The UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 2,000, brand new and sealed. The UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter plugs into the VGA port of an older computer and sends the picture to any screen with an HDMI input at up to 1920 x 1080 and 60Hz. A 3.5mm audio input lets the computer's sound travel over the same HDMI cable, and a USB-C port takes power for the conversion. Collect it from our store in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order for delivery.
Designed for small business owners, accountants, cyber café operators, school bursars and church media teams, the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter handles one stubborn problem. The old office desktop still runs payroll, KRA iTax filings or the shop's stock system perfectly, but the new monitor or television only takes HDMI. Replacing a working computer to match a screen wastes money. The adapter bridges the gap, so a tower in Industrial Area or a Kisumu school office keeps working with modern displays, and its sound plays through the TV speakers.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell plain VGA-to-HDMI cables which show a blank screen, Mascom International stocks the powered UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter, which actively converts the signal. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from offices upgrading screens before they upgrade computers. Buyers throughout Kenya report the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter is the cheapest way to put a sharp picture on a new television.

Common Questions About the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter
What is the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter price in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter sells for KSh 2,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. The price covers the 6-month Mascom International warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties, so you check the adapter before paying cash or by M-Pesa. If your laptop has HDMI and the projector has VGA, you need the opposite device, the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter, at KSh 2,500, which costs KSh 500 more.
Why choose the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter over a cheap VGA-to-HDMI cable?
The UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter contains an active converter chip, while most cheap VGA-to-HDMI cables carry no electronics and leave the screen blank. VGA is an analogue signal and HDMI is digital, so something must translate between them. That is why the adapter has a USB-C power port. A plain cable only works the other way, from a source that already outputs both signals. If you have bought a cheap cable that showed nothing, this adapter is the fix.
Does the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter need power, and what happens during a KPLC outage?
Yes, the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter draws power through its USB-C port, usually from a spare USB socket on the same computer. Because it shares the computer's power, it stays on whenever the computer is on. During a KPLC outage, a desktop on a UPS keeps the adapter running, which matters for shops and offices in Nairobi that run billing on old towers. Without a UPS, the computer and screen go off anyway, and the adapter restarts with them when power returns.
How do I get sound through HDMI with the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter?
Connect a 3.5mm audio cable from the computer's green headphone jack to the 3.5mm input on the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter. VGA carries only the picture, so this lead brings the sound in, and the adapter combines it with the video on the HDMI output. Your television or monitor speakers then play everything. Set the computer's sound output to its headphone or speaker jack in Windows sound settings. Skip the audio lead if you use separate desktop speakers.
What picture quality does the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter give?
The UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter outputs up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz, which is Full HD. Spreadsheets, accounting software, web pages and video look clear on a 24-inch monitor or a 43-inch television at that resolution. For the sharpest result, set the computer's display resolution to 1920 x 1080 in its settings. Older machines that cannot reach Full HD will show their own top resolution instead, which the screen then scales up. Text stays readable for everyday office work.
Can I connect an old office desktop to a new TV for a shop or reception display?
Yes, the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter lets an old desktop drive a wall-mounted television for menus, price lists, queue screens or CCTV views. Restaurants, pharmacies and salons across Nairobi use this setup to avoid buying a separate media player. Run an HDMI cable of the length you need from the adapter to the TV, and power the adapter from the computer's USB port. A 3.5mm lead adds sound for adverts or background music played from the computer.
Which computers work with the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter?
The UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter suits any desktop, laptop or mini PC with a standard 15-pin VGA output. That covers older Dell OptiPlex, HP Compaq and Lenovo ThinkCentre towers common in Kenyan offices, plus older laptops with a blue VGA port. No driver is needed, because the computer simply sees a VGA screen. The other end connects to any monitor, television or projector with HDMI input. A spare USB socket for power is the only other requirement.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter if your computer only has VGA and your new screen only has HDMI, a common mix in schools, SACCO offices and family businesses. Skip it if your laptop already has an HDMI port, because a direct HDMI cable gives a cleaner picture. Skip it as well when you need to send an HDMI laptop to a VGA projector; the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter does that. Gamers wanting high refresh rates should upgrade the graphics card instead.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Signal Conversion
- VGA male plug on the input side — fits the blue 15-pin VGA port found on older desktops and laptops.
- HDMI female socket on the output — accepts any standard HDMI cable running to the television, monitor or projector.
- Active analogue-to-digital conversion — translates VGA's analogue picture into the digital signal HDMI screens expect.
- Output of up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz — Full HD with smooth motion for documents, web browsing and video.
- One-way conversion from VGA to HDMI only — it will not send an HDMI source to a VGA screen.
Audio and Power
- 3.5mm audio input — brings sound from the computer's headphone jack so HDMI carries picture and audio together.
- Built-in audio embedding — TV or monitor speakers play the computer's sound with no separate speaker set needed.
- USB-C power port — the converter chip draws power from a spare USB socket on the computer or a phone charger.
- Low power draw from USB — runs from the same UPS as the desktop during KPLC outages.
- Plug-and-play setup — no drivers or software, so it suits locked office computers where downloads are blocked.
Build and Durability
- PC and ABS plastic housing — light and rigid enough to sit behind a desk or hang from a TV wall bracket.
- 15cm lead between the VGA plug and the converter body — keeps weight off the computer's VGA port.
- Compact body — tucks behind a monitor or inside a TV cabinet without crowding other cables.
- Black finish — disappears against the back of most desktops, monitors and televisions.
- Screw-free VGA plug fitting — push in firmly; the short lead limits strain on the port during daily use.
