The size applicable to MacBook charging cables is usually the biggest one found in most wire strippers, unless the tool doubles as Cable Slitter, with allows for bigger diameter cables, such as fiber optics, networking cables or power cords from large appliances. Most wire strippers will feature a number of different size slots that will accommodate the right type of cable. Stripping a cable requires a hand-held clamp-like tool called the Wire Stripper. It’s recommended to use some throwaway cable for practice, before dealing with the actual MacBook charging cable. The following instructions apply to most electrical cable.

When poured over a surface, the contact with the air will turn the product into a rubbery solid block, similar to Latex, which will still allow a certain degree of flexibility. It comes in liquid form, inside a sealed container. If your charger still works, but the plastic around the wires is cracked, or starting to show signs of wear, the easiest way to prevent further damage to the cable, requires purchasing what is known as “liquid electrical tape”, a product typically found in hobby or hardware stores.Ī liquid electrical tape works in the same way as sealing resin or caulk. If Apple Care is not an option, and your MacBook is no longer under warranty, there are ways to restore a broken charger back to working conditions, without a degree in electrical engineering. If your MacBook is less than a year old, or if you have Apple Care+, the least painful way to fix a broken charger, is to have it replaced, at no cost, by Apple.
