The 60W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter uses a magnetic DC connector, so the cable can safely disconnect if tripped over and your MacBook Pro won't fall over. It also helps prevent cable fraying. The magnetic DC connector also helps connect the plug to the laptop for a quick and secure connection.
When the connection is secure, the LED on the DC connector head lights up. The amber light indicates the laptop is charging, and the green light indicates the battery is charged. An AC cable is included with the adapter for extended length, and the AC power supply (also included) makes it easy to carry.
