The UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,500, brand new and sealed, with one HDMI input, a VGA output, an HDMI output and a 3.5mm audio jack. The UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter takes the HDMI signal from a laptop, mini PC, TV box or console and sends it on to a VGA projector or an HDMI television. Its HDMI port is rated up to 4K and its VGA port carries Full HD 1080p. Pick one up at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for teachers, trainers, pastors, NGO field staff and sales teams across Kenya, the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter solves a problem we hear about every week. A new laptop has only an HDMI port, but the boardroom in Upper Hill or the lecture hall at Kenyatta University still runs a VGA projector. VGA carries no sound, so the converter adds a 3.5mm output for powered speakers or a PA mixer. The HDMI output keeps a modern television or monitor in play, so one small dongle covers old and new screens from the same bag.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded converters that lose the picture after a few weeks, Mascom International stocks genuine UGREEN hardware with gold-plated connectors and an ABS shell. Customers across Nairobi tell us the 30cm lead on the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter takes strain off the laptop's HDMI port on a crowded desk. Buyers throughout Kenya report fewer last-minute scrambles before presentations once the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter lives in their laptop bag. Visit the store to test it on a projector, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter
How much is the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter costs KSh 2,500, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the 6-month Mascom International warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you inspect the converter before you hand over cash or send M-Pesa. It sits KSh 500 above the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter, which converts in the opposite direction. The extra KSh 500 buys a second output, giving you both VGA and HDMI from one HDMI source.
Should I buy the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter or the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter?
Buy the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter when your laptop has HDMI and the screen has VGA; buy the CM513 when it is the other way round. The CM101 takes HDMI in and gives VGA, HDMI and 3.5mm audio out. The CM513 takes VGA from an older computer and turns it into HDMI for a newer TV or monitor. Look at the port on the device sending the picture. A flat HDMI slot means the CM101; a 15-pin VGA socket means the CM513.
Will the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter work with old projectors in schools and offices?
Yes, the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter feeds any projector or monitor with a standard VGA input at up to Full HD 1080p. Many classrooms, county offices and church halls still run VGA projectors bought years ago, and the converter lets a new HDMI-only laptop connect without replacing that equipment. If the projector's native resolution is lower than 1080p, set the laptop to match it for the sharpest image. Plug speakers into the 3.5mm jack, because a VGA cable carries picture only.
Does the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter carry sound?
Yes, the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter passes sound two ways. The HDMI output carries audio and video together, so a TV plays both through its own speakers. VGA carries picture only, so the converter sends the audio out through a 3.5mm jack. Run a 3.5mm cable from that jack to powered speakers, a soundbar's AUX input or a church PA mixer. UGREEN lists audio and video sync for this model, so speech stays matched to lips during videos and online meetings.
Can the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter cope with dust, heat and coastal humidity in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter has an ABS plastic shell and gold-plated connectors, a pairing that handles ordinary Kenyan conditions well. Gold plating resists the tarnish that builds on bare metal contacts in humid Mombasa, which helps keep the picture steady over months of use. Dust is the bigger risk in dry towns and on building sites, so keep the converter in a pouch between uses and blow out the ports now and then. The shell tolerates warm projector rooms and daily commutes in a laptop bag.
Which devices work with the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter?
The UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter works with any device that sends video over a full-size HDMI port. That includes Windows laptops, older MacBook Pro models with HDMI, mini PCs, desktop graphics cards, TV boxes, DStv and GOtv decoders with HDMI, and game consoles. Phones and USB-C laptops need a USB-C to HDMI adapter first. Some streaming boxes and consoles apply HDCP copy protection, which can block the VGA output during paid movies. Confirm your device with Mascom International on WhatsApp before ordering.
Can I use the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter for presentations at work or university?
Yes, the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter is a common fix for students and lecturers at Strathmore, JKUAT and the University of Nairobi whose new laptops lack a VGA port. Plug the HDMI end into the laptop and the projector's VGA cable into the converter. On Windows, press the Windows key and P together to choose Duplicate or Extend. Mac users open Displays in System Settings. Keep it with your charger so a pitch in a Westlands boardroom never waits on borrowed cables.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN CM101 HDMI to VGA and HDMI Converter if you carry an HDMI laptop between rooms with VGA projectors and HDMI TVs, as trainers, sales teams and church media volunteers do. Skip it if your source is an older desktop with only a VGA output; the UGREEN CM513 VGA to HDMI Adapter suits that job. Skip it too if you only ever connect to HDMI screens, because a plain HDMI cable does the work. Gamers chasing high refresh rates should connect by HDMI directly, with no converter in between.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Video Conversion
- HDMI input on a built-in lead — plugs straight into the laptop, console or TV box sending the picture.
- VGA output at up to Full HD 1080p — sharp slides and spreadsheets on most office and classroom projectors still in service.
- HDMI output rated up to 4K — passes a crisp picture through to a modern television, monitor or newer projector.
- 3.5mm audio output — sends sound to speakers or a mixer when the screen is on VGA, which carries no audio.
- Audio and video sync listed by UGREEN — voices stay matched to lips in training videos, sermons and online meetings.
- Active digital-to-analogue conversion inside the shell — turns the laptop's digital HDMI signal into the analogue signal VGA screens read.
Compatibility and Device Support
- Works with any full-size HDMI source — Windows laptops, mini PCs, desktop graphics cards, TV boxes, decoders and game consoles.
- Driver-free plug-and-play — no software to install, so it works on locked-down office laptops where IT blocks downloads.
- Suits Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS machines with HDMI — the operating system sees an ordinary external display.
- Phones, tablets and USB-C laptops need a USB-C to HDMI adapter in front — Mascom International stocks those too.
- HDCP-protected movie streams may not show on the VGA output — work slides, documents and browsers display normally.
- Duplicate or extend the desktop from display settings — mirror your screen for a class, or keep notes private while presenting.
Build and Durability
- ABS plastic shell — light, rigid housing that handles bag pockets and repeated plugging in and out.
- Gold-plated connectors — resist tarnish and corrosion, helping hold a steady signal in humid coastal rooms.
- 30cm lead between plug and body — takes weight and strain off the laptop's HDMI port during long sessions.
- Compact single-body design — small enough for a laptop sleeve, a trainer's kit bag or a pastor's briefcase.
- Black finish — blends with laptops, projectors and AV racks without drawing attention on a lectern.
Inclusions and Ownership
