Mar 23, 2015 8:25 PM in response to srmaltaby K Shaffer,★HelpfulThose parts generally have random non-matching numbers, since
not every charger was equipped with the long extension wire set.
If you had an invoice from the purchase of the MagSafe adapter
there may be some other way to identify it in addition to model #
or specification listed on the item. In my opinion, that probably
would not be enough information to identify your adapter from
any probable use of the extension wire by itself. For my Mac
gear, I have 3 or 4 spare long cords just like that one, and they
do not appear to have an identifier for the end product, on any.
The extension cable is also used for AirPort Express and many
Apple portable computer power adapters, even PowerBook &
iBook, use the same cord on the AC input side of adapters.

You may inquire of a retail Apple Store, and ask what MagSafe
adapter would match the number you see on the cord, however
that probably would not be a serial number for a MagSafe, also.
So basically I'm saying, even though the wire may matchup with
use with a MagSafe adapter, the numbers on it may not match
a serial number on the adapter itself. In some instances the wire
involved is supplied by a different maker than the adaper.
Depending on where you are located, a replacement MagSafe
adapter may be available at less than full retail, for authentic part.
Sometimes macsales.com has authentic Apple models discounted.
See examples of macbook magsafe replacement adapters, here:

Be sure to match the power specs, model version, display type to
the replacement adapter; you can get a higher output adapter to
work in place of a lower power one, but not the other way around.
The retail Apple Store sales specialist could probably tell you if the
identifier numbers on the cable you have might have serial number
implications, to match an specific adapter stolen from you. I doubt it.
Good luck & happy computing!
