Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher at KSh 1,600, brand new and sealed, a two-way HDMI 2.0 switch that runs 4K at 60Hz. The UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher connects two sources to one screen, or one source to two screens, and you choose the active one with a single button. It supports HDR, HDCP 2.2 and 3D, and it needs no power adapter. The aluminium alloy body sits neatly beside a TV or behind a wall bracket. Pick it up at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD, or order for delivery.
Built for families, mobile and console gamers, hostel students and small office teams across Kenya, the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher solves a problem that grows with every new device. Many televisions have only one or two HDMI ports, and they fill fast once a PS5, a DStv or GOtv decoder, a TV box and a laptop arrive. Reaching behind a wall-mounted TV in a Kilimani flat to swap cables wears out ports. The switcher keeps two sources plugged in, so a button press moves from Premier League football to gaming without anyone climbing behind the screen.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded HDMI boxes that cap out at 1080p or flicker on 4K content, Mascom International carries the genuine UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher rated for HDMI 2.0 bandwidth. Customers across Nairobi tell us the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher ends the nightly cable swap between console and decoder. Buyers throughout Kenya report the reverse mode is handy for moving a laptop between a monitor and a projector. Test the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher at our counter, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher
How much is the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher 2 In 1 Out in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher costs KSh 1,600, 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 check the box before paying cash or by M-Pesa. There is no power adapter to buy, because the switcher draws what it needs through HDMI. You only add HDMI cables if you do not already have enough for both sources and the screen.
Is the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher the same as an HDMI splitter?
No, the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher shows one source or one screen at a time, while an HDMI splitter sends the same picture to two screens at once. In 2 In 1 Out mode, it picks between two devices feeding one TV. In 1 In 2 Out mode, it sends one device to either of two screens, chosen by the button. Choose a splitter if a church or classroom needs the same slides on two displays together. Choose the CM217 for switching.
Does the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher support 4K 60Hz for PS5 and Xbox gaming?
Yes, the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher passes 4K at 60Hz, 2K at 120Hz and 1080p at 144Hz over HDMI 2.0. That covers 4K play on a PS5 or Xbox Series X at 60 frames per second, and higher frame rates on a 1440p or 1080p gaming monitor. It also passes HDR for brighter highlights in supported games. Consoles set to 4K at 120Hz need HDMI 2.1, so they will drop to 60Hz through this switch. Most Kenyan living-room TVs run 60Hz anyway.
Does the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher need power, and is it safe during KPLC power cuts?
The UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher needs no power adapter or USB lead; it runs on the small current carried by the HDMI connection. That leaves one less plug on a crowded extension and one less part to fail when KPLC power returns with a surge. When the lights go out, the switcher simply stops along with the TV and restarts with it. Protect the TV, decoder and console with a surge protector or UPS, since those are the costlier parts.
Will the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher work with DStv, GOtv, Startimes and streaming boxes?
Yes, the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher works with DStv, GOtv and Startimes decoders, Android TV boxes, Fire TV sticks and laptops that output HDMI. It supports HDCP 2.2, the copy-protection standard that Netflix, Showmax and DStv apps check before playing paid content. Without HDCP 2.2, many switches show a blank screen on paid shows. Plug the decoder into one input and a console or TV box into the other, then press the button to swap between them.
Can I use the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher to share one laptop between a monitor and a projector?
Yes, flip the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher into 1 In 2 Out mode and one laptop feeds either a desk monitor or a projector. Plug the laptop into the single port, then connect the monitor and projector to the other two. Press the button to move the picture between them, one screen at a time. Trainers and lecturers at USIU and Strathmore use this to avoid replugging under the desk. For both screens together, use the laptop's own extra display port.
Is the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher sturdy enough for daily use in Kenyan homes?
The UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher has an aluminium alloy casing and gold-plated HDMI connectors, so it handles daily button presses and dust better than plastic boxes. Metal also sheds warmth from a cabinet that sits near a decoder all day. Gold plating resists the corrosion that humidity brings in coastal homes from Mombasa to Malindi. Keep it off the floor where it can be kicked, and wipe dust off the ports during cleaning. The small body fits behind most wall-mounted TVs.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher if your TV or monitor has fewer HDMI ports than devices, or if you move one laptop between two screens. Gamers, families, hostel rooms and home offices get the most from it. Skip it if you need three or more sources, since it has two inputs only. Skip it too if you want 4K at 120Hz from a PS5 Pro or gaming PC; an HDMI 2.1 switch suits that better. Two-screen mirroring calls for a splitter.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Switching
- Two inputs to one output — keep a console and a decoder connected to a single TV port at once.
- One input to two outputs in reverse — send one laptop or console to either of two screens.
- Manual push button — changes the active source or screen with one press, with no remote to lose.
- One active signal at a time — this is a switch, so it does not mirror to two screens together.
- Bi-directional ports — the same box covers both jobs, so there is no wrong way to buy it.
Video and Picture Support
- HDMI 2.0 throughout — enough bandwidth for 4K content without dropping to a lower resolution.
- 4K at 60Hz — smooth 4K television, streaming and console games on Ultra HD sets.
- 2K at 120Hz and 1080p at 144Hz — higher frame rates on gaming monitors for smoother motion.
- HDR passthrough — brighter highlights and deeper shadows on HDR-ready TVs and games.
- 3D video support — older 3D Blu-ray discs still play on compatible televisions.
Compatibility and Copy Protection
- HDCP 2.2 support — paid Netflix, Showmax and DStv content plays without a blank screen.
- Works with consoles, laptops, PCs, decoders, Blu-ray players, TV boxes, monitors, projectors and TVs.
- No drivers and no power adapter — plug in the cables and it starts working at once.
- Bus-powered over HDMI — frees a socket on the extension board behind the TV.
- Consoles set to 4K 120Hz fall back to 60Hz — HDMI 2.1 output needs an HDMI 2.1 switch.
Build and Inclusions
- Aluminium alloy casing — sturdier than plastic and helps spread warmth inside a closed TV cabinet.
- Gold-plated HDMI ports — resist tarnish in humid rooms, which helps keep the picture stable.
- Black finish — blends with TVs, decoders and consoles on a media shelf.

- 6-month Mascom International warranty — claims handled at the Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
The sealed UGREEN retail box contains one UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher. HDMI cables are not packed with it, so plan for up to three: two to connect your sources and one to reach the screen, or the reverse in 1 In 2 Out mode. Your existing console and decoder cables often do the job. Mascom International sells HDMI 2.0 cables in several lengths at the Kimathi Street counter.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the UGREEN CM217 HDMI Switcher with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Bring the switcher and your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk in Old Mutual Building, and our team will assess and handle the claim.
