Unable to connect ADB to Android Marshmallow (6.0.1)

I'm on a MacBook running macOS Sierra and I'm having trouble connecting Android Studio to the phone. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) running the latest update - Android 6.0.1.

I've tried listing the devices using the command adb devices, but the list is empty.

When I connect the device I can hear a tone and the phone is charging. I do not get a notification when connecting the device, hence trying to tap on the notification and somehow forcing an MTP connection is impossible.

I've already activated the Developer Options and the USB configuration mode is set to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). When trying to cycle through the available USB modes, if the phone is connected to the computer, it always reverts back to MTP automatically.

Trying to turn off and back on the USB debugging, or the Developer options didn't work. Also restarted both the phone and the computer but nothing changed.

Does anyone have a clue of what is going on? From my research, the only thing that seems to have worked for other people is to tap the notification that is supposed to appear when I connect the phone to the computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I presume that the cable is broken or just plainly wrong. Changing the cable should help.
