If you’re buying a new 12-inch MacBook and scrambling to find cables that work with the laptop’s new USB Type-C port, you have more options than Apple’s pricey cables.
Six TED Talks that can change your career
These talks will help you reshape how you approach work and see your career in a new light.
MacBook users can instead buy less expensive USB Type -C cables from third parties. The new MacBook also can work with third-party USB Type-C chargers, a big change from the company’s proprietary MagSafe chargers, which are used for other MacBooks.
The MacBook has just one USB Type-C port, and MacBook owners may need to buy a range of cables for charging and connections to monitors or external peripherals.
“Your MacBook will charge from USB-C power adapters not manufactured by Apple if they adhere to the USB Power Delivery specification,” Apple said on a support page updated this week.
It will also be possible to use third-party cables to connect the 12-inch MacBook to ethernet via the USB Type-C port, Apple said on the support page.
The new MacBook was the first laptop introduced with the USB Type-C port. Apple has generally supported third-party USB cables with older Macs, and the Type-C port is based on industry standard specifications as defined by the USB Implementers Forum.
Many USB Type-C peripherals are on their way, including a storage drive from Lacie, and flash drives from Emtec and SanDisk.
Standard USB Type-C cables have the same connector on both ends, which wasn’t the case older USB cables. Some cables now being sold allow the MacBook to hook up via the Type-C port to monitors with HDMI and DisplayPort monitors, and to older peripherals with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports.
A number of third-party Type-C cables are available from Monoprice and Belkin. Even cheaper ones are on sale through Amazon.
Apple is selling a US$19 USB Type-C to USB adapter, a $29 two-meter charging cable, a $49 Type-C power adapter, and a $79 USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter with HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB Type-C ports.
