Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable | 2 Meter Length | 140W Power Delivery | Woven Braided Build | Magnetic Connector | LED Charging Indicator
Genuine Replacement Lead for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with Safe Snap-Off Detach, Status Light, and Fast Refill Support up to Half Battery in 30 Minutes
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable , 2 meters long with woven braided construction, magnetic snap-on tip, integrated LED indicator, and support for up to 140W charging, is now available at KSh 9,000 from Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This is the genuine Apple-manufactured charging cable carrying model number A2363, the same cable Apple uses in its own retail stores and packs with the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro at point of sale. Pair this Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable with any Apple USB-C wall adapter rated 67W, 70W, 96W, or 140W to complete a working MacBook charging kit, or use it as a replacement when your original cable has frayed, broken, or gone missing.
The Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable is the right purchase for MacBook owners across Kenya who need a dependable charging lead for daily professional use - business executives running back-to-back meetings, content creators editing footage on location, university students moving between hostel and lecture halls, software developers handling long compilation sessions, and freelance professionals working from cafes and co-working spaces around Nairobi. The magnetic detach feature solves a real problem for anyone who has ever tripped over a charging cord or pulled a laptop off a desk by accident - the connector releases under tension instead of dragging your MacBook to the floor. For households and offices where multiple family members or colleagues share workspace, this magnetic safety mechanism prevents thousands of shillings in accidental damage.
Mascom International stocks the Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable in genuine sealed Apple packaging, distinct from the third-party copies sold across many Kenyan accessory shops at lower prices but with significant quality and safety compromises. Customers consistently report that aftermarket MagSafe-style cables from generic suppliers fail within months, deliver inconsistent charging speeds, sometimes refuse to fast-charge at all, and occasionally damage the MacBook charging circuitry through poor power regulation. Buying the authentic Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable from Mascom International protects an investment that often costs over KSh 200,000 for the MacBook itself, with full Apple warranty coverage on the cable plus our own 24-month replacement assurance against manufacturing defects.
What MacBook models work with this charging cable?
The Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable works with every MacBook released since late 2021 that carries a MagSafe 3 charging port. The full list covers MacBook Air 13-inch (2022 M2), MacBook Air 15-inch (2023 M2), MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch (2024 M3), MacBook Air 13-inch and 15-inch (2025 M4), MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021, 2023, 2024), and MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021, 2023, 2024). The cable also supports the M5 MacBook Pro range that Apple shipped in late 2025. It will not work with older MacBook models carrying the original MagSafe or MagSafe 2 ports, and it is not designed for iPhone or iPad charging - those devices use direct USB-C or Lightning connections. If you own a MacBook with the small magnetic charging port on the left side rather than a USB-C port for charging, this cable matches your machine.
Why choose Apple's own cable instead of a cheaper alternative?
Genuine Apple manufacturing means the Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable handles the full power delivery range your MacBook expects, with proper signaling between the wall adapter and the MacBook charging controller. Third-party cables often cap silently at 60W or 96W even when sold as 140W-rated, meaning a 16-inch MacBook Pro that should fast-charge cannot reach its proper refill speed. The genuine cable also passes Apple's MFi-equivalent quality control for internal wire gauge, shielding, and connector durability - the woven braided exterior resists fraying at the strain points where most cables fail first. Inside the magnetic connector, the contact points are precision-machined to maintain consistent electrical contact through thousands of attach-and-detach cycles. Generic cables often show visible discoloration on the magnetic tip after a few months of daily use, indicating poor electrical contact that wastes energy as heat and slowly damages the MacBook's charging port. Customers who have replaced cheap aftermarket cables with the authentic Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable from Mascom International report immediate improvements in charging speed, connection reliability, and the small but practical detail of the LED indicator actually working as designed.
How fast does the Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable charge a MacBook?
Charging speed depends on which Apple USB-C wall adapter you pair with the cable, and which MacBook you are charging. Apple confirms fast charging up to 50 percent battery in around 30 minutes when you connect a 140W USB-C Power Adapter with the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable to a 16-inch MacBook Pro, and the same 50 percent in 30 minutes result on the 14-inch MacBook Pro using a 96W USB-C Power Adapter with the same cable. MacBook Air models from 2022 onward also fast-charge to 50 percent in around 30 minutes when paired with the 140W, 96W, or 70W USB-C Power Adapter through the USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable. For business professionals who need a quick charging stop between client meetings around Nairobi CBD, this means dropping into a coffee shop for half an hour delivers enough battery to get through an afternoon of presentations, video calls, and document work. Lower-wattage adapters such as the 30W or 35W bricks Apple ships with smaller MacBook Air configurations still work with this cable, but they will not deliver the half-hour fast charge - regular charging through these smaller adapters typically takes 90 to 120 minutes for a full battery refill.
What does the magnetic detach feature actually do during daily use?
The MagSafe 3 magnetic connector grips your MacBook charging port firmly enough to hold the cable in place during normal use, but releases cleanly when the cable is yanked sideways or pulled with force. This is the safety mechanism that has made MagSafe legendary among MacBook owners for over fifteen years. In practical terms, when a child runs through your home office and catches the cord, the cable pops off rather than pulling your MacBook off the desk. When you stand up too quickly at a coffee shop and forget the cord is plugged in, the connector releases instead of dragging the laptop across the table. The connector aligns automatically when you bring it close to the port - the magnetic field guides the plug into correct orientation without forcing you to look at the port or fumble in the dark. For matatu commuters working on a MacBook during the morning ride to Nairobi, the magnetic release prevents repeated minor tugs from damaging the charging port, an issue that costs significant money to repair on USB-C-only MacBook models that lack this magnetic safety.
How does the LED charging indicator help during real working sessions?
The Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable carries a small LED ring at the magnetic connector that lights amber while your MacBook is charging and turns green when the battery reaches full charge. This visual feedback means you can confirm proper connection without waking the MacBook screen or checking battery status through macOS. When you plug in before bed, a single glance confirms charging started - no surprise drained battery in the morning. During working sessions, the green light signals the battery is topped up and the cable is now drawing minimal power, which helps users decide when to unplug and switch to battery operation. For travel scenarios where MacBook owners use shared power outlets in airports, hotels, and conference venues, the LED provides immediate confirmation that the connection is solid even when the screen is closed and the laptop is in standby mode. Cheap aftermarket cables often skip the LED ring entirely or include a non-functional decorative light, leaving users guessing whether their MacBook is actually receiving power.
Why is the woven braided construction important for cable longevity?
The Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable uses a fabric-woven outer jacket rather than the smooth rubber or PVC coating found on older Apple cables and most third-party alternatives. This braided construction resists kinking, tangling, and the eventual cracking that plagues plastic-coated cables stored in laptop bags day after day. The most common failure point on charging cables is the area where the wire meets the connector head - repeated bending at this junction snaps the internal copper strands over time. The woven sleeve distributes bending forces across a wider area, extending the effective working life of the cable significantly compared to smooth-jacketed alternatives. For Kenyan users who carry MacBooks across Nairobi traffic, on weekend trips to Mombasa, Kisumu, or Nakuru, and into varied office environments throughout the workweek, this build quality difference translates directly into avoiding repeat cable purchases every twelve to eighteen months.
Can I use this cable with non-Apple USB-C power adapters?
Yes - the Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable works with any USB-C Power Delivery adapter that meets the wattage requirement for your MacBook. A third-party 100W or 140W USB-C PD adapter from Anker, Ugreen, Belkin, or Baseus paired with this cable will charge your MacBook properly, including fast charging on supported models. This flexibility matters for travelers who already own multi-port USB-C adapters for charging phones, tablets, and laptops from a single wall plug, and for office setups where a single high-wattage adapter feeds multiple devices through interchangeable cables. The cable handles the power negotiation between the third-party adapter and the MacBook charging controller correctly, including thermal protection and overcurrent cutoff. For Kenyan users buying replacement adapters through different retail channels, this means you are not locked into Apple's wall adapters alone - the cable carries the value either way. Mascom International also stocks Apple's own 67W, 96W, and 140W USB-C Power Adapters separately for customers who want a complete genuine Apple charging kit.
Who should buy the Apple USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable in Kenya?
Anyone owning a MacBook with the magnetic charging port who needs a second cable for travel, a backup at the office, or a replacement for a damaged original. Business executives running offices across Nairobi CBD, Westlands, Karen, and Upper Hill benefit from keeping one cable at home and one at the workplace, eliminating the daily hassle of packing and unpacking the charging kit. Content creators and video editors working on location across Kenya appreciate having a long 2-meter cable that reaches between distant power outlets and where they actually want to sit and edit. University students at USIU, Strathmore, Kenyatta University, University of Nairobi, JKUAT, and other institutions running heavy academic workloads on MacBooks find the magnetic safety feature genuinely useful in shared library and hostel environments where cables get bumped frequently. Software developers and IT professionals supporting MacBooks across client sites need authentic replacement cables that match what their clients expect from a corporate-issue device. Photographers and creative professionals working in studios and on-location shoots use the long cable length to maintain charging without restricting movement.
How does this compare to USB-C charging on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air?
Modern MacBooks with MagSafe 3 ports also accept charging through their regular USB-C ports - you do not strictly need this cable to charge the laptop. However, charging through MagSafe 3 frees up the USB-C ports for other uses such as external displays, fast SSDs, audio interfaces, and accessory hubs during work sessions. For 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro users who run docking station setups, the MagSafe 3 connection means the dock occupies one or two USB-C ports while the dedicated charging cable handles power separately. The magnetic safety detach is also unique to MagSafe 3 - charging through USB-C provides no equivalent protection if someone trips over the cord. Heavy professional workloads on the 16-inch MacBook Pro pull more power than USB-C can deliver during sustained high-load sessions, while MagSafe 3 with the 140W adapter supplies the full peak power the M-series Max chips can draw. For these reasons, professionals who chose the MacBook Pro specifically for demanding work often prefer MagSafe 3 charging as the daily default and reserve the USB-C ports for productivity accessories.
