Longer charging cable for 2020 MacBook Air?
Jun 8, 2009
Is there a reason Apple doesn't offer a longer cable to charge the 2020 MBA? And is there any reason a third party USB-C to USB-C wouldn't work well? I thought I read some stuff about data transfers in longer cables, but didn't know if that also impacted charging ability. This 2 meter cable just isn't cutting it for me.

I think the issue is data transfer limitations of Thunderbolt 4. From what I found, it is limited to 6.5 feet without a considerably more expensive cable.
Charging wise. You should be able to use any USB-C rated for the wattage of your charger or higher. Although, I'd stick with a good brand. Such as Anker or Monoprice. It just won't be good for something like a Thunderbolt dock.

They do.
If you’re talking about a long USB-C cable, you’re not supposed to do that. Long cables quickly attenuate DC voltage and data speeds.
