Mascom International stocks the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter at KSh 1,000, brand new and sealed, with an aluminium alloy shell, 3A charging support and USB 3.0 data transfer. It turns any standard USB-A port into a Type-C socket, so a modern phone cable, SSD or flash drive works on older hardware. The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter is made by UGREEN and also carries the product code 50533. It is on the shelf at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, ready to collect or deliver.
Built for field engineers, photographers, NGO field staff and logistics coordinators across Kenya, the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter is the single adapter you keep on you every day. A metal case survives keyrings, toolboxes and car cup holders far better than thin plastic. Picture a site visit in Athi River where the only free port is on a client's old desktop, or a road trip to Naivasha with a USB-A car charger. The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter lets your Type-C cable work in both places. It handles 3A charging current where the power source supplies it, and it moves files at USB 3.0 speed.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that hand over whatever converter is cheapest that week, Mascom International sells the genuine UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter with its standard 56K pull-up resistor, the part that keeps phone charging within safe limits. Customers across Nairobi tell us the aluminium body is why they choose it over cheaper plastic options. At Mascom International, we're seeing photographers and drone operators pair it with Type-C card readers. Come to Kimathi Street to try it on your own cable, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter
How much is the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter in Kenya?
The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter costs KSh 1,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new in sealed UGREEN packaging. The price covers one aluminium adapter, a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, payable by cash or M-Pesa. It is KSh 300 more than the UGREEN US701 two-adapter pack at KSh 700, which trades the metal shell for a pair of adapters and a higher speed rating.
Is the UGREEN US276 better than the UGREEN US701 2-Pack at KSh 700?
The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter is the better pick when durability matters more than quantity. It has an aluminium alloy shell and a stated 3A charging rating, and it costs KSh 1,000 for one. The UGREEN US701 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter 2-Pack costs KSh 700 for two and is rated at 10Gbps, double the US276's 5Gbps. Pick the US276 for a keyring, toolbox or car. Pick the US701 for two desks or the fastest Type-C SSD transfers.
How well does the US276's aluminium shell handle dust, heat and coastal humidity in Kenya?
The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter's aluminium alloy shell copes well with Kenyan conditions that crack or warp plastic adapters. It shrugs off the heat of a car dashboard in Garissa and the knocks of a boda boda ride in a pocket. In humid Mombasa or Malindi, store it in a dry pouch so the contacts stay clean. During the dry season, tap dust out of the Type-C socket before plugging in, which keeps the connection firm.
Who should buy the UGREEN US276, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter if you want one tough adapter that lives on your keys or in a work bag. It suits engineers, drivers and photographers who use it daily. Skip it if you need two adapters or the full 10Gbps speed; the UGREEN US701 2-Pack at KSh 700 serves you better. Skip it as well if you are joining two USB-A cables; the UGREEN US381 USB 3.0 Female to Female Adapter at KSh 800 is built for that.
What does 3A charging support mean on the US276, and will it fast-charge my phone?
The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter can carry up to 3A of current, so it will not choke a strong charger. The adapter itself does not create fast charging, though. Your speed comes from the USB-A charger or power bank at the other end. A standard USB-A wall charger gives normal charging, while a USB-A fast charger that supports your phone gives quicker top-ups. For the fastest charging on newer phones, a Type-C charger and cable remain the better option.
How fast can the UGREEN US276 copy files from a Type-C drive?
The UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter is rated at up to 5Gbps, the USB 3.0 standard, when connected to a USB 3.0 port. That is about 625MB per second in theory, though real copies are slower and depend on the drive. In practice, a few gigabytes of photos move in well under a minute from a good Type-C SSD. On an older USB 2.0 port, the same transfer drops to 480Mbps and takes noticeably longer.
Is the 56K resistor in the UGREEN US276 safe for my phone's battery?
Yes, the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter uses the standard 56K pull-up resistor set by the Type-C specification. That small part tells your phone how much current it may safely draw from a USB-A source. Poorly made converters sometimes use the wrong value, which can let a phone pull more current than an older port or charger can supply. This matters more during KPLC outages, when people charge from unfamiliar power banks and car sockets.
Can I use the US276 with a PlayStation 5, smart TV or car stereo?
Yes, the UGREEN US276 USB-A Male to USB-C Female Adapter fits any USB-A port, including those on a PlayStation 5, smart TV, decoder or car stereo. You can charge a Type-C game controller from the console, play films from a Type-C flash drive on a TV, or charge your phone from the dashboard on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway. Whether the TV or stereo reads a particular drive depends on that device's own file support, not the adapter.
