Handles heavy-current SuperCharge-style output from Huawei and Honor at a budget-friendly cost.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 100, a 1-metre charging cable rated for 6A, brand new and sealed in its retail box. The cord is white, and the USB-A plug has an orange tongue, the plastic strip inside the rectangular plug that guides it into the port. That USB-A end fits the classic rectangular socket on wall chargers, power banks and laptops, while the USB-C end fits the small oval reversible port on most Android phones. Mascom International keeps the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable at its Old Mutual Building shop on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for M-Pesa agents, boda boda riders, shop owners and students across Kenya, the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable is a low-cost spare for anyone who keeps phones charged all day. The 6A on the box needs a plain explanation. It is the most current the cable can carry, sized for the high-current fast charging some brands use, such as Huawei and Honor SuperCharge-style systems. Most phones draw far less than that, so on those the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable charges at the same pace as a good 3A cable would.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unlabelled fast cables with no stated rating, Mascom International sells the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable sealed, with its rating printed on the box and a warranty behind it. Buyers throughout Kenya report that at this price they keep one at home, one at work and one beside the power bank. The orange tongue makes the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable easy to pick out from other white cords in a drawer. Test it with your own phone and charger at our Kimathi Street counter, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable
How much is the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable in Kenya?
The Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable sells for KSh 100, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. For that you get the 1-metre cable in its retail box, a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. There is no charger in the box. The Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable, a 3A FastLine model sold as a fast data cable, costs KSh 140, which is KSh 40 more.
What does 6A mean on the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable?
On the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable, 6A is the most electric current the cable is built to carry, not the speed your phone will charge at. Some brands, such as Huawei and Honor with their SuperCharge-style systems, push high current through the cable to charge quickly, and a thinner cable would hold them back. Most phones request far less than 6A, so for them the extra capacity simply goes unused. Your charger and phone always decide the real speed.
Will the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable unlock SuperCharge on my Huawei or Honor phone?
The Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable can carry the current SuperCharge-style charging uses, but whether your Huawei or Honor phone switches to its fastest mode depends on the phone, the charger and their handshake. A handshake is the quick check a phone and charger run before raising power. Some brands keep top speed for their own original cables. The simple answer is to bring your phone and its original charger to Mascom International and watch the charging indicator before you pay.
Is the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable better than the Amaya ACD-C77 USB to Type-C Cable?
For most phones, the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable and the Amaya ACD-C77 USB to Type-C Cable charge at the same speed, and both cost KSh 100. The AM-C6A carries up to 6A, which matters only for high-current systems such as Huawei and Honor SuperCharge-style chargers. The ACD-C77 is a black 3A FastLine cable sold as a fast data cable. Pick the AM-C6A for a white cord or a high-current charger; pick the ACD-C77 if file transfer matters to you.
Can the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable transfer files?
The Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable box describes a fast charging cable and does not list data transfer or a data speed. For that reason, Mascom International does not promise file transfer on it. If you need to move photos to a laptop, or print documents from your phone at a cyber café, test the cable with your phone and a computer at our counter first. Otherwise choose the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable, which its box describes as a fast data cable.
How should I look after the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable in Kenya's dust and heat?
The Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable is cheap enough to keep one in the shop, one on the motorbike and one at home, which helps when KPLC outages leave short windows to charge. Dust in a phone's USB-C port is a common cause of loose charging on Eldoret and Nakuru roads, so clear the port and wipe the plug before blaming the cable. Keep any cable off a hot dashboard in direct sun, where heat softens the cord's jacket over time.
Which chargers work with the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable?
Any charger, power bank or computer with a USB-A port works with the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable. A basic 2A adapter still charges at 2A through it, because the cable never raises a charger's output. To use the full 6A capacity you need a high-current charger built for that kind of fast charging, usually the one supplied with a Huawei or Honor phone. Chargers with only USB-C ports need the Amaya ACD-CC82 Type-C to Type-C Cable instead.
Who should buy the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable, and who should look elsewhere?
Buy the Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable if you want a sealed KSh 100 charging spare, or you own a Huawei or Honor high-current charger and need a second cable for it. M-Pesa shops on Tom Mboya Street with several staff phones on one power strip find it a sensible buy. Look elsewhere if you need guaranteed file transfer, where the Amaya ACD-C82 USB to Type-C Cable fits better. For a tougher braided cord, the Amaya ACD-C58 USB to Type-C Cable at KSh 360 is the stronger match.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Current Rating
- 6A current rating — the most current the cable is built to carry; your charger and phone set the real charging speed.
- Sized for high-current fast charging — suits systems that push heavy current, such as Huawei and Honor SuperCharge-style chargers.
- Ordinary phones charge normally — a phone that asks for less current simply takes what it needs, leaving the spare capacity unused.
- USB-A to USB-C layout — joins the rectangular port on chargers and power banks to the small oval port on modern phones.
- Reversible USB-C end — slips into the phone either way up, a help when plugging in on a dark bus or during a blackout.
- Charging-focused design — the box lists fast charging only, with no data speed, so test file transfer at our counter if you need it.
Compatibility
- Huawei and Honor phones with USB-C — can carry the high current their own SuperCharge-style chargers deliver; top speed depends on the phone's handshake.
- Other USB-C Android phones — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Itel, Oppo, Redmi and Vivo phones charge at their normal USB-A rate through it.
- iPhone 15 and later — charges from a USB-A adapter at a basic rate; a USB-C PD adapter with a Type-C to Type-C cable is faster.
- USB-A power sources — power banks, laptops, desktop computers, car chargers and wall adapters can all feed the cable.
- USB-C accessories — earbud cases, Bluetooth speakers, handheld fans and game controllers that charge through a USB-C socket.
- Shared charging points — one cable serves every USB-C phone on a family, office or shop power strip, whatever the brand.
- Not a fit — USB-C-only chargers, Lightning iPhones up to iPhone 14, and Micro-USB phones each need a different Amaya cable.
Build and Design
- 1000mm length — exactly 1 metre, long enough to reach a bedside table or shop counter from a socket without loose loops.
- White cord — a light colour that is easy to see in a dark drawer, a handbag or on a cluttered counter.
- Orange USB-A tongue — the coloured plastic strip inside the rectangular plug, a quick visual sign that this is the 6A cable.
- USB-C plug on the phone end — the small oval connector shared by most Android phones, tablets and newer iPhones sold in Kenya.
- Sealed packaging — each cable leaves Mascom International brand new and unopened in its original Amaya retail box.
- Care tip — unplug by the plug head rather than the cord, and coil it loosely when packing it into a bag.
- Simple plug-in use — no app, driver or setting is needed; connect the charger and phone and charging begins straight away.
Inclusions and Support
- One Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable, 1 metre long, white with an orange USB-A tongue, in its Amaya retail box.
- No wall charger included — use your existing USB-A adapter, or buy a compatible one separately at Mascom International.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Counter testing — check charging with your own phone and charger at our Kimathi Street shop before paying.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so the cable is paid for only once it reaches your hands.
- Alternatives on the same shelf — 3A FastLine, braided and Type-C to Type-C Amaya cables for buyers who need data or use USB-C chargers.
Package Contents
The retail box contains one Amaya AM-C6A USB to Type-C Cable, 1000mm long, with a white cord and an orange USB-A tongue. There is no wall charger, power bank or adapter plug inside. To get high-current fast charging you need a charger built for it, usually the one that came with your Huawei or Honor phone; for everyday charging, any USB-A adapter works. Compatible chargers are sold separately at Mascom International. Keep the box and receipt in case of a warranty claim.
