The Powerology 100W USB-C to USB-C V3.1 5Gbps Metal Plug Nylon Braided Cable, 2 meters long, is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,800, located at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This Powerology cable carries up to 100 watts of Power Delivery (20V/5A) for laptops and 5Gbps data transfer over USB 3.1. The metal connector housing and woven jacket handle daily plugging and bag travel. One cable covers charging and file transfer for almost every USB-C device sold in Kenya today.
Most buyers reach for this Powerology 100W USB-C to USB-C because the thin cables bundled with phones cannot push 100W to a laptop or move files at full speed. A MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, or HP Spectre needs a 5A-rated cable with an E-Marker chip to charge at full wattage, and a 5Gbps line to copy footage off an SSD without waiting. This 2-meter length reaches from a wall socket to a sofa, a meeting table, or a hotel bed without forcing you to sit beside the plug. It solves both the charging gap and the slow-transfer problem in a single accessory.
Tech professionals in Westlands and Kilimani, content creators backing up footage, and students at Strathmore and USIU rely on one cable that does both jobs. Unlike the no-name cables sold at many electronics retailers in Kenya, this Powerology cable states its 100W and 5Gbps ratings clearly and backs them with a verified E-Marker chip. Users report it charges a 13-inch laptop from flat in roughly two hours when paired with a 100W charger. Buy it at our Nairobi CBD store or order for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
Questions Buyers Ask About the Powerology 100W USB-C to USB-C V3.1 5Gbps Metal Plug Nylon Braided Cable
What devices can the Powerology 100W cable charge?
The Powerology 100W USB-C to USB-C cable charges almost any USB-C device, from phones and tablets up to 16-inch laptops. The 5A rating with its E-Marker chip lets it deliver the full 100 watts (20V/5A) that MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, HP Spectre, and Lenovo ThinkPad models need. Smaller devices like a Samsung Galaxy phone, an iPad, or Bluetooth earbuds draw only what they require, so the same cable handles your whole desk. Actual speed still depends on the wall charger you pair with it.
Is 100 watts enough to charge a laptop fully?
Yes, 100 watts charges most laptops at their full rated speed. A 13-inch or 14-inch laptop typically pulls 60W to 96W, so the cable's 100W ceiling leaves headroom. Paired with a 100W USB-C wall charger, a flat 13-inch laptop reaches full battery in around two hours. Larger 16-inch gaming laptops that demand 140W or more will still charge, but at a slower trickle rate during heavy use. For everyday work, 100W covers nearly every USB-C laptop on the Kenyan market.
What does the 5Gbps USB 3.1 rating actually mean?
The 5Gbps rating means this cable moves data ten times faster than the 480Mbps cables packed with most phones. USB 3.1 Gen 1 at 5Gbps copies a 4GB video file in seconds rather than minutes, which matters when you back up phone footage or move files off a portable SSD. Many cheap braided cables look identical but only carry USB 2.0 speeds. This Powerology cable is built for both fast charging and fast transfer, not charging alone.
Why does this cable have metal connector plugs?
The metal connector housing protects the most fragile part of any cable, where the plug meets the wire. Aluminium-alloy shells resist crushing inside a bag and dissipate heat better than plastic during 100W charging. The metal collar also grips the port firmly so the plug does not wobble loose mid-charge. Combined with the woven nylon jacket along the length, the build targets the two failure points that kill most cables: bent connectors and frayed wire near the ends.
Will the Powerology cable work with my MacBook and iPhone 15?
Yes, this Powerology cable works with USB-C MacBooks and the iPhone 15 and 16 series, plus any Android phone with a USB-C port. It charges a MacBook Air or Pro at full speed with a matching charger and tops up an iPhone 15 quickly over Power Delivery. It also fits iPad Pro, iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets, Google Pixel, and the Nintendo Switch. Because USB-C is now the standard port across Kenya, one cable replaces the tangle of mismatched leads in your bag.
How long is the cable and where does that help?
The cable measures 2 meters, long enough to reach from a wall socket to where you actually sit. That length suits a Nairobi home office where the nearest plug sits across the room, a co-working desk in Kilimani, or a hotel bed during upcountry travel. It also helps content creators who need slack between a laptop and a camera or SSD on a shoot. Shorter 1-meter cables force you to crowd the socket, while this 2-meter run keeps you comfortable.
Does the cable get tangled or wear out quickly?
No, the woven nylon jacket resists tangling and frays far slower than plain rubber cables. Powerology rates its braided cables to survive 15,000-plus bends, so the line tolerates daily winding into a bag, matatu commutes, and being yanked from sockets. The metal plug ends add a second layer of protection where most cables crack first. For buyers tired of replacing a cheap cable every few months, the build is the main reason this one lasts longer.
Is this cable safe for fast charging my expensive laptop?
Yes, the built-in E-Marker chip makes 100W charging safe for costly devices. The chip tells the charger and laptop exactly how much current the cable can carry, so it never pushes more power than the wire safely handles. This guards against overheating and protects both the cable and your device. A cable without an E-Marker chip cannot legally deliver 5A, which is why uncertified cables stall at 60W. This Powerology cable holds the certification needed for full 100W delivery.
