Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 360, brand new and sealed in its retail box. One end fits the classic rectangular USB-A port found on most wall adapters, laptops and power banks. The other end fits the small oval, reversible Type-C port on most Android phones, iPhone 15 and later, iPads and many laptops. The Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable belongs to Amaya's silicone-cord 30 series, so its lead is wrapped in soft silicone instead of hard PVC. Amaya is a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, and you can pick this cable up at Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for university students, sales teams and logistics coordinators across Kenya, the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable handles the daily job of keeping a Type-C phone alive. Cheap cables crack at the neck after a few weeks stuffed into matatu seat pockets and boda boda jackets. A dead phone then means no M-Pesa, no maps and no calls from clients. A silicone jacket stays soft and supple, which is kinder to a cable that gets coiled and uncoiled all day. Plug the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable into a power bank during a KPLC outage, a laptop at the office, or the adapter you already own in your hostel room.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded leads in plain bags, Mascom International stocks the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable sealed, with a 6-month warranty behind it. That matters because a fake cable looks identical to a real one until it stops charging. Customers across Nairobi tell us they would rather buy one good silicone cable than replace a cheap one every month. Test it on your own phone at our Kimathi Street counter, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable
How much is the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable costs KSh 360 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the sealed cable in its retail box and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. No wall adapter is included, so it works with one you already own. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya, and Nairobi orders usually arrive the same day. The USB-A to Lightning sibling, the ACD-L30, is also KSh 360, so iPhone and Android users in one home pay the same.
Which phones work with the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable?
The Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable charges any phone, tablet or gadget with a Type-C port. That covers most current Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and Redmi phones sold in Kenya, plus iPhone 15 and later and recent iPads. The other end needs a USB-A port, the classic rectangular one. Older iPhones up to iPhone 14 use Lightning, so they need the ACD-L30 instead. Budget phones with the older Micro-USB plug need the ACD-M30, priced at KSh 300 at Mascom International.
How fast does the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable charge a phone?
Charging speed with the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable depends mostly on your charger and your phone, not the cable alone. A cable's rating is the most it can carry; the adapter decides how much power is offered, and the phone decides how much it accepts. A basic adapter charges slowly whatever cable you use. Ask us on WhatsApp for this model's rating if you need a specific figure. For USB-C PD fast charging, the usual route is a Type-C to Type-C cable with a PD adapter.
What is the difference between the Amaya ACD-C30 and the Amaya ACD-C77?
The Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable uses a soft silicone cord, while the Amaya ACD-C77 uses standard PVC and costs KSh 100. Both connect a USB-A port to a Type-C phone. The ACD-C77 is rated 3A and runs 1 metre, a sensible budget pick for a cable that mostly stays on a desk. The ACD-C30 costs KSh 260 more for the softer, more flexible silicone jacket. Pick the ACD-C77 as a spare at home; pick the ACD-C30 for the cable you carry every day.
Does the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable cope with Kenyan dust, heat and power cuts?
The Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable suits Kenyan daily use because silicone stays flexible in heat and wipes clean of dust. In the dry season, or on dusty roads between Nakuru and Eldoret, a quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps grit off the cord. Clear dust from the Type-C plug before charging, since grit in a port causes loose connections. During KPLC power cuts, plug it into a power bank or a laptop's USB-A port to keep your phone ready for Safaricom calls and M-Pesa.
Is the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable at Mascom International genuine?
Mascom International sells the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable brand new and sealed as genuine Amaya stock. Fake and unbranded cables are common on Luthuli Avenue and River Road, and many fail within weeks or charge far slower than they should. Buying from a walk-in store on Kimathi Street means you can inspect the box, test the cable on your own phone at the counter, and come back for a warranty claim if a manufacturing defect shows up within 6 months.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable if your phone has a Type-C port and you charge from USB-A adapters, power banks or laptops. It suits students, NGO field staff and anyone whose cable lives in a pocket. Skip it if your adapter only has USB-C ports; the ACD-CC30 Type-C to Type-C Cable fits that setup. Skip it too if you prefer a braided jacket and zinc-alloy plugs, where the ACD-C33 at the same KSh 360 is the better fit.
Can I use the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable with a power bank or car charger?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable works with any power bank or car charger that has a USB-A output. Most power banks sold in Kenya still carry at least one USB-A port, which makes this cable a natural partner on long bus trips to Kisumu or Mombasa. Car chargers with USB-A sockets work the same way for drivers and sales reps on the move. Charging speed will follow the output of the power bank or car charger you use.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- USB-A to Type-C connection — links the rectangular USB port on adapters, laptops and power banks to the oval Type-C port on your phone.
- Reversible Type-C plug — the phone end fits either way up, so there is no fumbling in the dark during a late-night charge.
- Everyday charging lead — keeps a phone, tablet or earbud case topped up from the USB-A sources most homes and offices already have.
- Speed set by charger and device — the adapter and phone decide real charging speed, so pair it with a good adapter for quicker top-ups.
- Rating on request — confirm this model's rating with Mascom on WhatsApp before buying if your phone needs a specific figure.
- Silicone-cord 30 series member — shares its cord style with the ACD-L30, ACD-CL30, ACD-CC30 and ACD-M30, so a household can match cables.
Compatibility
- Most current Android phones — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Redmi and other Type-C models charge from this cable.
- iPhone 15 and later — Apple moved to Type-C with iPhone 15, so newer iPhones charge from a USB-A adapter through this lead.
- Tablets with Type-C — recent iPads and most Android tablets use the same oval port, so one cable serves phone and tablet.
- Power banks and laptops with USB-A — the plug fits the rectangular port still found on most power banks and many laptops.
- Car chargers with USB-A sockets — keeps a phone charged on the road for drivers, sales reps and field staff.
- Not for Lightning or Micro-USB — iPhone 14 and earlier need the ACD-L30; older budget Androids with Micro-USB need the ACD-M30.
Build
- Silicone cord — a soft, flexible jacket that feels gentle in the hand and coils easily into a bag or pocket.
- Supple in daily handling — silicone stays bendy instead of stiffening, which suits a cable that is wrapped and unwrapped many times a day.
- Wipes clean — dust and grime come off the silicone surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Brand new and sealed — every unit leaves Mascom International in its unopened Amaya retail box.
- Colour on request — shades vary between batches, so confirm the colour in stock on WhatsApp before you order.
- Care tip — unplug by holding the plug, not the cord, to protect the joint where the cable meets the connector.
Inclusions
- One Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable — packed alone in its Amaya retail box.
- No wall adapter — pair it with a USB-A adapter you own, or buy a matching one at Mascom International.
- Fast-charging route — for USB-C PD, the Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger is KSh 500 and pairs with a Type-C to Type-C cable instead.
- In-store test — try the cable on your own phone at the Kimathi Street counter before you pay.
- Spare-cable value — at KSh 360 each, one cable at home and one in your bag costs KSh 720 together.
- Pay-on-arrival ordering — order by WhatsApp and pay only when the cable reaches you, anywhere in Kenya.
Package Contents
The Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable comes in its sealed Amaya retail box with the cable only. There is no wall adapter, power bank or car charger inside, so plan to use an adapter with a USB-A port that you already own. Compatible adapters are sold separately at Mascom International, and our staff can match one to your phone at the counter. Check that the box seal is intact on delivery before you pay.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Amaya ACD-C30 USB to Type-C Cable with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
