I'd like to use my newer MacBook Pro (MagSafe 3) at my office where we have many older apple monitors that have the MagSafe and USB-C cables attached. I don't want to have to carry my charger around with me. Is there an adapter I can use to POWER / charge my laptop from this cable?
The charging protocol required for MagSafe-3 has COMPLETELY changed, and is not compatible with older MagSafe inputs.
Most recent MacBook Pro can charge from any USB-C Native device that features USB-C Power delivery, such as recent Displays and powered Docks. But NOT from older displays.
I suggest you buy another power adapter, or maybe a powered Dock, charge the cost to the Office, and keep it at the office so you won't have to carry it home and back.
