Which charger do I need for my ipad air?

I can not figure out which charger I need for my new ipad air. I bought a USB-c cube and USB-c Lightning Cable. It does not work.

Help!

I'm confused -- the new iPad Air comes with a cable and power adapter --see the following from the What's in the Box section Buy iPad Air - Apple

  • 10.9-inch iPad Air
  • USB-C Charge Cable
  • 20W USB-C Power Adapter


Note that the cable is USB-C to USB-C (not Lightning) and the charger is the following: Buy 20W USB-C Power Adapter - Apple

and a cable is USB-C Charge Cable (2 m) - Apple


The previous generation iPad Air came with a USB to Lightning cable and a 12W charger but you can use any charger including the above 20W and a USB-C to Lightning cable with it.
