Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable 3M is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,600, brand new and sealed. It has an HDMI plug at one end and a VGA plug at the other, joined by 3 metres of cable. The usual job for the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable is carrying the picture from a laptop or PC with an HDMI port to a projector, monitor or TV that only has a blue VGA input. The picture travels one way only, so tell us your devices before you buy. Find us at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for teachers, trainers, accountants and NGO field staff, the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable handles a problem that still turns up in many Kenyan meeting rooms. New laptops dropped the VGA port years ago, yet plenty of projectors in schools, churches, county offices and boardrooms still take VGA only. Presenters arrive in Upper Hill or Eldoret with a new laptop and find a projector they cannot use. With the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable in the bag, the laptop's HDMI port feeds that projector directly. The 3-metre length lets the laptop sit at the lectern while the projector stays mounted.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell this cable without asking what it will connect, Mascom International checks your setup first. A cable of this type carries the picture in one direction only, so the order of your devices matters. Customers across Nairobi tell us they wasted money on cables that never worked because nobody explained this. Send us the make and model of your laptop, projector or monitor on WhatsApp, and we will confirm the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable suits them. Then collect it from Kimathi Street or pay on delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable
What is the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable 3M price in Kenya?
The Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable 3M sells for KSh 1,600, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price covers a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. It also includes free advice before you buy: send us your device models on WhatsApp and we confirm whether this cable will work. That check matters with this cable more than with most, because the direction of the signal decides whether you see a picture.
Which direction does the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable work in?
The Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable carries the picture one way only, and the common use is an HDMI laptop or PC feeding a VGA projector or monitor. It is not a two-way cable, so reversing the ends does not reverse the signal. A single cable like this cannot turn an old VGA computer's output into HDMI for a modern TV. Before you pay, tell Mascom International on WhatsApp which device sends the picture and which one shows it.
Should I buy the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable or a UGREEN HDMI to VGA converter?
The Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable is one 3-metre lead that does the whole job, while a UGREEN HDMI to VGA converter is a compact powered adapter that needs a separate VGA cable. Mascom International stocks both. Choose the Net Power cable for a tidy, fixed run from a lectern laptop to a projector. Choose the UGREEN converter if you already own a long VGA cable, or want a small adapter that fits in a pocket.
Does the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable carry sound?
No. VGA carries only the picture, so the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable sends video to the projector or monitor and no sound. During a presentation or film, play audio from the laptop's own speakers, or connect a speaker to the laptop's headphone jack or by Bluetooth. Many Kenyan schools and churches already run a separate PA system, so plug the laptop's audio into that. Sound stays with the laptop while the picture goes to the big screen.
Can I connect an old VGA desktop to a new HDMI TV with the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable?
No, the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable is not built to turn an old computer's VGA output into an HDMI picture for a modern TV. That job needs a powered converter that changes the analogue VGA signal into digital HDMI. Many offices in Industrial Area and county headquarters still run older desktops this way. Send Mascom International your computer and TV models on WhatsApp, and our team will tell you what will actually connect them.
How does the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable cope with Kenyan conditions?
The Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable needs no mains power, so it keeps no settings to lose during a KPLC power cut. Once the projector and laptop restart, the picture returns over the same cable. Its 3-metre length suits classrooms at Kenyatta University and JKUAT, where the lectern sits far from a ceiling projector. In dusty rooms, keep the VGA plug's pins clean and capped when stored, because a bent pin can tint the picture or blank it.
Will the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable work with my laptop?
The Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable works with laptops that have a full-size HDMI port, which covers most Windows laptops sold in Kenya, including HP, Lenovo, Dell and ASUS models. Laptops with only USB-C ports need a USB-C to HDMI adapter first, and that extra link can affect whether it works. Once connected, press Windows key plus P to choose Duplicate or Extend. Confirm your laptop model with Mascom International on WhatsApp before paying.
Who should buy the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable if you present from a modern HDMI laptop onto VGA projectors in schools, churches, hotels or county offices, and want one cable with 3 metres of reach. Skip it if your source device only has a VGA output and your screen only takes HDMI; a powered converter is the right fit there. Skip it too if you need sound through the screen, because VGA carries the picture only.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- HDMI plug at one end and a 15-pin VGA plug at the other — the standard connectors on laptops and older projectors.
- Carries the picture in one direction only — the common setup sends video from an HDMI laptop to a VGA display.
- Video only, no sound — VGA was never designed to carry audio, so the laptop or a separate speaker plays the sound.
- Not a reversible cable — swapping the ends does not swap the signal, so the source device must be the right one.
- Cannot convert an old VGA computer's output into HDMI — that job needs a powered converter, which Mascom International can advise on.
- Needs no wall power of its own — nothing to switch on before a lesson, sermon or client presentation starts.
Compatibility
- Suits laptops and desktops with a full-size HDMI output — including most current HP, Lenovo, Dell and ASUS Windows machines.
- Feeds projectors, monitors and older TVs that have a blue 15-pin VGA input — common in classrooms, churches and boardrooms.
- Laptops with only USB-C ports need a USB-C to HDMI adapter first — confirm the combination with us on WhatsApp.
- Works with Windows display settings — press Windows key plus P to duplicate your screen or extend it onto the projector.
- Picture sharpness depends on the projector or monitor at the VGA end — the cable cannot add detail the display lacks.
- Signal direction rules everything — send us your device models before buying, because the wrong order gives a blank screen.
Build
- 3-metre lead — enough to run from a lectern or meeting table to a projector mounted on a ceiling or trolley.
- VGA plug carries two thumbscrews — tighten them into the display's port so the plug cannot work loose mid-presentation.
- HDMI end pushes straight in with no screws — line it up with the laptop's port and press it fully home.
- Keep VGA pins straight and clean — a single bent pin can blank the picture or turn the colours green or purple.
- Coil the cable loosely after use — tight wraps around a laptop charger strain the joints near both plugs over time.
- Run the cable along walls or under mats in busy rooms — a lead across a walkway gets kicked and pulls the plugs loose.
Inclusions
- One Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable 3M — brand new and sealed in its retail pack, ready to use out of the box.
- No separate audio cable — connect a speaker or PA system to the laptop for sound during films and presentations.
- No USB-C adapter — buyers with USB-C-only laptops should ask Mascom International which adapter to pair with this cable.
- No drivers, apps or software — Windows detects the connected display on its own within a few seconds.
- Free pre-purchase check on WhatsApp — we confirm your laptop and projector pairing before you spend KSh 1,600.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed pack is one Net Power VGA to HDMI Cable 3M, fitted with an HDMI plug at one end and a VGA plug with thumbscrews at the other.
