Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable, from Amaya's zinc-alloy braided 33 series, is in stock at Mascom International for KSh 360, brand new and sealed. One end takes the classic rectangular USB-A port on wall adapters, power banks and computers. The other carries the small oval, reversible Type-C plug used by most Android phones, iPhone 15 and later, iPads and many laptops. The Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable pairs a flat braided jacket with zinc-alloy plug shells, a metal blend in place of plastic. Amaya is a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, and Mascom International sells it from Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for field engineers, NGO field staff and mobile gamers across Kenya, the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable handles the kind of use that kills thin cables. A lead shoved into a backpack, wrapped around a power bank or yanked from a car socket usually breaks at the plug neck first. Metal plug shells give that joint a firmer base, and the woven jacket takes scuffs that would split bare plastic. Whether you charge on a site visit in Industrial Area or game through a long evening, the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable is made for heavier handling.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over loose cables with no box and no cover, Mascom International sells the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable sealed, with a 6-month warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers ask for braided cables with metal plugs once a cheap one has failed them twice. Come to our Kimathi Street shop and plug the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable into your own phone first. If you cannot visit, order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable
How much does the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable cost in Kenya?
The Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable costs KSh 360 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That covers the cable in its retail box and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects; no wall adapter is included. It is the same price as the silicone ACD-C30 and KSh 260 more than the basic PVC ACD-C77. Order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival, with same-day delivery inside Nairobi and next-business-day delivery to other major towns.
What do zinc-alloy plugs and a flat braid mean on the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable?
Zinc-alloy plugs mean the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable has metal connector shells instead of the plastic used on budget cables. Zinc alloy is a zinc-based metal blend common in accessory hardware, and it gives a firm surface to grip when unplugging. The flat braid is a woven textile jacket pressed into a ribbon shape. Flat cables lie neatly in a bag and are less likely to twist into knots than round PVC cables.
Should I buy the Amaya ACD-C33 or the Amaya ACD-C58 USB to Type-C Cable?
Buy the Amaya ACD-C58 if you want a confirmed rating, and the Amaya ACD-C33 if you prefer a flat braid with zinc-alloy plugs. Both cost KSh 360 at Mascom International and both run from USB-A to Type-C. The ACD-C58 is rated 100W, measures 1 metre and uses a braided cord with aluminium plugs. The ACD-C33 is the flatter ribbon option, easier to pack neatly. Ask on WhatsApp for the ACD-C33's rating before choosing if charging speed is your main concern.
Is the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable a good pick for boda boda riders and matatu commuters?
The Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable suits riders and commuters because its braided jacket and zinc-alloy plugs are made for heavier handling than thin PVC. Cables stuffed into a rider's jacket pocket, or squeezed into a bag on a crowded matatu, usually fail at the plug neck first. A metal plug shell gives that joint a firmer base. Riders who top up from a power bank between trips, to keep M-Pesa and ride apps running, get a cable suited to that routine.
Is the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable good for cyber cafés and phone-repair kiosks?
The Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable is a sensible choice for counters where many customers plug in through the day. Cyber cafés and repair kiosks along Moi Avenue and Tom Mboya Street often keep one shared charging cable that gets tugged constantly. A braided jacket and metal plug shells are made for that kind of handling, and the flat shape is easy to coil at closing time. Shop owners can order several on WhatsApp from Mascom International and pay when they arrive.
Does the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable support fast charging?
Charging speed with the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable is set mainly by your adapter and your phone. A cable's rating is only the ceiling it can carry; the adapter decides what is offered and the phone decides what it takes. Many USB-A adapters charge more slowly than USB-C PD adapters, so a USB-C setup with the ACD-CC33 is the quicker route for phones that support PD. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp for this model's rating if you need an exact figure.
Can the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable charge an iPhone 15 from an old USB-A adapter?
Yes, the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable lets iPhone 15 and later charge from the USB-A adapters many Kenyan families still own from older phones. Apple ships those iPhones with a Type-C to Type-C cable only, so an old rectangular-port adapter would otherwise sit unused in a drawer. Charging from a basic USB-A adapter is slower than from a USB-C PD adapter, but it works well for overnight top-ups. The same cable fits a laptop or power bank USB-A port when you travel.
Who should buy the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable if you charge a Type-C phone from USB-A ports and your cables take a beating in bags, pockets or vehicles. Field engineers, NGO field staff and mobile gamers who play while charging fit this profile. Skip it if your charger has only USB-C ports; the ACD-CC33 suits that. Skip it too if you want a soft, smooth cord instead of a woven one, where the silicone ACD-C30 at the same price is the better choice.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- USB-A to Type-C connection — joins the rectangular port on adapters, power banks and computers to the oval Type-C port on your device.
- Reversible Type-C end — the phone plug goes in either way up, so there is no forcing it into the port at the wrong angle.
- Rating on request — confirm this model's rating on WhatsApp; the ACD-L33 in the same series is rated 2.4A for Lightning iPhones.
- Daily charging role — keeps Type-C phones, tablets and accessories charged from the USB-A ports found in most homes, offices and vehicles.
- Zinc-alloy braided 33 series member — sits beside the ACD-L33 for Lightning iPhones and the ACD-CC33 for USB-C adapters.
- Matching cables for mixed homes — with the ACD-L33 at the same KSh 360, Android and older iPhone users can carry the same style.
Compatibility
- Type-C Android phones — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Vivo and Redmi phones with the oval port charge from this cable.

- Tablets and accessories with Type-C — recent iPads, Android tablets, wireless earbud cases and many portable speakers.
- USB-A sources — wall adapters, power banks, desktop computers and car chargers with the rectangular port all work.
- Not for USB-C-only adapters — chargers with only Type-C ports need the ACD-CC33 or another Type-C to Type-C cable.
- Not for Lightning or Micro-USB — iPhone 14 and earlier need the ACD-L33; Micro-USB phones need a cable such as the ACD-M30.
Build
- Flat braided jacket — a woven textile outer layer pressed into a ribbon shape, so it lies flat in a bag and resists knotting.
- Zinc-alloy plugs — the connector shells are a zinc-based metal blend instead of plastic, giving a firmer grip when plugging in and out.
- Series length — the 33 series is built at 1.2 metres — confirm on WhatsApp before ordering if reach to a socket matters.
- Sealed and brand new — each cable is packed in its unopened Amaya retail box before it reaches you.
- Colour on request — confirm the colour in stock on WhatsApp, as shades can change between batches.
- Care tip — pull by the metal plug, never the braid, and brush lint out of the Type-C end now and then.
Inclusions
- One Amaya ACD-C33 USB to Type-C Cable — the single item in the Amaya retail box.
- No adapter included — use any USB-A wall adapter, power bank or car charger you already own.

- Counter test — plug it into your own phone at the Mascom International shop before paying.
- Two-cable cost — one ACD-C33 plus one ACD-L33 comes to KSh 720 for a home with Android and older iPhones.
