UGREEN CM162 4-in-1 USB-C Adapter is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,500, available today at our Nairobi CBD store. This compact Type-C hub combines a 4K HDMI 1.4b output, a Full HD VGA port, a USB-A 3.0 data port, and a 100W USB-C Power Delivery passthrough into a single aluminum housing. The UGREEN CM162 plugs directly into the USB-C port on your laptop, tablet, or phone and works without drivers or software. Find the UGREEN CM162 at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
The UGREEN CM162 is built for Kenya's hybrid workforce moving between modern conference rooms and older boardrooms still wired for VGA. Sales teams pitching at Sarit Centre, lecturers presenting at University of Nairobi and Strathmore lecture halls, NGO field staff connecting laptops to projectors in Turkana and Marsabit, and IT consultants servicing client offices across Westlands all face the same daily problem. New laptops ship with USB-C only, while many displays, projectors, and meeting room screens in Kenya still use HDMI or VGA. The UGREEN CM162 solves that mismatch in one pocket-sized adapter.
At Mascom International, we're seeing daily demand for the UGREEN CM162 from customers who own MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, and other USB-C laptops. Users consistently report the UGREEN CM162 saves them from carrying separate HDMI dongles, VGA cables, and USB hubs. Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM162 with verified genuine UGREEN packaging and backs every unit with a Mascom warranty. Walk in to test the adapter against your own laptop, or order for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM162
What is the UGREEN CM162 4-in-1 USB-C Adapter?
The UGREEN CM162 is a multi-port adapter that converts a single USB-C port into four usable connections: 4K HDMI video output, 1080p VGA video output, USB-A 3.0 for data transfer, and USB-C Power Delivery passthrough up to 100W. The HDMI 1.4b port supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz, and the VGA port supports resolutions up to 1080p at 60Hz. The adapter works plug-and-play, requires no drivers, and ships with UGREEN's aluminum housing for heat dissipation during extended use.
Will the UGREEN CM162 work with my MacBook, Dell XPS, or HP laptop?
Yes, the UGREEN CM162 works with any laptop, tablet, or phone whose USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode video output. It works seamlessly with USB-C devices like MacBook Pro/Air, iPad Pro, Dell XPS, HP Envy, Lenovo ThinkPad, Galaxy Tab, and more. If your USB-C port carries data only and does not support video output, the HDMI and VGA outputs will not function. Most laptops sold in Kenya from 2018 onward support video over USB-C. Check your laptop spec sheet or bring it to Mascom International for testing before purchase.
How does the UGREEN CM162 handle dual displays at the same time?
The UGREEN CM162 supports simultaneous HDMI and VGA output, letting you mirror or extend your laptop screen across two external monitors at once. HDMI support 1.4b version, 3D and 4K 2K at 30Hz, VGA support 1080P at 60Hz, HDMI plus VGA support 1080P at 60Hz, supports mirror mode and extended mode. When both ports run together, both outputs drop to 1080p at 60Hz. This setup suits accountants reviewing spreadsheets across two screens, real estate agents showing property listings on dual displays, and trainers presenting to mixed-display classrooms.
Does the UGREEN CM162 charge my laptop while connected?
Yes, the USB-C PD passthrough port accepts up to 100W charging from your laptop's original USB-C charger. Plug your laptop's wall adapter into the CM162's PD port, and your MacBook, ThinkPad, or XPS charges at full speed while the HDMI, VGA, and USB-A ports remain active. This single-cable setup keeps your desk clean during long presentations at Upper Hill boardrooms or all-day teaching sessions at Strathmore, USIU, and JKUAT campuses. Pair it with a 65W or 100W UGREEN GaN charger from Mascom International for matched performance.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.4b on the CM162 and HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 adapters?
HDMI 1.4b on the UGREEN CM162 supports 4K at 30Hz, which suits presentations, document review, video playback, and static content. It does not support 4K at 60Hz, which competitive gaming and high-frame-rate video editing require. For everyday business use in Kenya, conference room projection, Zoom meetings on external displays, and connecting to office monitors, HDMI 1.4b at 4K 30Hz is sufficient. Customers who need 4K at 60Hz output should look at UGREEN's HDMI 2.0 docking station range, also stocked at Mascom International.
Can the UGREEN CM162 connect my laptop to a Kenyan office projector?
Yes, and this is one of its most useful Kenya-market roles. Many projectors in Nairobi offices, county government boardrooms, school computer labs, and hotel conference rooms in Mombasa and Kisumu still use VGA inputs. The CM162's dedicated VGA port handles 1080p output to these older projectors directly. Newer HDMI projectors and large-format LED screens in modern facilities like KICC, Sarit Centre conference rooms, and Radisson Blu meeting spaces connect through the HDMI port. One adapter covers both venue types.
Does the USB-A 3.0 port on the CM162 transfer files quickly enough for daily use?
Yes, USB 3.0 supports data transfer up to 5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth, with real-world transfer speeds typically reaching 400-600 MB per second on quality flash drives and external SSDs. A 4GB MP4 video copies in around 10 seconds, and a 32GB USB drive backs up in roughly 90 seconds. The port handles mice, keyboards, external hard drives, SanDisk flash drives, and Logitech wireless dongles without performance loss. It does not transmit video, only data and power.
How does the UGREEN CM162 compare to multi-port hubs costing KSh 7,000 or more?
The UGREEN CM162 covers the four most-used connections for KSh 3,500, which represents the practical minimum for laptop expansion in Kenya. Larger UGREEN hubs at KSh 7,000-12,000 add Ethernet, SD card slots, microSD readers, and additional USB-A ports. If you mostly present to displays, charge your laptop, and plug in one USB accessory, the CM162 covers it. If you need wired Gigabit Ethernet for stable video calls or SD card import for photography work, step up to UGREEN's 9-in-1 or 10-in-1 hub range at Mascom International.
