Replacement 2020 M1 MacBook Pro 13-inch power cable.

the recipe goes like this:

first, identify your MacBook Pro using this article:

Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support

then run that through this article:

Use a power adapter with your Mac - Apple Support

you get this answer:

13-inch MacBook Pro models introduced in 2016 or later

Apple 61W USB-C Power Adapter and USB-C Charge Cable

These are NOT magical, just a certain type USB-C cables.

USB-C cables Charing ability comes in one of three variants:

• 'standard' 60 Watts charing cables

• premium 100 Watts charging cables

• super premium 240 Watts charging cables

you just need to search for the higher-rated variants, and pay slightly more.

...and to make this more complex, there are Charge-ONLY cables, and there are Charge AND data cables, and either will do the job.

--------

It makes me crazy when I pick up a USB-C cable and expect it to carry data as well, only to find out an hour later that the cable is a charge-ONLY cable. So I always label charge-ONLY cables with colored tape, marker, or similar tags.

Sorry, I left it too late to edit, but it is this type of power adaptor I need the cable for.

Thanks for that.

I never knew that about the data etc.

I have ordered a 100w charging cable, as I don't need it for data.

Thanks for the reply.
