61W Magnetic Lightning Cable for MacBook

This magnetic charging cable delivers up to 61W of power and is designed for MacBook models A1278 and A1286 released between 2007 and 2012. It requires a separate USB-C Power Delivery charger rated at 60W or 20V to function. The 6ft length offers flexible placement at a desk or bedside. It is intended for users who need a replacement magnetic connector for compatible legacy MacBooks.

Replaces worn or lost MagSafe 1 connectors

The cable serves as a direct substitute for the original MagSafe 1 charger cable on supported MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air models from the 2007 to 2012 era. The upgrade is worthwhile when the original cable frays, the connector pins fail, or the strain relief cracks near the magnetic head. It is not for owners of newer MacBooks that use USB-C or MagSafe 2 and 3 charging ports.

Simple magnetic attachment

Installation is as simple as plugging the USB-C end into a qualifying 60W PD charger and bringing the magnetic tip near the MacBook charging port where it snaps into place. The reversible tip works in either orientation. A built-in LED shows orange while charging and green when the battery is full. Common issues arise if the paired charger is underpowered or non-PD, which prevents charging entirely. The TPE jacket resists stains and wipes clean. Buyers who need a charger included or who own post-2012 MacBooks cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

What power supply does the 61 W magnetic cable require?

It needs a USB-C Power Delivery charger rated at 60 W / 20 V or higher; a lower-powered adapter will not charge the MacBook.

How do I attach the magnetic connector correctly?

Align the magnetic tip with the MacBook's MagSafe port — it snaps on either face; forcing it sideways can bend the pins.

When should I replace the 6 ft TPE cable?

Replace it if the sheath shows cuts, the magnetic tip no longer holds firmly, or the indicator light stops changing from orange to green.
