140W USB-C PD / GaN charger

A 140W USB-C Power Delivery charger is Apple’s recommended adapter for 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021 or later). It is above USB PD 3.0’s 100W (20V/5A) ceiling: the 140W contract is PD 3.1 (28V/5A). Pair it with the right cable — an e-marked / 240W-labeled USB-C cable, or Apple’s MagSafe 3 140W cable.

Apple recommends a 140W USB-C Power Adapter with a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable for 16-inch MacBook Pro models introduced in 2021 or later. Fast charge for that size is listed with the 140W adapter (and, for Nov 2023 or later 16-inch units, a 240W USB-C charge cable as an alternate cable). 14-inch Pros can also fast charge from 140W, but their recommended adapters are 67W / 70W / 96W. A generic 100W GaN brick will still charge a 16″ Pro over USB-C PD, per Apple’s “higher or lower wattage” note — it is not the recommended 140W pack.

Who it fits

Laptop classes from manufacturer wattage tables (prices re-checked 4 Sep 2026; wattage sources accessed 3 Sep 2026), not a scraped comparison chart:

• Laptop 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021 or later) Adapter 140W USB-C recommended, with USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable Why Matches Apple 109509. Fast charge listed with 140W + MagSafe 3, or 140W + 240W USB-C Charge Cable on 16-inch units from Nov 2023 (102378).
• Laptop 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021 or later) Adapter 67W, 70W, or 96W USB-C; fast charge with 96W+ or 140W (Apple 102378) Why Above the recommended 67W/70W/96W. Apple lists 140W as a fast-charge source for this size. Not required if you already have 96W.
• Laptop MacBook Air (2022 or later), including M2 Adapter 30W / 35W included; 67W / 70W recommended options; fast charge also listed with 140W Why Well above the included adapter. Apple 102378 lists 140W + MagSafe 3 or USB-C charge cable as a fast-charge combination for Air (2022 or later).
• Laptop Dell XPS 13 (45W / 60W / 65W manuals) Adapter 45W, 60W, or 65W USB Type-C by model Why Above the XPS 13 adapter tables. Use USB PD; Dell may cap non-Dell adapters in BIOS — see Dell KB 000226078.
• Laptop HP standard USB-C laptops (Envy / Pavilion / EliteBook class) Adapter 65W USB-C typical; HP says a higher-watt USB-C PD charger is safe Why Above 65W. HP 110W is a separate HP SKU class. The laptop draws what it needs.

Anker Charger (140W, 4-Port, PD 3.1) A2697 publishes 140W on USB-C1 or USB-C2 when used alone (28V⎓5A); two USB-C ports split 70W + 70W. Plug the 16″ Pro into C1 or C2, not C3 (40W max).

Cable: e-marked 240W USB-C or MagSafe 3 140W

140W USB-C PD needs the right cable. USB PD 3.0 tops out at 100W (20V × 5A). 140W is a PD 3.1 Extended Power Range contract (28V × 5A). That still needs a 5A e-marked cable. USB-IF labels certified USB-C to USB-C cables as 60W (3A) or 240W (5A). A 60W-marked cable will cap you well below 140W.

Apple’s own options, from Support 102378:

• USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable with the 140W USB-C Power Adapter — recommended for 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021 or later), and listed for fast charge on Air and 14-inch Pro too.
• 240W USB-C Charge Cable with the 140W adapter — listed as an alternate for MacBook Pro (16-inch, Nov 2023) or later.

Do not reuse a 60W (3A) USB-C cable and expect 140W. Anker’s 140W listing uses 28V⎓5A on C1/C2; pair it with a 240W-labeled USB-C cable. See how to pick.
