new MacBook adapter/USB port question

I've got a 2023 16" MacBook Pro after using an ancient 2012 13" MacBook Pro. What cable/adapter to I need to enable using my Wacom tablet? I don't really understand any of the terminology, such as Thunderbolt/USB-C. I think I need a USB-C cable, but I don't know!

Also will my very old Wacom & pen tool still work with my new MacBook if I get an adapter? Thanks

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.2

one of the most common adapter is the USBC to USB USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple

if it suits your needs.


It is the only adapter I have and use with the 2019 MBP16,1 —but I do not do Wacom...(?)
