Built for accountants, lawyers, software developers, and graphic designers across Kenya who work from MacBook Air, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook, or Lenovo ThinkPad units that ship with only one or two Type-C ports. The Baseus 9-in-1 USB-C Hub addresses the daily friction of unplugging a monitor cable to charge the laptop, swapping between an external SSD and an SD card, or reaching for a separate Ethernet adapter when the office Wi-Fi drops during a Safaricom outage. One USB-C connection to the laptop now handles two HDMI monitors, a wired LAN line, an SD card from a Canon DSLR, a microSD from a drone, three USB-A peripherals, and 85W charging on the same cable.

Where many Nairobi electronics shops stock generic no-name hubs that overheat after thirty minutes and lose Ethernet connection randomly, Mascom International carries genuine Baseus units backed by a 6-month warranty handled directly from our Nairobi CBD service desk. Buyers across Kenya tell us the dual-HDMI 4K@120Hz capability matters most for video editors running DaVinci Resolve on a 4K reference monitor while keeping the timeline on a second screen. Visit Mascom International at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street to test the Baseus 9-in-1 USB-C Hub against your own laptop before purchase, or order through countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery.

Nine ports in total: two HDMI outputs, one USB-C Power Delivery input, two USB-A 3.0 ports, one USB-A 2.0 port, one Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) jack, one SD card slot, and one microSD (TF) card slot. The single USB-C cable on the hub plugs into your laptop. HDMI 1 outputs up to 4K at 120Hz on a single display. HDMI 2 outputs up to 4K at 30Hz. When both HDMI ports run simultaneously in extended mode, each operates at 4K 30Hz.

Yes, with a 100W USB-C power adapter plugged into the PD port, the hub passes through up to 85W to your laptop. The hub draws 15W to run all nine ports, which is why a 100W input becomes 85W output. A 65W charger passes roughly 50W to the laptop, sufficient for MacBook Air M2/M3, Dell Latitude 14-inch models, and HP EliteBook 840 G10 during normal office work. Heavy GPU loads on gaming laptops require the laptop's original adapter directly.

The hub works with any USB-C device supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode for video and USB Power Delivery for charging. That covers MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from 2018 onwards, iPad Pro M1/M2/M4, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, Surface Pro 9 and later, and Steam Deck. Older laptops with USB-C limited to charging or data only will not output video. On macOS, both HDMI ports mirror by default rather than extending  a known macOS hardware limit.

The RJ45 port supports Gigabit speeds at 1000Mbps, with real-world throughput tested at around 905Mbps download on stable wired networks. That fully covers Safaricom Home Fibre packages up to 1000Mbps, JTL Faiba 1Gbps plans, and Zuku 500Mbps and 1Gbps tiers. For users on 250Mbps and 500Mbps fibre packages, the wired connection through the hub typically performs more reliably than Wi-Fi, especially in apartment buildings around Kilimani, Westlands, and Kileleshwa where Wi-Fi congestion is common.

The SD and microSD slots both transfer data at speeds up to 104MB/s and support cards up to 2TB capacity. That matches UHS-I card limits the most common SD card class sold in Kenya for DSLR, mirrorless, drone, and dashcam use. Photographers shooting Canon EOS R50, Sony A6400, or DJI Mini 4 Pro will offload a 64GB card in roughly 10 minutes through the hub. UHS-II cards work but downclock to UHS-I speeds, the same behavior as MacBook Pro's built-in SD slot.

The two USB-A 3.0 ports transfer data at up to 5Gbps each, which translates to about 500MB/s real-world for external SSDs like the SanDisk Extreme Portable, Samsung T7, or WD My Passport SSD. The single USB-A 2.0 port runs at 480Mbps, sufficient for keyboards, mice, USB headsets, webcams, dongles for Logitech wireless receivers, and printer cables. The 2.0 port keeps low-bandwidth peripherals from competing with high-speed data on the 3.0 ports.

The aluminum alloy housing handles passive cooling well during extended use. Independent reviewers running all nine ports simultaneously on MacBook Pro report the chassis becomes warm but not uncomfortably hot, even after several hours of dual-monitor video calls and Ethernet file transfers. The metal body acts as a heat sink, pulling heat away from internal controllers. Plastic-shelled hubs in this price range commonly throttle Ethernet and HDMI after thirty minutes of full load  the Baseus aluminum design avoids that issue.

At KSh 9,000, the hub costs less than buying separate adapters: a USB-C to HDMI adapter (around KSh 2,500), a USB-C to Ethernet adapter (KSh 2,000), a USB-C card reader (KSh 1,500), a 4-port USB-A hub (KSh 2,000), and a PD pass-through cable. The combined cost runs over KSh 8,000 with more cables, more failure points, and no dual-monitor capability. Buyers across Kenya choose the single-hub setup for cleaner desk cabling.

Mascom International ships the Baseus 9-in-1 USB-C Hub across all 47 Kenyan counties with pay-on-arrival delivery you only pay when the hub reaches you. Order by calling +254 708 852 521, emailing info@mascomintl.com, or visiting www.mascomintl.com. Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret receive next-business-day delivery. Remote counties including Lodwar, Wajir, Mandera, and Marsabit receive delivery within 2-3 business days. Inspect the hub, plug it into your laptop, and pay only after confirming all nine ports work.

The Baseus 9-in-1 USB-C Hub consolidates nine connection points into a single aluminum housing measuring approximately 125mm by 50mm by 14mm and weighing 70 grams. The hub connects to a host laptop through a built-in USB-C male cable approximately 15cm long, short enough to keep the hub close to the laptop without cable clutter. Port arrangement places HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 on the rear edge, USB-A 3.0 ports and USB-A 2.0 on the long side opposite the cable, RJ45 Ethernet next to the USB-A bank, and SD plus microSD card slots on the front edge. The PD input USB-C sits on the rear next to the HDMI outputs for clean cable routing behind a monitor stand.

HDMI 1 supports up to 4K at 120Hz refresh rate when used as a single external display, requires the host laptop's USB-C port to support DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode, and works with monitors rated for 120Hz refresh including the Samsung Odyssey G7, LG UltraGear 27GR93U, and Dell U2723QE. HDMI 1 is also backwards compatible with 4K at 60Hz, 2K at 120Hz, and 1080p at 60Hz. HDMI 2 supports up to 4K at 30Hz on its own. When running two monitors at the same time through both HDMI ports in extended desktop mode, both outputs operate at 4K 30Hz simultaneously. Video bandwidth follows the host laptop's DisplayPort lane allocation, so older laptops with DisplayPort 1.2 cap at 4K 60Hz on HDMI 1.

The hub works with any USB-C device that combines DisplayPort Alt Mode for video, USB Power Delivery for charging, and USB 3.0 data on the same Type-C port. Verified compatible devices include MacBook Air M1, M2, M3, M4, MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models from 2021 onwards, iPad Pro M1 through M4, iPad Air M2 and M3, Mac Mini M2 and M4, Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and 10, Surface Laptop 5 and 6, Dell XPS 13 and 15, HP EliteBook 800 series, Lenovo ThinkPad X and T series, ASUS ZenBook, Steam Deck, Razer Blade laptops, and most Android tablets supporting USB-C DP Alt Mode including Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 and Tab S10. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation on macOS, Windows 10/11, iPadOS, ChromeOS, or Android with DeX support.

The aluminum alloy housing handles passive heat dissipation across the full surface area, keeping internal controllers within thermal limits during sustained dual-monitor use, file transfers, and PD pass-through charging. Surface finish is sandblasted matte gray, matching the typical Apple MacBook Space Gray and Microsoft Surface Platinum finishes for desk consistency. The integrated USB-C male connector cable is sleeved for flex durability, rated for thousands of insertion cycles by Baseus testing. Power input through the USB-C PD port supports up to 100W input and passes 85W to the host device after 15W internal hub consumption. BC1.2 fast charging protocol works on the USB-A 3.0 ports for charging phones and tablets at up to 5V/1.5A while the hub powers itself from the laptop or PD adapter.
