Power cord for Apple 27 Thunderbolt display?

Apple no longer manufactures the 27 inch Thunderbolt Display Monitor, but does Apple sell replacement power cords for the unit?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Well, I don't really know. Are they all the same? I have no idea. I spent two hours on the phone with two people at Apple, and they couldn't tell me either after keeping me on hold for eternity and then suggesting I call AppleCare. The Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display is model A1407.

Can't believe this simple question is so difficult for them.

I also am looking for the thunderbolt and magsafe cables.

I was preferring to buy Apple branded cables to be sure of quality.

Isn't it a standard Apple Power cable?

One would think perishable accessory items like power cords might be an obvious exception!

We have different views of Apple's quality.

Look at the socket on the Monitor, does it look like this would fit?

Is that the only criteria, or are there other criteria to consider? Is the cord the same part number?

That's all there is really. Of course there are part numbers, but I don't think they matter in this situation.

Ok. Thanks. What about replacing frayed thunderbolt and MagSafe connectors?

ASC didn't like the full eBay URL !?

Yes, and I’ve seen third party ones advertised, but wanted to be sure of quality. None of this answers why I can’t get this basic info from Apple.

Apple doesn't keep old stuff around, anything over 7 years they bury or recycle the parts, not sure which.
