I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 16” that came with the 96w USB-C Power Adaptor. The original USB-C cable has frayed & I need to order a replacement. What wattage “cable” do I need to order?
MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)
Anything large than 96 watts. I believe this is the only one Apple currently offers and it is listed as compatible in the Compatibility section of this link: 240W USB-C Charge Cable (2 m) - Apple

Until the recent 240 Watt cables, USB-C charging capacity for cables that provide charging was a default 60 watts, or for premium cables, 100 watts.
The higher the wattage supported, the faster it COULD potentially charge. The 16-in with 140 Watt charger is capable of Fast Charging on a MagSafe connection (because that cable has higher than 100 Watt capability) and we expect it can now Fast Charge on the 240 Watt cable, but there has been no user discussion Pro or Con posted here as yet.
Thanks so much for responding. I’ll go ahead & use the 240W USB-C Cable I ordered & received late last night since it’s larger than the 96W power adapter.
