![]() We are going to improve the support of the wire where it exits the power brick, this will reduce, wear and tear. You will need a knife, some electrical tape, and wooden matchsticks or toothpicks. You can use this for pretty much any fragile cable though, as it would work well and add support to the wire. This method reinforces the cable coming out of the MacBook charger. Learn How to Protect the MacBook Charger Cable using the match stick method.

In addition to Apple’s official guide to protecting the MacBook Charger Cable, there are three other hacks. This led me to think and I found a few hacks that can be used to save these charger cables from breaking so easily.Īfter having reviewed Apple’s official documents and having referred to credible sources my team and I found that: There have been so many times I have been left scrambling for a charger when all of sudden the cable just breaks. And it is not cheap to replace these cables either as you have to replace the whole charger itself, unlike a USB cable. I can’t tell you how frustrated I have been after breaking these cables even under normal usage. A thicker cable like the ones in most other laptops would have never caused this issue, yet Apple chose form over function here. These cables are thin and weak, they break very easily at the connecting ends. So, How to Protect the MacBook Charger Cable? Read on to Find out! It is such a small and basic thing but somehow Apple messed it up. ![]() ![]() I am talking about the cables that come attached to their MacBook chargers. Get it fixed to prevent serious damage to electronic components or starting a fire as opposed to getting electrocuted.Apple sometimes does some weird stuff, and I don’t understand how the biggest company could get the smallest of stuff wrong. The bottom line - An Apple genuine power adapter with a damaged and exposed wire should be fixed but isn't a safety hazard. Third party knock off adapters - some of these fail and are criminal negligence-level bad and unsafe. On Apple products this is basically unheard of due to multiple failsafe, monitoring and the design and manufacture of the adapter. ![]() If the transformer section that separates the high and low voltage size is compromised or broken then the high voltage could get past into the low voltage side.Fire risk - the frayed cord and current levels are enough to start a fire in the right circumstances.If you have a a pacemaker or other medical device or heart condition - any electricity could in rare circumstances cause you problems - check with your doctor on this.You will get a shock, but it won't be dangerous except in three cases: If it's on the cable on the MagSafe side (above right image), then you are only dealing with voltage of no more than 18V (DC). There is enough voltage and amperes here to electrocute you. If it's on the "mains" side (below left image) you could potentially be hit with a 110V or 220V (AC) electrical charge (US, Canada and the rest of the world respectively). ![]()
