charginghardwaremacbook promagsafepower

My MacBook 2015's MagSafe charger has two attachments for plugging it into the wall:

  1. a simple plug, which slides/snaps onto the charging block
  2. a loooong cable, one end of which can slide into the charging block and the other end has a plug on it for going into the wall

I would like to know the name of the second attachment.

The cable in question (pun intended) is called Power Adapter Extension Cable.

Overview

The 1.8-meter Power Adapter Extension Cable is an AC extension cord that provides extra length for your Apple power adapter. Use it with MagSafe and MagSafe 2 power adapters, 10W and 12W USB-A power adapters, and 29W, 30W, 61W, and 96W USB-C power adapters.
