Can the 1m Apple USB C cable charge the 13 inch MacBook Pro at full speed?
I'm wondering if the 1m Apple USB C cable can charge the 13 inch MacBook Pro safely at full speed (i.e. 60W). From my knowledge, all certified USB C cables support 60W charging, which means it should. However, it's really hard to tell if that's actually the case from the website, because the only thing it says on that site is that it's "recommended for use with the iPad Pro and the 18W power adapter."
I know that the 2m Apple USB C cable is able to provide up to 100W of power; however, I am interested specifically in the 1m cable which comes by default with iPads.
I have been looking at Apple support articles and none of them mention anything about this cable—they only talk about the 2m cable.
Yes.1
1In practice, my experience is yes. Every single iPad cable has not been an issue for charging any iPad and 13 Inch MacBook Pro and MacBook One.
@bmike's answer is correct, but there are some details to be aware of with USB-C cables:
-
In some cases, USB-C cables not made by Apple will not work properly (or even at all) with Apple hardware & chargers.
-
In some cases, Apple-manufactured USB-C cables will not work with other devices.
Why? Apple must have cables that are e-Marked, and other devices may require non-e-Marked cables. Standards are wonderful, no?
