iMac Power Cable

Can I use a very old power cable for my iMac? It fits and everything and didn’t cause a problem last time I used it but I’m wondering if it causes any damage to it?

M1 iMac cable I recently purchased the 24" M1 iMac. I used it for work, and forgot to pack the power cable. I had it couriered, but the courier company has lost it. I have scoured the internet to try and buy a replacement, but it seems like this new power cable type isn't available independently yet, and I cannot use the computer to access / continue with my work without one. Is there any information that I am unaware of on how to source a replacement cable? I am based in The Netherlands.

There is no reason not to use it. If the connecters all fit, then it will work.
