The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub is available at Mascom International for KSh 8,900, brand new and sealed, in the Dark finish. It turns one USB-C port on your laptop into 13 connections: 4K HDMI video at 60Hz, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A ports rated up to 10Gbps, a USB-C data port, SD and microSD card readers, a 3.5mm AUX jack and a 100W Power Delivery input for pass-through charging. Its aluminium shell spreads heat from the electronics inside during long workdays. You can see and test the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub at our store in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for accountants, lawyers, architects and content creators across Kenya, the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub solves a common problem with thin modern laptops. A MacBook Air or a slim Windows ultrabook with only two USB-C ports leaves no room for a monitor, a flash drive, a wired network and a charger at once. Plug this hub in, and a desk in Upper Hill or Westlands becomes a full workstation through one cable. Photographers can offload SD cards after a wedding shoot, while finance teams keep a wired link to the office network for KRA iTax filing and banking portals.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unbranded hubs which overheat or drop the screen signal, Mascom International stocks the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub as sealed retail stock with a warranty you can claim over the counter. At Mascom International, we're seeing more office buyers replace a tangle of single adapters with one hub that stays on the desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us the wired Ethernet port alone has rescued video calls when Wi-Fi struggles. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to test the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub with your own laptop, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub
How much is the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub in Kenya?
The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub costs KSh 8,900 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the hub in its Dark finish, a 6-month warranty handled at our service desk, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. No wall charger is included, since the hub uses your existing laptop charger. In the same range, the Powerology 12-in-1 USB-C Hub sells for KSh 7,500, which is KSh 1,400 less, and the Powerology 6-in-1 Slim USB-C Hub sells for KSh 5,300, which is KSh 3,600 less.
What ports does the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub have?
The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub packs 13 connections into one aluminium body. Video goes out through 4K HDMI at 60Hz. Data runs through several USB-A ports, the fastest rated USB 3.2 at 10Gbps, plus a USB-C data port for phones and accessories. A Gigabit Ethernet socket takes a wired network cable, SD and microSD slots read camera and phone cards, and a 3.5mm AUX jack handles headphones or speakers. A 100W USB-C Power Delivery input lets your laptop charger feed power through the hub.
Will the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub charge my laptop while I use it?
Yes, the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub passes up to 100W from your USB-C charger through to the laptop while every other port stays active. Plug the charger into the hub's Power Delivery input, then connect the hub to the laptop. The hub keeps a small share of that power for its own ports, so the laptop receives slightly less than the charger's full rating. With a 65W ultrabook charger this makes little practical difference; a 100W workstation may charge a little slower under heavy load.
Is the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub worth KSh 1,400 more than the Powerology 12-in-1 USB-C Hub?
The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub is worth the extra KSh 1,400 mainly if you want an extra socket in one block. Both hubs carry 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD readers, an audio jack, 10Gbps USB ports and 100W charging. The Powerology 12-in-1 USB-C Hub, at KSh 7,500, is confirmed for two 4K screens through its HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. Pick the 13-in-1 for the extra connection; pick the 12-in-1 for two monitors at a lower price. Confirm either port layout with us on WhatsApp.
Does the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub keep working during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub keeps working during KPLC power cuts because it draws power from your laptop, not the wall. When the mains drops, charging through the hub stops, but your flash drives, keyboard, mouse and headphones stay connected while the laptop runs on battery. An external monitor and your fibre router still need mains power, so put them on a small UPS if you must stay online. Buyers in Nakuru and Kisumu tell us this setup keeps them on client calls through evening blackouts.
Can photographers offload camera cards with the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub?
Yes, the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub has both a full-size SD slot and a microSD slot, so it reads cards from DSLR and mirrorless cameras, drones and action cameras. Event photographers can copy a day's shoot straight to a laptop without carrying a separate card reader. Pair it with a portable SSD on one of the 10Gbps USB ports and you can back up the same files in one sitting. Transfer speed also depends on the card's own rating, so a faster card finishes sooner.
Does the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub work with MacBooks, iPads and Android phones?
The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub is rated for Windows laptops, MacBooks, USB-C iPads and Android devices. For video, your device's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode; most modern laptops and USB-C iPads do, but some budget laptops and phones carry data only. The number of screens that run at once also depends on the computer: a MacBook Air with an M1 or M2 chip drives only one external display. Bring your device to our Kimathi Street store and we will test it with you.
Who should buy the Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub, and who should skip it?
The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub suits office workers, creators and university students who leave a laptop docked at one desk and want every connection ready. It fits a home office or a shared study room well. Skip it if you travel daily and only need a screen and a flash drive; the pocket-sized Powerology 6-in-1 Slim USB-C Hub at KSh 5,300 slides into a laptop sleeve more easily. If two monitors at a lower cost matter most, the Powerology 12-in-1 USB-C Hub at KSh 7,500 is the stronger fit.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Port Layout
- 13 connections from one USB-C plug — replaces a drawer full of single adapters with one block on the desk.
- 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C data, SD, microSD and 3.5mm AUX — the full set for office, studio and lecture work.
- 100W USB-C Power Delivery input — your laptop charger plugs into the hub, so one cable to the laptop carries power and data.
- Hub design, meaning it adds ports rather than replacing anything inside your laptop — unplug one cable and the laptop is free to travel.
- All ports share one USB-C link back to the laptop — heavy file copies and 4K video draw on the same connection at once.
Video Output
- HDMI output at 4K resolution and 60Hz — sharp text and fluid scrolling on a 4K monitor or television.
- 4K means 3840 by 2160 pixels, four times the detail of Full HD — spreadsheets show more rows and columns at once.
- 60Hz means the picture refreshes 60 times every second — mouse movement and video playback look fluid rather than choppy.
- Needs a laptop USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode — the built-in video feature most modern laptops include, which we check in store.
- Works with HDMI monitors, televisions and projectors — present in a boardroom, church hall or lecture theatre from the same hub.
Data Transfer and Card Reading
- USB-A ports rated up to 10Gbps on USB 3.2 — fast enough for portable SSDs, external drives and large video projects.
- 10Gbps equals about 1.25GB per second in theory — real speeds depend on the drive, the cable and the laptop port.
- Spare USB-A sockets for low-speed devices — a keyboard, mouse, printer cable or wireless receiver each get their own port.
- USB-C data port — connects phones and accessories with a USB-C plug, so newer gadgets need no extra adapter.
- Full-size SD and microSD slots — read camera, drone and phone memory cards without carrying a separate card reader.
Charging and Power Delivery
- 100W USB-C Power Delivery pass-through — charge the laptop through the hub while every port stays in use.
- Power Delivery is the USB-C charging standard — the charger and laptop agree on a safe charging level automatically.
- The hub keeps a small share of incoming power for its own ports — laptop charging runs slightly below the charger's rating.
- Works with the USB-C charger you already own — a 65W ultrabook charger or a 100W workstation charger both suit it.
- Runs from the laptop battery when no charger is connected — the ports stay live during travel or a blackout.
Compatibility and Network
- Windows laptops with video-capable USB-C ports — HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS and Acer models drive the HDMI screen directly.
- MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with USB-C or Thunderbolt — use the screen, network, card and USB ports from one plug.
- USB-C iPad models — add a keyboard, flash drive, wired network or external screen for presentations and editing.
- Android phones and tablets with USB-C — read flash drives and cards; video needs a phone that supports display output.
- Gigabit Ethernet at 1000Mbps — connects to any fibre or office router with a standard network cable for steadier calls.
Build and Inclusions
- Aluminium housing — sturdier than plastic hubs and better at spreading heat across long working sessions.
- Dark finish — the colour in stock at Mascom International, a close match for space grey and black laptops.
- Sealed Powerology retail box — the unit is untouched, and you are the first person to open it.
- No wall charger in the package — the hub reuses your laptop's existing USB-C charger, which keeps the cost down.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled in person at our service desk.
Package Contents
The Powerology 13-in-1 USB-C Hub comes in a sealed Powerology retail box, so you are the first person to open it. Inside is the hub itself in its Dark aluminium finish. A wall charger is not part of the package, because the hub runs on your laptop's existing USB-C charger through its 100W input. Compatible USB-C chargers, HDMI cables and network cables are sold separately at Mascom International, and we can open the box at the counter so you can check the unit before paying.
Warranty
