Mascom International stocks the Net Power Printer Cable 3 metre at KSh 550, brand new and sealed, for anyone whose printer sits too far from the computer for a short lead. It is a standard USB printer lead, with a flat Type A plug for the computer and a square Type B plug for the printer. The Net Power Printer Cable gives you 3 metres of reach, which is double the common 1.5-metre size. Pick one up at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered with payment on arrival.
Designed for cyber café owners, school ICT labs, clinic receptionists and logistics coordinators, the Net Power Printer Cable handles layouts where the printer cannot sit on the same desk. A short lead forces people to crowd a laser printer next to the keyboard, or stretch a cable until it tugs at the port. That strain loosens sockets over time and causes jobs to stop halfway. With the Net Power Printer Cable, the printer can sit on a side table, a shelf or a separate counter. Cyber cafés in Eldoret and Kisumu printing KUCCPS forms and CVs all day benefit from that tidy spacing.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell leads with no stated length, Mascom International lists the Net Power Printer Cable at a clear 3 metres, so you can measure your room before buying. At Mascom International, we're seeing more offices move printers away from desks to cut noise and toner dust near staff. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a longer lead is the cheapest fix for a cramped workstation. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to handle the Net Power Printer Cable yourself, or order it on WhatsApp for delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the Net Power Printer Cable
What is the Net Power Printer Cable 3M price in Kenya?
The Net Power Printer Cable 3M sells for KSh 550 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. The price includes a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. Delivery across Kenya is pay-on-arrival, so you pay the rider in cash or by M-Pesa only after checking the seal. Walk-in buyers can pay with Lipa na M-Pesa at our Kimathi Street counter. Offices kitting out several workstations at once can ask us on WhatsApp about current stock levels before sending a rider.
Should I buy the Net Power Printer Cable 3M or the 1.5-metre Net Power USB Printer Cable?
The Net Power Printer Cable 3M costs KSh 550, while the Net Power USB Printer Cable at 1.5 metres costs KSh 370, a KSh 180 difference. Both come from the same brand and use the same Type A to Type B plugs. The only real choice is reach. Choose the 3-metre lead when the printer sits on another table, shelf or counter. Choose the 1.5-metre lead when the printer shares a desk with the computer, since extra cable just coils up behind it.
Is a 3-metre Net Power Printer Cable too long for reliable printing?
No, a 3-metre length is well within normal USB limits, and the Net Power Printer Cable should print as reliably as a shorter lead. The USB 2.0 standard, which printer leads of this kind typically follow, allows a single passive cable of up to 5 metres. Problems usually start only beyond that, or when several extension leads are chained together. Avoid joining this cable to another USB extension. If you need more than 5 metres, a network or Wi-Fi printer is the better route.
Can the Net Power Printer Cable cope with humid offices in Mombasa and rainy-season damp?
The Net Power Printer Cable is a sealed, passive lead, so ordinary humidity in Mombasa, Malindi or Nairobi's long rains does not affect how it carries data. The weak point in damp air is the metal contacts on each plug, which can tarnish over months. Keep the plugs seated in their ports rather than hanging loose on the floor. Route the cable away from windows that let rain in, and away from mopped floors. A quick wipe of each plug before reconnecting keeps the contacts clean.
Who should buy the Net Power Printer Cable, and who should skip it?
The Net Power Printer Cable is right for anyone whose printer stands more than an arm's length from the computer, such as reception desks, school labs and cyber cafés. It also suits home offices where the printer lives on a shelf. Skip it if your printer sits right beside your laptop; the 1.5-metre Net Power USB Printer Cable at KSh 370 does that job for less. Skip it too if your printer connects only by Wi-Fi or has a USB-C port, since this lead will not help.
Can I run the Net Power Printer Cable along a wall or under a carpet in a cyber café?
Yes, 3 metres gives the Net Power Printer Cable enough slack to follow a wall edge or skirting board instead of crossing a walkway. Fix it with adhesive cable clips every half metre so it cannot be kicked loose. Avoid running it under a carpet where chairs roll, because repeated pressure can damage the wires inside. Keep it apart from power extension cords where you can. Many Nairobi cyber cafés in Ngara and along Moi Avenue use trunking along the wall for exactly this reason.
Will the Net Power Printer Cable connect a receipt printer or label printer at a shop counter?
The Net Power Printer Cable connects any receipt or label printer that has a square USB Type B socket, and many thermal printers at shop counters do. That makes it handy in supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware shops where the till computer sits apart from the receipt printer. Some newer point-of-sale printers use USB-C, Ethernet or Bluetooth instead, so check the socket first. Send a photo of the port to Mascom International on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fit within minutes.
What should I do if my computer does not detect the printer after connecting the Net Power Printer Cable?
First, make sure both plugs on the Net Power Printer Cable are pushed in fully and the printer is switched on. Then try a different USB port on the computer, preferably one at the back of a desktop rather than the front panel. Install the latest driver from the printer maker's website if Windows or macOS does not find it automatically. Restart both machines after installing. If the printer still does not appear, bring the cable and your receipt to our Kimathi Street shop so our team can check it.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- Standard USB printer lead — carries print jobs from the computer and status messages, such as low ink, back from the printer.
- 3-metre length — lets the printer stand on a separate table, shelf or counter instead of crowding the computer desk.
- Type A male plug — the flat, wide plug that fits the ordinary USB ports on laptops, desktops and USB hubs.
- Type B male plug — the square plug with two sloped corners that fits most desktop printers, scanners and all-in-ones.
- Wired, direct link — no router, Wi-Fi password or network setup needed, which suits offices with unreliable or shared internet.
- Data carried in both directions — scanners and all-in-ones send pages back to the computer along the same cable.
Compatibility
- Fits printers from HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Kyocera and other makers that use the common square USB Type B socket.
- Works with Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS computers that have a full-size USB-A port on the side or back.
- Suits thermal receipt and label printers with a Type B socket, common at supermarket tills, pharmacies and hardware counters.
- Laptops with only USB-C ports need a USB-C to USB-A adapter, bought separately, before this lead can plug in.
- Will not fit printers with Micro-USB, Mini-USB or USB-C sockets — check the port shape on your printer before ordering.
- Plugs into newer USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 ports on the computer side, since those ports accept standard USB plugs.
Length and Build
- 3 metres of cable — roughly the width of a small office, enough to cross from a desk to a wall-side printer table.
- Twice the reach of a 1.5-metre lead — the extra slack prevents the cable from tugging on either port when furniture moves.
- Within the 5-metre limit for a single passive USB 2.0 cable, so length alone should not cause dropped connections.
- Passive design with no electronics inside — nothing to power, charge or configure, and nothing to reset after a blackout.
- Made by Net Power — sold sealed and unused, so there are no hidden kinks, nicks or bent contacts from a previous owner.
- Longer cables need tidier routing — clip it along a wall edge so it never crosses a walkway or catches on chair wheels.
Inclusions and After-Sales Help
- One Net Power Printer Cable, 3 metres long, in sealed retail packaging — check the seal before paying the rider.
- No driver disc included — get the newest printer driver from the printer maker's website, or let the operating system install one.
- No USB-C adapter included — arrange one separately if your laptop lacks a full-size USB-A port.
- Backed by a 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Free fit check on WhatsApp — send a photo of your printer's socket and our team confirms compatibility before you order.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed pack is a single Net Power Printer Cable, 3 metres long, with a Type A plug at one end and a Type B plug at the other. Nothing else is included: there is no driver disc, adapter, cable clip or printer power lead. Many new printers sold in Kenya come without any USB lead, so this cable is often the missing piece. Confirm the seal is unbroken before you pay on delivery.
Warranty
The Net Power Printer Cable comes with a 6-month warranty from Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Should the lead fail because of a fault in how it was built, bring it and your receipt to our service desk at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where our team will process the claim.
