porodo, a mobile accessories brand based in Dubai.
Inclusions
- One Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable, 1.2m, black, sealed in its original retail packaging.
- No wall adapter included — use any USB-C PD adapter; the Porodo Blue Dual Port 20W travel adapter sells for KSh 2,300.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- In-store testing — our staff plug the cable into your own iPhone at the counter before you pay for it.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — order on WhatsApp and pay only when the cable reaches your door anywhere in Kenya.
Package Contents
The box holds one Porodo Blue 27W PD USB-C to Lightning Cable in 1.2m black PVC.

If you need one, the Porodo Blue Dual Port 20W travel adapter is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,300, and our staff can test the adapter and cable together with your phone before you pay.
