Can I still use this usb c cable?

[Fake account]

I have the problem of overthinking and anxiety. I dropped my MacBook Pro type c cable. I didn't see it touch the ground but heard the sound of it touching the ground. I don't know if it was the plastic end that touched it or the exposed metal charging point. I'm scared it was the latter and now the pins could be damaged and it might get shorted and destroy my MacBook during charging. Drop was from around 5ft height. What are the chances that the pins are now damaged and will cause a short circuit and destroy my MacBook in the future. It still charges the Mac. It is a 2m C to C cable

Thanks for giving me your valuable time

The cable is probably fine, there's not enough weight in a cable to cause significant damage regardless of how it impacts. Unless it happened to perfectly land in a small spike from terminal velocity that inserted into the end, then its unlikely that its damaged.

 

If you're worried though, I'd get a young priest and an old priest to perform an exorcist on the cable, just in case.
