While few may answer with correct information, further headway

may be gained by looking into source manuals or guides of info.

If your Mac identifies as 2020+ MacBook Pro17,1 (M1), you've seen:

Tech Specs: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)

User Guide: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)

• Welcome to MacBook Pro Essentials - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/macbook-pro/welcome/mac

• MacBook Pro Essentials - [Table of Contents] - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/macbook-pro/toc

You can also download the guide from Apple Books (where available).

If you need more help, visit the MacBook Pro Support website.

In the Apple store pages online, some cables &/or adapters are listed.

There is a compatibility with thunderbolt3 and 4, with name change.

Other details I've not kept up with since mine are older models. When

my reply began here, there weren't others at that time. ~ Good luck!

Thank you. Silhouette Cameo 1 cutting machine does not bypass an adapter, so I was hoping there is a cable USB 2.0 Type B to Type C. So far, no luck. I will need to contact Silhouette company and ask for assistance. Thanks for your reply!
