Budi DC158TT Cable | USB Type-C to Type-C | 60W Power Delivery | 3A Output | 1 Meter
A short charging cord stocked at our Kimathi Street counter, with pay-on-arrival shipping to every Kenyan county.
Condition: New

Budi DC158TT Cable is now available at Mascom International for KSh 500, a 1-metre Type-C to Type-C charging and sync lead rated for 60W Power Delivery at up to 3A. Stock sits on the shelf at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. Every Budi DC158TT Cable we sell is brand new and sealed in its retail pack. It fast-charges phones, tablets, earbuds and USB-C laptops that draw 60W or less, and moves files at USB 2.0 speeds of 480Mbps between two Type-C devices.
Students at Strathmore, USIU and Kenyatta University, sales staff riding matatus between Westlands and the CBD, and field engineers covering Nakuru and Kisumu all lose the same item every few months: the charging lead. Bundled cords fray at the neck, the copper strands thin out, and a phone that used to fill in 40 minutes suddenly needs two hours. The Budi DC158TT Cable replaces that worn lead without pushing you toward a KSh 3,000 branded accessory. At 1 metre it reaches a wall socket from a desk, a bedside table, or a car dashboard mount without coiling into a knot behind the seat.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell unmarked cords with no wattage figure printed anywhere, Mascom International stocks the Budi DC158TT Cable with its rating stated plainly and a 6-month warranty behind it. Customers across Nairobi report that a correctly rated 60W lead cuts a Samsung or Xiaomi charge cycle by 20 to 30 minutes compared with a generic 2.4A market cable. Bring your own phone and charger to our Kimathi Street counter and test the Budi DC158TT Cable before you pay, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Budi DC158TT Cable
Which devices work with the Budi DC158TT Cable?
Any device with a USB-C port on both ends of the connection. That covers Samsung Galaxy A and S series, Xiaomi, Redmi, Tecno, Infinix, Itel, Oppo, Vivo, iPhone 15 and newer, iPad Air and Pro, Nintendo Switch, PS5 DualSense controllers, Bluetooth earbuds, and USB-C laptops such as the MacBook Air, Dell Latitude and HP EliteBook. It will not fit older micro-USB or Lightning ports. Mascom International stocks separate leads for those two connector types.
How much faster does the Budi DC158TT Cable charge a phone?
The 60W Power Delivery rating lets your phone negotiate its full charging speed instead of falling back to slow 5V trickle charging. A Samsung Galaxy A56 paired with a 45W adapter reaches roughly 50 percent in 30 minutes on the Budi DC158TT Cable. The same phone on an unrated 2.4A market cord typically needs 50 to 60 minutes for the same result, because the cable itself caps the current the charger is allowed to push.
Can the Budi DC158TT Cable charge a laptop?
Yes, provided the laptop draws 60W or less over USB-C. That includes the MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13, HP Pavilion Aero, Lenovo ThinkPad X13, and most Chromebooks. Machines needing 65W or more, such as gaming laptops and 16-inch workstations, will still charge but more slowly, and some will display a slow-charging warning. For those, ask our Kimathi Street team about the 100W and 240W leads on the shelf.
Does the Budi DC158TT Cable transfer files as well as charge?
It does both on one lead. Data runs at USB 2.0 speed, meaning 480Mbps, which is roughly 60MB per second in practice. A 2GB video file moves across in about 35 seconds. That is enough for phone-to-laptop photo backups, moving recordings off a camera, or shifting documents before a KRA filing deadline. It is not an external SSD cable for 5Gbps or 10Gbps transfer speeds you need a USB 3.2 rated lead instead.
Is 1 metre long enough for daily use in Kenya?
For most people, yes. One metre covers a wall socket to a bedside table, a laptop to a phone on the same desk, a power bank in a bag, and a car charger to a dashboard mount. It is short enough that it does not tangle in a backpack or trail across a matatu floor. If you charge from a socket behind a sofa or need to use the phone in bed, the 2-metre and 3-metre Budi options at Mascom International suit you better.
Is the Budi DC158TT Cable worth KSh 500 next to cheaper market cords?
The gap is in the conductor and the connector housing. A KSh 150 roadside cord usually carries thin copper-clad aluminium wire that heats up under 3A and loses capacity within weeks. The Budi DC158TT Cable uses tinned copper conductors sized for the full 3A load, with moulded strain relief at both plugs. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us one properly rated cable outlasts four cheap ones, which makes the KSh 500 the cheaper option over a year.
Will the Budi DC158TT Cable work with an iPhone?
Yes, on iPhone 15, iPhone 16, iPhone 17 and every newer model, since Apple moved those phones to USB-C. It also fits the iPad Air, iPad Pro, iPad mini from 2021 onward, AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C case, and MacBook laptops. It will not connect to an iPhone 14 or earlier, which still use Lightning ports. Mascom International stocks Budi Type-C to Lightning leads for those handsets at our Kimathi Street shop.
How long should the Budi DC158TT Cable last?
With normal daily use, expect well past a year. The failure point on any cable is the bend just behind the plug, which is why the DC158TT carries thickened moulding at both ends. Habits matter more than the cable: pull the plug, not the cord; avoid wrapping it tightly around a charger; and keep it out of a trouser pocket where it folds sharply. Mascom International covers manufacturing faults for six months from purchase.
Technical Specifications
Charging Output and Power Delivery Support
- Rated for 60W Power Delivery at 20V and 3A, covering phones, tablets and most thin-and-light USB-C laptops
- Supports USB PD 3.0 voltage negotiation at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V so each device draws its correct level
- Handles 3A continuous current without heating, roughly double the 1.5A that unrated market cords safely carry
- Works with Samsung Super Fast Charging up to 45W, letting a Galaxy S series phone hit its full rate
- Compatible with Xiaomi HyperCharge, Oppo SUPERVOOC and Tecno flash charging when paired with the matching adapter
- Passes through PPS charging profiles, which let newer phones fine-tune voltage in 20mV steps to reduce battery heat
Data Transfer and Sync Capability
- Moves data at USB 2.0 speed of 480Mbps, about 60MB per second in real transfers between two devices
- Copies a 2GB video file in roughly 35 seconds, enough for daily phone-to-laptop backups before travel
- Handles Android File Transfer, Samsung's device migration app and Windows phone-link syncing without dropping out
- Carries no video output, so it will not drive an external monitor through DisplayPort Alt Mode
- Not rated for USB 3.2 speeds, meaning external SSD work needs a 5Gbps or 10Gbps lead instead
- Supports OTG connections, letting a phone read a flash drive or run a keyboard through a USB-C hub
Device Compatibility Across Brands
- Fits every Android phone sold in Kenya since 2018, including Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Itel, Xiaomi, Redmi, Oppo, Vivo and Realme
- Works with iPhone 15, 16 and 17 series plus iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad mini models using USB-C
- Charges USB-C laptops including MacBook Air, Dell Latitude, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and most Chromebooks
- Powers Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, PS5 DualSense controllers and Xbox Series controllers with USB-C ports
- Connects Bluetooth earbuds, smartwatches, portable speakers, e-readers and USB-C power banks for two-way charging
- Will not fit micro-USB or Lightning ports, since both plugs on this lead are USB Type-C
Cable Construction and Daily Durability
- Tinned copper conductors sized for the full 3A load, unlike the copper-clad aluminium found in low-cost cords
- TPE outer jacket stays flexible in Nairobi's cool mornings and Mombasa's coastal heat without stiffening or cracking
- Moulded strain relief at both plugs protects the bend point where most charging cables fail first
- Reversible USB-C connectors plug in either way round, cutting the fumbling that wears out port contacts
- Shielded core reduces interference, so charging while on a call does not introduce buzzing on the line
- Compact plug housings clear most phone cases, including thick rugged covers with recessed charging ports
Length Handling and Everyday Placement
- 1 metre reaches a wall socket from a bedside table, a desk edge, or a car dashboard phone mount
- Short enough to stay untangled inside a backpack, laptop sleeve, or handbag during a daily commute
- Pairs neatly with a power bank in the same pocket, with no slack loop hanging out of the bag
- Suits office desks where the charger sits in a floor socket directly beneath the working position
- Reduces trip risk in shared spaces such as university libraries, co-working desks and matatu SACCO offices
- For sofa charging or bedroom sockets set far from the bed, choose the 2-metre or 3-metre Budi lead instead
Safety Protection and Certification
- Built-in resistor signalling tells the charger the correct current limit, preventing over-current on the phone side
- RoHS compliant construction, meaning restricted heavy metals such as lead and cadmium stay below legal limits
- Handles Kenya's mains voltage fluctuations safely when used with a properly rated adapter or surge-protected socket
- Temperature-stable insulation holds its shape under sustained 60W loads without softening or exposing conductors
- No third-party firmware or chip, so it cannot introduce the charging faults seen with counterfeit e-marker cables
- Mascom International bench-tests stock on arrival, checking both charge negotiation and data continuity before shelving
Package Contents
- Budi DC158TT Cable, 1 metre, Type-C to Type-C
- Budi retail pack with printed specification and reusable cable tie
- Mascom International warranty slip with purchase date and serial reference
