Condition: New

The UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,200, brand new and sealed, in Black or Gray. It carries a 4K picture at 60Hz from a USB-C port to any HDMI screen over a 1.5m nylon braided lead. The UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable uses DisplayPort Alt Mode, the standard that lets a USB-C port send video, and it works with Thunderbolt 3 ports. You can collect one at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in the country.
Built for lawyers, accountants, university students and sales teams across Kenya, the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable solves a daily frustration. The MacBook Air and many slim Windows laptops have no full-size HDMI port, so people end up carrying a bulky hub just to reach a boardroom TV. With the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable, one end goes into the laptop and the other into the screen. A Strathmore student presenting in a lecture hall, or an estate agent showing properties on a client's TV in Kilimani, gets a clear 4K picture with sound in seconds, with no software to install.
Unlike the unbranded cables sold on street stalls, the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable comes from an established accessory maker and carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty. Some low-cost adapters drop to 30Hz at 4K, which makes the mouse pointer feel sluggish; this cable holds 60Hz, so scrolling and video stay fluid. Customers across Nairobi tell us they keep one in the laptop bag and a second at the office in Upper Hill. Walk in to test it on a display at our Kimathi Street counter, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival.
Common Questions About the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable
How much is the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable 1.5m in Kenya?
The UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable 1.5m costs KSh 2,200, sealed in its retail packaging, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you pay by cash or M-Pesa only once the cable is in your hands. There is no charger in the box because it is a video cable. If your monitor uses DisplayPort instead, the UGREEN CM556 USB-C to DisplayPort Cable costs KSh 2,400, which is KSh 200 more.
Will the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable work with my laptop?
The UGREEN MM142 works with any laptop whose USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, including Thunderbolt 3 ports. Check for a small DP logo or a lightning-bolt symbol beside the port. Every MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with USB-C sends video this way, as do most business laptops from HP, Dell and Lenovo. Some budget laptops use USB-C for charging and data only. If you are unsure, bring the laptop to Mascom International and we will test it on a screen first.
Can I connect my phone to a TV with the UGREEN MM142?
Yes, if your phone sends video through its USB-C port. Samsung Galaxy S-series phones support Samsung DeX or mirroring over a cable, and iPhone 15 and later models mirror the screen to a TV through the UGREEN MM142. iPads with USB-C also work. Most budget and midrange Android phones do not output video over USB-C, so the cable will charge nothing and show nothing on them. Send us your phone model on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you buy.
Should I buy the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable or a USB-C hub with an HDMI port?
Buy the UGREEN MM142 if you want one tidy cable that only does video and sound. A hub adds USB-A ports, a card reader and often charging pass-through, but it is another box to carry, and some low-cost hubs limit 4K output to 30Hz. The MM142 does not charge your laptop. Pick a hub if your laptop has a single USB-C port that you also use for power; pick the cable if your laptop has a spare port.
How does the UGREEN MM142 hold up to daily use in Kenya?
The nylon braid on the UGREEN MM142 resists the fraying that kills rubber cables stuffed into bags on matatu and boda boda commutes. Dust is the other enemy in Nairobi, so blow out the USB-C port now and then for a firm connection. During KPLC power cuts, the cable draws no mains power of its own, which means a laptop running on battery keeps your presentation on the TV until the TV itself loses power.
Does the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable carry sound as well as picture?
Yes. HDMI carries audio and video together, so the UGREEN MM142 sends your laptop's sound to the TV speakers or a soundbar connected to the TV. Windows and macOS usually switch the audio output automatically when the cable goes in. If the sound stays on the laptop, open the sound settings and choose the TV as the output device. This makes the cable handy for YouTube, Netflix or a recorded webinar on a living room screen.
Is 1.5m long enough for an office or classroom setup?
For most desks and meeting tables, 1.5m is enough for the UGREEN MM142 to reach a monitor or a TV on a nearby stand. It suits a laptop beside an external monitor, or a boardroom table with the screen at one end. It will not stretch across a lecture hall to a ceiling projector. For long runs, plan to place the laptop near the screen, or ask Mascom International on WhatsApp about longer cable options before you order.
Who should buy the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN MM142 if you own a USB-C laptop or tablet and present on TVs, projectors or office monitors with HDMI inputs. It also suits home offices in Westlands or Kileleshwa where a laptop drives a second screen. Skip it if you run a high-refresh gaming monitor over DisplayPort; the UGREEN CM556 USB-C to DisplayPort Cable fits that better. Skip it too if your laptop already has a full-size HDMI port, because a plain HDMI cable does the job.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- 4K resolution at 60Hz — four times the detail of Full HD, with the screen refreshing 60 times every second for fluid motion.
- Lower resolutions work too — 1080p and 1440p screens connect normally, as the laptop matches whatever the display reports.
- DisplayPort Alt Mode input — the laptop sends a video signal through USB-C and the cable converts it to HDMI for the screen.
- Picture and sound in one lead — HDMI carries audio, so TV speakers or a soundbar play whatever the laptop plays.
- Plug and play — no driver or app to install; Windows, macOS and supported phones detect the screen within seconds.
- Mirror or extend — copy the laptop screen for a presentation, or extend the desktop to work across two screens.
- One-way signal — video flows from USB-C to HDMI only, so it cannot feed an HDMI source into a USB-C monitor.
Compatibility
- USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode — look for a DP logo or lightning-bolt symbol beside the port.
- Thunderbolt 3 compatible — also works on Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 ports, which keep DisplayPort video output.
- MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and USB-C iPads — Apple's USB-C ports send video, so they connect directly to any HDMI screen.
- Samsung Galaxy S-series phones — support DeX or mirroring over a wired connection, turning a TV into a large work screen.
- iPhone 15 and later — the USB-C port mirrors photos, slides and video to a TV.
- Any HDMI display — TVs, projectors, monitors and conference room screens with a standard full-size HDMI input.
- Not for charge-only ports — some budget laptops and most budget Android phones send no video through USB-C.
Build
- Nylon braided jacket — a woven outer layer that resists fraying, kinks and the wear of daily packing better than plain rubber.
- 1.5m length — reaches from a desk to a monitor, or from a meeting table to a TV on a nearby stand.
- Colours — Black or Gray; message us on WhatsApp to confirm which colour is on the shelf today.
- Reversible USB-C plug — goes in either way up, which helps when reaching behind a desk or under a table.
- Full-size HDMI plug — fits every standard HDMI port on TVs, projectors and monitors with no extra adapter.
- No external power — the cable draws the small amount of power it needs from the laptop's USB-C port.
Inclusions
- The UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable, 1.5m, sealed in UGREEN retail packaging.

- 6-month Mascom International warranty, explained in full in the Warranty section below.
- In-store testing on request — try it with your own laptop or phone at our Kimathi Street counter before paying.
Package Contents
The box holds the UGREEN MM142 USB-C to HDMI Cable, 1.5m long, in the colour you choose. It is a single-piece cable, so there is no separate dongle, adapter or power supply to keep track of. There is no charger in the box, because the cable handles video and sound only. If your laptop has one USB-C port that you also charge through, ask our team on WhatsApp about a hub or charger that suits your machine.
