Hi,

Do I need to look for specific cables when I'm searching for longer USB-C Macbook Pro 16" charging cables?

Is there any benefit purchasing the Power Adapter Extension Cable vs. just a longer USB-C cable?

I want to purchase a 10 ft (3m) cable, but not sure if I need to look for specific cables since the charger of the 16" has higher W than others.

Are any of these a good buy?

OR:


Thanks

I have the first one, the uni. been using it for about a week and it seems to work the same as the one Apple supplied with the computer, I did a comparison using both cables, and did not see any difference, when viewing via Coconut Battery, iStat Menu, or power in about this Mac.

Thanks. I ended up picking up this one:

They don't ship the first one to my country. The second one has many bad reviews on its durability.
