The UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 1,600, and it arrives brand new and sealed. This black adapter takes the digital picture from an HDMI laptop, mini PC or set-top box and turns it into the analogue signal a VGA monitor or projector needs. It outputs Full HD 1080p and adds a dedicated power port for setups where the HDMI socket alone cannot feed the converter chip. The UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter is available now at our store in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for trainers, lecturers, church media teams and IT staff, the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter handles the screens that refuse to retire. Schools, county offices and hotel conference rooms across Kenya still run VGA projectors that work perfectly well. The trouble starts when a new laptop, Android TV box or streaming stick has only HDMI, or when a weak HDMI port leaves the picture flickering. Plugging a USB power source into the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter gives the chip its own steady supply. That keeps presentations, sermons and lectures running without a blank screen halfway through.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock one generic adapter for every job, Mascom International carries two UGREEN options so you can match the converter to your equipment. The UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter is the pick when a long VGA run, a set-top box or a low-power HDMI port is involved. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers from Kisumu and Nakuru ask for powered adapters after cheaper ones failed on projectors.

Common Questions About the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter
What is the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter price in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter sells for KSh 1,600 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to every county, with same-day delivery in Nairobi. It costs KSh 300 more than the UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter, which sells at KSh 1,300. That extra KSh 300 pays for the power port, which gives the converter chip its own supply when the HDMI socket cannot.
What does the power port on the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter do?
The power port on the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter feeds the conversion chip directly from a USB source. Most laptops supply enough power through HDMI alone, so the port is optional for them. It matters with streaming sticks, Android TV boxes, decoders and some slim laptops whose HDMI output is weak. It also helps with long VGA cables to ceiling projectors. Plug a USB cable into a phone charger or a spare laptop USB port and the flicker usually stops.
Should I pick the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter or the UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter?
Pick the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter if you use a projector, a set-top box or a long VGA cable, because its power port keeps the signal steady. Pick the UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter at KSh 1,300 for a laptop and a nearby desk monitor. Both output 1080p and carry no sound. The CM611 has a 15cm lead, while the MM105 has a 25cm lead. For lecture halls and boardrooms, the KSh 300 extra is worth it.
Does the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter carry audio?
No, the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter carries picture only, because VGA has no sound channel and this model has no audio jack. Sound will keep playing from your laptop speakers, or you can connect a Bluetooth speaker or a 3.5mm cable from the laptop to the room's sound system. Church media teams and event crews often run audio through a separate mixer anyway, so this setup fits how most halls in Kenya already work.
How does the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter handle KPLC power cuts?
The UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter restarts with your devices once power returns after a KPLC outage, with no settings to redo. If you power it from a laptop USB port, it keeps running on the laptop battery during a blackout, as long as the projector stays on a UPS or generator. Powering it from a wall charger means the picture drops with the mains. For schools and churches with backup power, a laptop USB port is the safer source.
Will the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter work with a decoder or Android TV box?
Yes, the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter suits HDMI decoders, Android TV boxes and streaming sticks, as long as the power port is connected. These devices often send too little power through HDMI to run a converter chip alone. With USB power attached, you can show DStv, GOtv or a streaming app on an old VGA monitor or projector. Remember that VGA carries no audio, so run sound through a separate speaker or the box's own audio output.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter, and who should skip it?
The UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter suits schools, churches, hotels, trainers and offices that connect HDMI devices to VGA projectors or long cable runs. Skip it if you only link a laptop to a desk monitor; the UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter does that job for KSh 300 less. Skip it too if your screen has a DVI port, where the UGREEN HD106 HDMI to DVI Cable gives a sharper, fully digital picture with no chip at all.
Is the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter good for university lecturers?
Yes, the UGREEN CM611 HDMI to VGA Converter is a sound choice for lecturers at the University of Nairobi, Moi or Strathmore, where many lecture rooms still use VGA projectors. It is small enough to keep in a laptop bag with a short USB cable. Plug the HDMI end into the laptop, connect the projector's VGA cable, and add USB power if the image flickers. Press the Windows key and P together to mirror your slides on the projector.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- HDMI male to VGA female conversion — turns a digital HDMI picture into the analogue signal older VGA screens accept.
- Full HD 1080p output — sharp enough for slides, spreadsheets and video on most VGA monitors and projectors in use today.
- Built-in conversion chip — translates the signal inside the adapter, so the laptop needs no software, driver or setting change.
- One-way design — runs from an HDMI source to a VGA display only; it cannot send a VGA computer to an HDMI screen.
- Picture only — no audio jack or sound channel, so audio plays from the laptop, a Bluetooth speaker or a mixer.
Power Port
- Dedicated power socket — accepts a USB power supply that feeds the conversion chip separately from the HDMI port.
- Optional with most laptops — many laptops send enough power through HDMI, so the port stays unused for simple desk setups.
- Needed for low-output sources — streaming sticks, Android TV boxes and decoders often require it to show a stable image.
- Steadier long runs — extra supply helps the signal hold up over longer VGA cables to ceiling-mounted projectors.
- Flexible power sources — draws from a spare laptop USB port, a phone charger or a power bank during outages.
Compatibility
- Laptops and desktops — works with full-size HDMI ports on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS machines, no installation needed.
- Projectors and monitors — connects to any VGA input, the blue port with fifteen pins found on older screens.
- Set-top boxes and sticks — shows decoders, Android TV boxes and streaming sticks on a VGA screen with power attached.
- USB-C laptops — connect through a USB-C to HDMI adapter first, available separately at Mascom International.
- Display shortcut — press the Windows key and P together to mirror or extend your screen once the projector is detected.
Build
- 15cm attached lead — a short, flexible cable that eases strain on the laptop's HDMI port when the adapter hangs off the side.
- Compact black housing — small enough to keep in a laptop bag pocket or a projector kit without taking space.
- UGREEN build quality — a brand known for shielded, well-finished leads rather than the loose plugs common on unbranded adapters.
- Moulded connector ends — protect the joints where the lead meets the plugs, the point where cheap adapters usually fail.
- Plug-and-play operation — the converter starts working as soon as both ends connect, with nothing to switch or configure.
Inclusions
- Factory-sealed UGREEN packaging — check the seal at collection or on delivery before you pay.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- In-store testing — our team will connect it to a VGA screen at the counter so you see it working first.
- Black colour — matches most laptops, projector kits and cable bags, and hides scuffs from daily packing.
- Separate VGA cable required — the converter ends in a VGA socket, so a VGA cable from the screen completes the link; most projectors already have one.
- Power cable sourced separately — use any USB cable that fits the port with a phone charger or laptop USB socket; ask our team to match one.
