Charging Cord for MacBook Air

There are primarily two types of charger cable for MacBook Air:

USB-C cable: This is the standard charging cable for newer MacBook Air models. It has a USB-C connector on both ends and can be used to connect the MacBook Air to a compatible USB-C power adapter or a desktop charging station.

MagSafe cable: This is the charging cable used in older MacBook Air models before the transition to USB-C. It has a magnetic connector that attaches to the laptop, providing power to it.

Yes, you can charge a MacBook Air through its USB-C port. As a matter of fact, USB-C is the standard charging and data transfer port on newer MacBook Air models like MacBook Air (2018), MacBook Air (2019), MacBook Air (2020), and so on.

To determine if a USB-C Apple MacBook Air charger cord supports high-speed charging, you can check the following specifications:

Compatibility with your MacBook Air model: Ensure the cable is compatible with your specific MacBook Air model, as older models might have different charging requirements.

Maximum wattage supported: Look for cables that support higher wattages, such as 60W or higher, as these are indicative of fast charging capabilities.

Compatibility with USB PD: USB PD technology allows for faster and more efficient charging. Ensure the cable explicitly mentions support for USB PD.

Yes, most third-party MacBook Air charging cables from reputable brands like Anker can be trusted. This is because these cables typically have excellent build quality and support high-speed charging well. For example, the Anker 765 USB-C to USB-C Cable (140W Nylon) can withstand up to 35000 bends while supporting 140W max power delivery. However, always avoid unbranded low-quality cables which may pose safety risks.
