Budi 261TT3 USB-C to USB-C Cable | 65W Power Delivery | 3m Length | Soft Material Build | White
A limber, knot-free lead that stretches from the socket behind your sofa to wherever you actually sit and work.
Condition: New

The Budi 261TT3 USB-C to USB-C cable is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 1,300. This is a 3-metre charge and sync cord rated for up to 65W USB Power Delivery, finished in white with a soft outer jacket that stays flexible and resists tangling. The Budi 261TT3 carries a USB-C plug on both ends, so one cord handles a phone, a tablet, a pair of earbuds, and a USB-C laptop. Mascom International stocks the Budi 261TT3 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Walk in Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Most charging cables sold in Kenya measure one metre, which forces you to sit on the floor beside the socket. The Budi 261TT3 solves that with 300cm of reach. Students at Kenyatta University and Strathmore can charge from the bed while the adapter sits at the far wall. Sales teams working from hotel rooms in Nakuru or Kisumu reach the only free socket without moving furniture. Field engineers charge a laptop from a vehicle inverter in the back seat. Accountants and lawyers running long evening sessions keep a phone topped up on the desk while the plug stays behind the cabinet.
Cheap 3-metre cords are common in Nairobi's downtown shops, and most of them drop to 10W or 18W because the internal copper is too thin for a long run. The Budi 261TT3 is built for 65W throughput across the full three metres, which is why it still refills a USB-C laptop rather than just trickling a phone. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the length is what they miss most in bundled box cables. Order the Budi 261TT3 on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide, or collect it over the counter at our Kimathi Street store.
Common Questions About the Budi 261TT3
Can the Budi 261TT3 actually charge a laptop?
Yes. The cable is rated for up to 65W USB Power Delivery, which covers most USB-C laptops sold in Kenya, including the MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13, Lenovo ThinkPad X13, HP EliteBook, and ASUS Zenbook. You still need a 65W USB-C wall adapter or a laptop-class power bank to reach that figure. The cable does not generate power on its own. Pair it with a 65W GaN charger and a 13-inch ultrabook typically reaches roughly 50 percent in 30 to 40 minutes.
Does a 3-metre cable charge slower than a short one?
Longer cables lose voltage over distance, so cheap thin ones do slow down noticeably. The Budi 261TT3 uses thicker internal conductors sized for the 300cm run, which keeps the drop small enough that fast charging still negotiates correctly. In practice you will see a marginal difference against a 1-metre cord, usually a few minutes on a full phone charge. The trade is worth it when the nearest socket is three metres from where you actually sit.
Which devices work with the Budi 261TT3?
Anything with a USB-C port on both the charger side and the device side. That covers Samsung Galaxy S and A series, iPhone 15 through iPhone 17, Google Pixel, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Redmi, and Oppo phones, Galaxy Tab and iPad models, Nintendo Switch, PS5 DualSense controllers, JBL and UGREEN headphones, and USB-C laptops. It will not fit older micro-USB devices or Lightning iPhones. Bring your device to our Kimathi Street counter if you are unsure about the port.
Why buy a soft cable instead of a braided one?
Braided nylon looks tough but holds its coil shape and knots easily inside a bag. The soft jacket on the Budi 261TT3 stays limp, lies flat against a wall, and unwinds without memory kinks. It also weighs only 50 grams across the full three metres, so it does not drag a phone off a bedside table. Braided cables fray at the ends over time; a moulded soft jacket resists that specific failure.
Does the Budi 261TT3 transfer files as well as charge?
Yes, it handles data sync alongside charging. Connect a phone to a laptop and you can move photos, videos, and documents without a separate cord. Transfer speed sits at USB 2.0 level, around 480Mbps, which moves a 2GB video file in roughly 40 seconds. That is fine for photo backups and phone-to-computer transfers. If you need 10Gbps speeds for external SSD work, ask our team about a dedicated USB 3.2 cable instead.
How does this compare to the cable in my phone box?
Bundled cables typically measure 1 metre and are rated for the phone's charging speed only, often 25W or 33W. The Budi 261TT3 gives you triple the length and headroom to 65W, so the same cord serves your phone today and your laptop tomorrow. Box cables also use thinner jackets that split at the connector within a year of daily bending. Keeping the box cable at the office and this one at home is the common setup.
Will the white jacket stain over time?
White cables pick up marks faster than black ones, especially from dusty surfaces and hands. The Budi 261TT3 uses a smooth non-porous jacket rather than fabric, so surface dirt wipes off with a slightly damp cloth and a drop of soap. Fabric-braided white cables absorb grime permanently; this one does not. Keep it off the floor near doorways during Nairobi's dry windy months and it stays clean for years.
Is KSh 1,300 reasonable for this cable in Kenya?
A genuine 65W-rated 3-metre USB-C cord from a known brand normally sits between KSh 1,200 and KSh 2,500 in Nairobi. Unbranded 3-metre cables sell for KSh 300 to KSh 500 but rarely carry more than 18W and often fail within three months. At KSh 1,300 the Budi 261TT3 lands at the low end of the branded range, with a 6-month warranty behind it. Replacing a KSh 400 cable four times costs more.
Can I use it with a power bank or car charger?
Yes. Any power bank with a USB-C Power Delivery output works, including 20W, 45W, 65W, and 100W models such as the UGREEN PB502 and PB205. Car chargers with a USB-C PD port also work, which makes the three-metre length useful for passengers charging from a front-seat socket. Output is capped by whichever component is weakest, so a 20W power bank still charges at 20W through this cable.
Technical Specifications
Charging Output and Power Delivery
- Rated for up to 65W USB Power Delivery, enough for USB-C laptops as well as phones and tablets
- Supports the USB PD 3.0 protocol, so the device and charger negotiate the correct voltage automatically
- Handles 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, and 20V steps, covering slow trickle charging through to laptop-level draw
- Passes Samsung Super Fast Charging at 25W and 45W when paired with a matching Samsung adapter
- Supports Apple fast charging on iPhone 15 and newer at 20W with a compatible USB-C adapter
- Output is limited by your adapter, so a 20W charger produces 20W regardless of the cable rating
Cable Length and Everyday Reach
- Full length measures 300cm, roughly three times the 1-metre cord bundled with most phones
- Reaches from a wall socket to a bed, sofa, or workbench without an extension cord
- Suits Nairobi apartments where sockets sit behind furniture or at awkward corner positions
- Works for back-seat charging in a car when the 12V socket sits at the dashboard
- Long enough to run a laptop from a boardroom wall socket during full-day meetings
- Coils down to a small loop for a laptop bag despite the extended length
Build Materials and Daily Durability
- Soft outer jacket stays flexible in heat and cold rather than stiffening like hard PVC
- Non-fabric surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, useful for dusty upcountry and coastal conditions
- Total weight is 50 grams, light enough that it will not pull a phone off a table
- Moulded strain relief at both connector necks spreads bending stress away from the solder joints
- Resists tangling and memory kinks, so it lies flat instead of coiling back on itself
- White finish matches Apple, Samsung, and most modern laptop chargers for a tidy desk
Device Compatibility Across Brands
- USB-C connectors on both ends fit any device with a USB-C charging port
- Covers Samsung Galaxy S and A series, iPhone 15 onward, Pixel, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, and Oppo
- Charges USB-C laptops including MacBook Air, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad, and ASUS Zenbook
- Works with Galaxy Tab, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and USB-C Kindle and Echo devices
- Compatible with Nintendo Switch, PS5 DualSense controllers, and USB-C gaming headsets
- Not compatible with micro-USB devices or Lightning iPhones without a separate adapter
Data Transfer and Sync Function
- Moves files between phone and computer alongside charging, so one cord covers both jobs
- Transfer runs at USB 2.0 speed, around 480Mbps, moving a 2GB video in roughly 40 seconds
- Handles Android File Transfer, Windows Phone Link, and iPhone to Mac photo imports
- Supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wired connections in cars with a USB-C port
- Reversible connectors plug in either orientation, which saves fumbling in a dark car
Safety Protection and Handling
- Internal conductors sized for the 300cm run to limit voltage drop and heat build-up
- Charger-side protection circuits regulate current, so the cable will not force excess power into a phone
- Stays cool during 65W laptop charging when paired with a certified USB-C PD adapter
- Avoid pinching the cable under furniture legs or doors, the most common cause of internal breaks
- Unplug by the connector housing rather than pulling the cord to protect the solder points
- Store loosely coiled rather than wrapped tightly around a charger to extend service life
