Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable | USB-C to USB-C | 1m Length | 100W PD | 480Mbps | E-Marker Chip

Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 1,200 for a 1-metre USB-C to USB-C lead rated for 100W Power Delivery and 480Mbps data. It arrives factory-sealed and unused, in Black. The Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable carries an E-Marker chip, a tiny identity chip in the plug that tells your charger the cable can safely handle 5 amps. That is what unlocks the full 100W that many laptops need. Find it at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for accountants, developers, lawyers and consultants who carry one charger for everything, the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable handles a 90W or 100W laptop as easily as a phone. The common problem is a thick laptop cable that hogs bag space, or a thin phone cable that cannot pass more than 60W. This lead solves both: a slim, woven body that coils small, with 5-amp wiring inside. It suits a hot-desk in Upper Hill, a client visit in Kilimani or a long matatu ride to Nakuru with a laptop that needs topping up.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell 100W cables with no proof of the chip inside, Mascom International lets you plug the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable into your own laptop at the counter. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the right cable is often the difference between a laptop that charges and one that only slows its drain. At Mascom International we're seeing more customers move to one USB-C charger for laptop, tablet and phone, and the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable fits that setup.

Common Questions About the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable
What is the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable 1m 100W price in Kenya?
The Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable 1m 100W sells for KSh 1,200 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, as sealed stock in Black. The price covers the cable alone and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. It does not include a charger, so it works with the USB-C PD adapter you already use. Delivery anywhere in Kenya is pay-on-arrival, so you settle in cash or by M-Pesa once the parcel reaches you.
Will the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable charge my laptop at full speed?
Yes, if your laptop charges over USB-C at 100W or less, the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable passes its full rated power. The E-Marker chip lets the charger raise current to 5 amps at 20 volts, which ordinary 3-amp cables cannot do. That covers many business laptops, such as the HP EliteBook and Lenovo ThinkPad lines, plus MacBook Air and 14-inch MacBook Pro models on USB-C. Your charger must also be rated at 100W to deliver that much.
How does the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable compare with a standard 60W USB-C cable?
The Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable carries up to 100W, while a standard USB-C cable without an E-Marker chip stops at 60W. Data speed is the same, 480Mbps on both. For a phone or tablet, the two charge at the same rate in practice. For a laptop that ships with a 90W or 100W charger, the 60W cable charges slower and may lose ground under heavy work. Pick this one if a laptop is in your bag; a 60W lead is enough otherwise.
Is the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable safe to use with a generator or inverter during power cuts?
Yes, the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable is as safe on generator or inverter power as on mains, because the charger handles the incoming electricity. The cable only carries the regulated USB-C output, and the E-Marker chip prevents a charger from pushing more current than the wiring allows. During KPLC outages, a 100W power bank with a USB-C PD port can keep a laptop working through this cable. Plug the charger into a surge protector when the supply is unstable.
What does ultra-thin mean on the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable?
Ultra-thin means the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable has a slimmer body than typical 100W laptop leads, which are often thick and stiff. A thinner cable bends more easily, coils into a smaller loop and takes less room in a laptop sleeve or pencil case. The braided nylon outer layer protects that slim core from fraying at the plug. For buyers who commute by boda boda or matatu with a light bag, that space saving matters every day.
Can I use the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable to connect a monitor or external drive?
The Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable is built for charging and USB 2.0 data at 480Mbps, not for video or high-speed storage. It copies photos, documents and phone backups well. It will not carry a picture to a monitor, because that needs a cable that supports DisplayPort output. For a fast external SSD, a USB 3.2 cable rated at 10Gbps or above moves large files many times quicker. For everyday charging and syncing, this cable covers the job.
Does the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable work with phones from Samsung, Tecno and iPhone?
Yes, the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable works with any phone that has a USB-C port, including Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Redmi and iPhone 15 or later. Its 5-amp rating means it also supports Samsung's 45W Super Fast Charging on models that offer it, when paired with a 45W Samsung-compatible charger. Phones draw only what they need, so a 100W cable never overloads a phone charging at 18W or 25W.
Who should buy the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable and who should skip it?
Buy the Green Lion Ultra-Thin Braided Cable if you charge a USB-C laptop rated between 60W and 100W, or want one lead for laptop and phone. It suits consultants, developers and university students at Strathmore or USIU. Skip it if you only charge a phone, since a 60W cable does that for less. Owners of 140W laptops such as the 16-inch MacBook Pro need a USB-C cable rated at 240W instead.
Technical Specifications
Charging and Power Delivery
- USB Power Delivery rated at 100W — enough for most USB-C laptops, tablets and phones from one cable and one charger.
- 100W equals 20 volts at 5 amps — a 5-amp rating that ordinary USB-C cables without a chip cannot carry safely.
- Supports Samsung 45W Super Fast Charging on compatible Galaxy phones, which also needs a 5-amp cable to reach full speed.
- Power follows the charger — a 30W adapter gives 30W, while a 100W adapter can deliver its full output to a laptop.
- Both plugs are identical USB-C, so either end can go into the charger, power bank, laptop or phone.
E-Marker Chip and Safety
- Built-in E-Marker chip — a small identity chip that reports the cable's 5-amp rating to the charger and the device.
- Without that chip, chargers cap current at 3 amps, which limits charging to 60W however strong the adapter.
- Protects the cable — the charger only raises current once the chip confirms the wiring can handle it.
- Works safely with inverters, generators and power banks, since the charger or bank regulates the supply before it reaches the cable.
- Phones and small gadgets draw only what they need, so the 100W rating never forces extra power into a phone.
Data Transfer
- 480Mbps data rate, the USB 2.0 standard — suited to photos, documents, music and phone backups to a computer.
- About 60 megabytes a second in theory — a 2GB folder of photos copies in roughly a minute under good conditions.
- Plug-and-play on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux, with no driver or app to install before the first transfer.
- Does not carry video — screen output to a monitor or projector needs a cable that supports DisplayPort over USB-C.
- Handles tethering, so a laptop can share a phone's Safaricom or Airtel Kenya data while both stay connected.
Compatibility
- USB-C to USB-C — connects a USB-C wall charger, power bank, desktop or laptop port to any USB-C device.
- Charges USB-C business laptops, including many HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad and Dell Latitude models rated up to 100W.
- Charges MacBook Air and 14-inch MacBook Pro through their USB-C ports, alongside iPad models and iPhone 15 or later.
- Fits Android phones and tablets from Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Itel, Oppo, Vivo and Redmi, plus USB-C earbuds and speakers.
- Not for micro-USB or Lightning devices, which need a cable with the matching plug at the device end.
Build and Durability
- Ultra-thin body — slimmer than typical 100W laptop cables, so it coils small and bends easily around a desk.
- Braided nylon jacket — the woven outer layer resists fraying, kinks and tangles from daily packing into a bag.
- Metal plug housings — sturdier than plain plastic ends and better at handling repeated plugging into laptop ports.
- 1-metre length — reaches from a wall socket or power strip to a desk or bedside table without slack.
- Black finish — hides dust and everyday marks from bags, car consoles and shared office desks.
