Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 11-in-1 USB-C Docking Station is now available at Mascom International for KSh 5,000 at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This dock turns one USB-C port into eleven connections, including a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slot rated at 10Gbps, a 4K 60Hz HDMI output, 100W USB-C Power Delivery passthrough, a 10Gbps USB-C data port, two 10Gbps USB-A ports, and SD plus microSD card readers. The Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 measures 135 x 42 x 14 millimeters and weighs about 79 grams, so it fits any laptop bag.

Built for software developers, video editors, photographers, accountants, and remote workers across Kenya, the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 solves a problem every modern ultrabook owner knows. Thin laptops from Apple, Dell, HP, and Lenovo now ship with one or two USB-C ports and nothing else, forcing users to choose between charging, a monitor, and storage. The Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 connects all of them at once. Video editors run a 4K monitor, charge the laptop, and read camera SD cards through a single cable instead of juggling three separate adapters on a crowded desk.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya selling basic USB hubs with no storage, the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 carries an internal M.2 NVMe enclosure that converts any spare SSD into a portable drive moving near 900MB/s. Buyers across Kenya rely on the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 because it backs the laptop with 100W passthrough charging, useful during the power interruptions common across Nairobi and upcountry towns. Visit Mascom International to test the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 with your own laptop before purchase, or order for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery from our Kimathi Street store.

Common Questions About the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 USB-C Docking Station

Will the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 work with my MacBook or Windows laptop?
Yes. The Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 connects to any laptop with a full-function USB-C port that supports video output and Power Delivery, covering MacBook Air and Pro from 2018 onward, Dell XPS, HP EliteBook and Spectre, Lenovo ThinkPad and Yoga, ASUS Zenbook, and most USB-C Android tablets. A small number of older or budget laptops have USB-C ports that only carry data, not video or charging, so HDMI output and laptop charging will not work on those. Mascom International recommends testing your specific laptop at our Kimathi Street store before purchase, which we encourage for every dock buyer.

How fast is the built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slot really?
The M.2 NVMe slot connects over USB 3.2 Gen2 at 10Gbps, which translates to real-world transfer speeds near 900MB/s with a compatible NVMe drive. That means a 50GB folder of 4K video footage moves in roughly one minute, compared to eight or nine minutes on an older USB 2.0 flash drive. The slot accepts standard M.2 NVMe SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes.The SSD is not included, so you supply your own or buy one separately at Mascom International.

Can the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 charge my laptop while I work?
Yes. The USB-C Power Delivery port accepts up to 100W from your laptop's own wall charger and passes it through to the laptop while the dock runs everything else. After the dock takes its small share for connected accessories, your laptop receives roughly 85W to 90W, enough to charge a MacBook Air, most ultrabooks, and many 14-inch workstations during active use. You plug your existing USB-C charger into the dock's PD port, then connect the dock to the laptop with one cable. This matters during Nairobi power interruptions when you want the laptop topped up whenever mains returns.

Does the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 support a 4K monitor?
The HDMI port outputs up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, meaning smooth motion and sharp text on external monitors, TVs, and projectors at 3840 x 2160. This suits accountants reading spreadsheets across a large screen, video editors checking colour on a calibrated panel, and developers spreading code across more screen space. At 60Hz the cursor and scrolling stay fluid, unlike cheaper hubs that cap 4K output at a choppy 30Hz. Connect the dock to your monitor with a standard HDMI cable, which Mascom International stocks separately if you need one.

Can I connect wired internet through this dock?
The Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 includes a Gigabit Ethernet port that delivers a stable wired connection up to 1000Mbps. A wired link removes the lag and dropouts common on shared office Wi-Fi, which helps during Zoom and Microsoft Teams calls, large file uploads, and online exams. Software developers pushing code to remote servers and accountants filing KRA returns near deadline get a steadier connection than Wi-Fi provides. Plug a standard network cable from your router or office switch directly into the dock.

How many devices can I connect to the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 at once?
The dock runs all eleven functions together. A typical setup connects a 4K monitor over HDMI, a wired keyboard and mouse on the two 10Gbps USB-A ports, an external drive on the USB-C data port, the laptop charger on the PD port, a camera SD card in the reader, and an installed NVMe SSD, all at the same time. The 79-gram body stays cool under normal office loads. For heavy multi-port use with a large SSD, keeping the laptop charger connected to the PD port keeps every port stable and powered.

Who should buy the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 in Kenya?
This dock suits anyone whose laptop has too few ports for their daily work. Video editors and photographers in Nairobi who pull footage off cameras benefit most from the fast card readers and NVMe storage. Software developers at Westlands and Kilimani tech firms gain a wired network port and dual-screen output. University students at Strathmore, USIU, and the University of Nairobi get a monitor connection, charging, and storage in one compact accessory. Accountants and remote workers running spreadsheets across two screens also gain from the single-cable setup.

What does the Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 cost and what warranty comes with it?
The Lightwave LW-M2/NVME-DOCK-11I1 costs KSh 5,000 at Mascom International, which includes the dock, a USB-C connecting cable, and documentation. Mascom International adds a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, alongside Lightwave's 1-year manufacturer warranty. The M.2 NVMe SSD is sold separately because most buyers already own a spare drive or prefer to choose their own capacity. Mascom International stocks compatible NVMe SSDs, HDMI cables, and USB-C chargers, so you can complete the full setup in one visit to our Kimathi Street store.
