Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 600, a black 1.2m lead rated for 3A of charging current with charge and sync support. It is brand new and sealed, made by Porodo, the Dubai-based mobile accessories brand, under model code PD-U12CC-BK. The Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m joins a classic USB-A plug to a USB-C plug, wrapped in a TPE and fire-resistant PVC jacket rated for more than 5,000 bends. Pick one up at our shop on the First Floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for the millions of Kenyans whose chargers, car sockets and desktop computers still use the rectangular USB-A port, the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m handles daily phone charging and file transfer. Tecno, Infinix and Itel buyers often find the original cable frays within months of matatu and boda boda commutes. Sales teams, journalists and logistics coordinators need a spare in the bag. At 1.2m, the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m reaches a bedside table or a desk socket without coiling into knots in a pocket.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell loose, unbranded cables with no rating on the pack, Mascom International stocks the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m with its 3A rating and bend test stated by the maker. At Mascom International, we're seeing buyers pick up two at a time, one for home and one for the office or car. Customers in Kisumu and Mombasa order it alongside a phone so they have a backup lead from day one. Visit our Kimathi Street shop or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival.
Common Questions About the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m
What is the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m price in Kenya?
The Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m sells for KSh 600 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed in black. The price covers the cable in its Porodo pack and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. It does not include a wall plug. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya, same day within Nairobi. If your charger has a USB-C port instead, the Porodo USB-C to USB-C PVC Cable 3m in the same batch costs KSh 1,000, KSh 400 more.
Will the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m work with my old charger?
The Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m fits any charger, power bank, laptop or car socket with the flat, rectangular USB-A port. That covers the plugs packed with many Tecno, Infinix, Itel and older Samsung phones still in use across Kenya. The other end fits any phone or gadget with a USB-C port. Its 3A rating lets the cable carry the full current most standard USB-A chargers supply, so your phone charges at the speed your charger was built for.
Should I choose the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m or the Porodo USB-C to USB-C PVC Cable 3m?
Choose by the port on your charger: the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m needs a USB-A charger, while the 3m model needs a USB-C charger. The 3m version adds Power Delivery up to 60W, enough for many laptops, and 480Mbps data. It also gives more than double the reach. The 1.2m cable costs KSh 600 against KSh 1,000 and packs smaller. Phone owners with USB-A chargers should take the 1.2m cable; laptop users with USB-C adapters should take the 3m.
Can I use the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m in a car in Kenya?
Yes, the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m plugs into any car charger or dashboard socket with a USB-A port. Its 1.2m length reaches from the centre console to a phone mount for Google Maps on the drive from Nairobi to Nakuru. Taxi and ride-hailing drivers can keep one in the car and another at home. Heat inside a parked car can soften any cable over time, so store it in the glove box rather than on the dashboard.
Who should buy the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m, and who should skip it?
Buy the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m if your charger, power bank or computer has a USB-A port and your phone uses USB-C. It suits students, commuters and anyone wanting a low-cost spare. Skip it if your charger has only USB-C ports, such as the Porodo Blue Dual Port 20W travel adapter at KSh 2,300; a USB-C to USB-C cable fits there. Owners of iPhone 14 or earlier should also skip it and choose a Lightning cable.
Can the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m transfer files to a computer?
The Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m carries data as well as power, so you can move photos, documents and music between a phone and a computer. Most office desktops and older laptops in Kenya still carry USB-A ports, which this cable fits directly. That helps accountants and lawyers who copy scanned files from a phone to a work PC for KRA or eCitizen uploads. Porodo does not publish a data speed for this model, so we do not quote one.
How long does the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m last?
The maker rates the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m for more than 5,000 bends, a test of how often the plug joint can flex before wear appears. The jacket mixes TPE, a soft rubber-like plastic, with fire-resistant PVC. Black hides the dust and grime of daily commuting better than white. To get the most out of it, avoid sharp kinks near the plugs and never pull it out by the cord. Coil it loosely before dropping it in a bag.
Is the Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m safe to leave charging overnight?
The Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m is listed by Porodo with protection against over-voltage, over-heating and over-current, and its PVC jacket is described as fire-resistant. Your phone manages its own battery and stops drawing heavy current once full. Safety still depends on the charger, so use a branded adapter rather than a roadside one. After a KPLC outage, wait for power to settle before plugging back in, since voltage spikes can stress any charger and cable.

Package Contents
Inside the sealed Porodo pack is one Porodo USB-A to USB-C PVC Cable 1.2m in black. There is no wall adapter in the box, so the KSh 600 price buys only the cable, which suits buyers replacing a worn lead for a charger they already own. If your old adapter is damaged too, compatible USB-A and USB-C chargers are sold separately at Mascom International, and our staff will confirm the right match for your phone at the counter.
