UGREEN US530 140W USB-C to MagSafe 3 Charging Cable 2m | PD 3.1 | E-Marker Chip | Nylon Braided | Aluminum Connectors | LED Indicator
Powering MacBook Pro and MacBook Air owners across Kenya with a verified replacement lead that matches Apple's own wattage ceiling.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
UGREEN US530 140W USB-C to MagSafe 3 Charging Cable 2m is now available at Mascom International for KSh 5,000, in stock at our Nairobi CBD store at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The cable carries Apple's MagSafe 3 magnetic connector on one end and a standard USB-C plug on the other, supports up to 140W USB Power Delivery 3.1 at 28V/5A, and integrates a built-in E-Marker chip for safe current regulation. A 2-metre nylon-braided jacket with aluminum alloy connector shells gives the UGREEN US530 the build quality MacBook owners expect from a daily-use power cable.
The UGREEN US530 140W MagSafe 3 cable serves MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch users from 2021 onward, plus MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch owners on the M2 and M3 MagSafe 3 models. Software developers running Xcode builds in Westlands offices, video editors cutting 4K footage on Final Cut Pro in Kilimani studios, and architects rendering CAD projects in Upper Hill all need a charging cable that can sustain 140W without throttling. The UGREEN US530 replaces lost or damaged original Apple MagSafe 3 cables for buyers who do not want to pay Apple's KSh 8,500+ price tag at Apple-authorised resellers in Nairobi.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya stocking generic USB-C to MagSafe leads that cap at 60W or 100W, Mascom International stocks the UGREEN US530 with verified PD 3.1 support and the full 140W ceiling required by the 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Max. Users consistently report the magnetic connection holds firmly to the MacBook port while still releasing safely if someone trips on the cable. Visit our Kimathi Street store Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM to test the UGREEN US530 against your own MacBook before purchase, or order with countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Frequently Asked Questions About the UGREEN US530
What MacBook models does the UGREEN US530 cable work with?
The UGREEN US530 supports every MacBook with a MagSafe 3 port. That covers MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch from 2021 onward (M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2 Pro, M2 Max, M3 Pro, M3 Max, M4 Pro, M4 Max), and the MacBook Air 13-inch M2 from 2022, MacBook Air 13-inch M3 from 2024, and MacBook Air 15-inch M2 and M3 models. The cable is not designed for older USB-C MacBooks that lack a MagSafe 3 port, and it does not work with iPhone, iPad, or non-Apple devices.
Does the UGREEN US530 charge as fast as the original Apple MagSafe 3 cable?
Yes, the UGREEN US530 matches Apple's original 140W charging speed when paired with a 140W USB-C PD 3.1 adapter. The cable's E-Marker chip negotiates the full 28V/5A profile required by the MacBook Pro 16-inch, the only MacBook model that actually pulls 140W. With a 67W or 96W adapter, charging speed is limited by the adapter, not the cable. Customers using Apple's 140W brick or compatible third-party 140W PD chargers from UGREEN, Anker, or Baseus report identical charge times to the original Apple cable.
How long does it take to charge a MacBook Pro 16-inch with this cable?
A MacBook Pro 16-inch paired with a 140W USB-C PD 3.1 adapter and the UGREEN US530 reaches around 50 percent in 30 minutes. A full charge from empty takes approximately 1 hour 50 minutes under typical idle conditions. Charging speed slows after 80 percent to protect battery longevity, which is standard macOS behaviour. For MacBook Pro 14-inch users with a 96W adapter, the same cable supports the full 96W draw and charges to 50 percent in around 30 minutes through MacBook's optimised battery management.
What makes the UGREEN US530 different from cheap KSh 1,500 MagSafe cables in Kenya?
Three factors separate the UGREEN US530 from the KSh 1,500 to KSh 2,500 unbranded MagSafe cables sold around River Road and Luthuli Avenue. First, the built-in E-Marker chip handles PD 3.1 negotiation at 28V/5A, which generic cables cannot do safely. Second, the nylon-braided jacket and aluminum alloy connectors resist fraying for 18 to 24 months of daily use rather than 3 to 6 months. Third, UGREEN's regional warranty backs the cable against manufacturing defects, where unbranded leads carry no support after purchase.
Does the UGREEN US530 cable carry data or charge only?
The UGREEN US530 is a charging cable only. Data transfer is not supported because the MagSafe 3 connector on the MacBook side is designed exclusively for power delivery. MacBook owners needing data transfer should use the Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C ports directly with a separate USB-C to USB-C cable. The UGREEN US530's amber LED indicator lights up during active charging and switches to green once the MacBook battery reaches 100 percent, giving a visual cue without checking the macOS menu bar.
Is 2 metres long enough for typical MacBook charging setups in Kenya?
The 2-metre length suits most home, office, and co-working setups across Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu. Users charging from a wall socket below a desk in Workstyle Africa, Nairobi Garage, or Regus Westlands get enough reach for the MacBook to sit comfortably on the desk surface. The 2-metre length also covers most hotel desks in Sarova Stanley, Movenpick, and Trademark Hotel rooms during business travel. For seating arrangements far from a wall socket, the cable pairs with UGREEN's 65W and 140W Nexode wall chargers for extension.
Can I use the UGREEN US530 with a USB-C power bank for travel?
Yes, any USB-C power bank supporting PD 3.1 output works with the UGREEN US530. UGREEN's own PB205 25000mAh 145W power bank, sold separately at Mascom International, pairs ideally the combination charges a MacBook Pro 14-inch fully and still has capacity for additional top-ups. Power banks limited to PD 3.0 (100W or less) still work but cap output at their rated wattage. Field journalists, NGO staff working in Turkana or Marsabit, and consultants travelling between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam find this combination useful for off-grid charging.
How does the UGREEN US530 compare to the Anker 140W USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable?
Anker's 140W MagSafe 3 cable sells in Kenya for around KSh 7,500 to KSh 9,000, while the UGREEN US530 sits at KSh 5,000 at Mascom International. Both cables match the 140W PD 3.1 specification, both use braided jackets, and both carry E-Marker chips. Anker's connector housing feels marginally heavier and its braiding is slightly tighter, but functional performance is identical. UGREEN's 12-month manufacturer warranty and the KSh 2,500 to KSh 4,000 price difference make the US530 the better value for buyers who want verified 140W performance.
