UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender is available at Mascom International for KSh 12,500, a brand new and sealed transmitter and receiver pair that carries 4K 30Hz video up to 50 metres without a cable. The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender sends picture and sound over the 5GHz band from any HDMI source to a TV, monitor or projector. The receiver offers HDMI, VGA and 3.5mm audio outputs, so older projectors still connect. Both units run on 5V USB-C power. Walk into our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and see it running before you pay.
Built for event organisers, church media teams, hotel managers and lecturers across Kenya, the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender removes the long HDMI run that trips people up. Picture a Nakuru conference hall where the laptop sits at the front desk and the projector hangs at the back. A 30-metre cable costs money, gets stepped on and fails at the worst moment. Plug the transmitter into the laptop, the receiver into the projector, and the picture appears with no driver to install. Office teams in Upper Hill and Westlands use the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender to carry a decoder signal to a second room.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unnamed wireless extenders with no model code, Mascom International stocks the genuine UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender in its sealed UGREEN box. Customers across Nairobi tell us the VGA output is what sold them, because many school and church projectors still lack HDMI. We also stock the UGREEN CM586 Wireless HDMI Extender at KSh 14,000 for buyers who want built-in antennas instead of external ones. Visit the store Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender
How much is the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender costs KSh 12,500, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the transmitter, the receiver and the USB power cables, plus our 6-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival in all 47 counties, so you inspect the box before handing over cash or paying by M-Pesa. The UGREEN CM586 Wireless HDMI Extender costs KSh 1,500 more at KSh 14,000, worth knowing if you are weighing the two kits side by side.
Should I choose the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender or the UGREEN CM586 Wireless HDMI Extender?
Both kits carry 4K 30Hz video up to 50 metres, and both receivers offer HDMI, VGA and 3.5mm audio outputs. The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender uses an external antenna on each unit that you can angle toward the other in a long hall. The UGREEN CM586 Wireless HDMI Extender uses built-in antennas and lists HDCP 2.2 support for protected streaming. We could not confirm every other difference behind the KSh 1,500 gap, so message us on WhatsApp and we will compare both boxes for you.
Does the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender keep working through KPLC power cuts?
The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender needs only 5V at 1A on each unit, so a small power bank or UPS can keep it running when KPLC drops the line. Each unit takes power through a USB-C port, and any 5V 1A phone charger will run it. For church services and events in Kisumu or Eldoret, put the laptop, the projector and both extender units on a UPS together, because the picture stops the moment any one of them loses power.
How far can the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender send a picture through walls?
The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender reaches up to 50 metres in open space with clear line of sight between the units. Walls, steel doors and thick stone partitions cut that distance, so plan for shorter range between rooms. It transmits on the 5GHz band, which carries more data but weakens faster through concrete than 2.4GHz. For the best link, keep the two antennas visible to each other, raise the receiver above head height, and keep it away from metal racks.
Can I connect the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender to an old VGA projector?
Yes, the receiver on the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender has a VGA output alongside its HDMI output, so older projectors connect directly. Many lecture halls and church halls across Kenya still run VGA-only projectors bought years ago. You will need a standard VGA cable from the receiver to the projector, sold at Mascom International. The separate 3.5mm audio output sends sound to a speaker or mixer, because a VGA cable carries picture only and no audio.
Is the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender good for gaming on a PS5?
The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender suits casual play, not fast competitive games. Its 4K signal tops out at 30Hz, while a PlayStation 5 Slim connected by cable can run far smoother frame rates. UGREEN describes the delay as low but publishes no figure, so we cannot promise it will feel instant in shooters or racing titles. For a relaxed football match with friends in another room it works; for serious online play, keep the console wired to the screen.
Can one UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender feed two screens at once?
The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender pairs one transmitter with one receiver, so it is a point-to-point kit rather than a system that broadcasts to many rooms. The receiver carries both HDMI and VGA outputs, but UGREEN's specifications do not state whether both run at the same moment. If you need two displays, message us on WhatsApp at +254 708 852 521 and we will test it in the store before you buy. Larger setups need a dedicated multi-receiver system.
Who is the UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender right for, and who should skip it?
The UGREEN CM506 Wireless HDMI Extender fits lecturers, pastors, event crews, hotel managers and office administrators who move a laptop or decoder picture to a distant screen. It suits buyers who still rely on VGA projectors and want one kit that covers old and new displays. Skip it if a short HDMI cable can already reach, because a cable costs less and adds no delay. Gamers who want 4K at 60Hz should also keep a direct cable connection instead.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Video Signal
- 4K at 30Hz video output — sharp Ultra HD picture for slides, films and spreadsheets, though fast motion looks less fluid than 60Hz.
- 1080p at 60Hz mode — smoother motion for sport and video when Full HD is enough for the screen in use.
- Up to 50 metres in open space — reaches across a hall, a church or an open-plan office with no cable run.
- 5GHz wireless transmission — carries heavy video data with less crowding than the 2.4GHz band most home routers lean on.
- Picture and sound over one link — no separate audio cable from the laptop or decoder to the far end of the room.
- Mirror or extend display modes — a laptop can show the same screen or treat the far display as a second desktop.
Compatibility
- HDMI input on the transmitter — accepts laptops, desktop PCs, decoders, Blu-ray players, cameras and game consoles with a standard HDMI port.
- HDMI output on the receiver — connects to modern TVs, monitors and projectors without any adapter in between.
- VGA output on the receiver — keeps older projectors and monitors in service, so there is no need to replace working hardware.
- 3.5mm audio output on the receiver — sends sound to a powered speaker, amplifier or church mixing desk.
- No driver or software needed — works with Windows laptops and MacBooks alike because the source simply sees a normal display.
- Laptops with only USB-C video need a USB-C to HDMI adapter, which Mascom International stocks at the counter.
Build and Antennas
- Two external antennas, one per unit — raising and angling them toward each other gives the strongest link over distance.
- Separate transmitter and receiver housings — leave the receiver fixed behind a projector and carry only the transmitter between laptops.
- Grey casing — blends into AV racks, ceiling shelves and boardroom walls without drawing attention during a presentation.
- Point-to-point design — one transmitter pairs with one receiver, giving a dedicated link for a single screen.
- Small footprint on each unit — sits on a lectern, a TV cabinet or a projector bracket without needing a rack.
Power and Setup
- 5V 1A power on each unit — a phone charger, power bank or small UPS can run either end of the link.
- USB-C power port on both units — a common modern connector, so a spare cable is easy to find.
- USB-A to USB-C power cables in the kit — plug into a wall charger or a USB socket that supplies 1A.
- Plug-and-play setup — connect the source and the screen, power both units, and the picture appears without menus to learn.
- Line of sight matters — keeping the antennas in view of each other gives the full rated range, while walls shorten it.
Inclusions
- Transmitter unit — the sending end, connected to your laptop, decoder, camera or console by HDMI.
- Receiver unit — the screen end, with HDMI, VGA and 3.5mm audio outputs for every type of display.
- USB-A to USB-C power cables — power for both units from any 5V USB charger.
- Sealed UGREEN retail box with the CM506 model code printed on it — a quick check that the kit is genuine.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — manufacturing defects handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
