This video provides a technical overview of the different video cables used to connect BlackVue front and rear dash cams. We explain the functional roles of these cables—both in delivering power and transmitting data—and clarify which cable types correspond with specific dash cam series.

While many BlackVue models have utilized the 3Gbps coaxial standard for over a decade, the launch of the ELITE Series introduced a new 6Gbps cable designed to handle higher resolutions like QHD and 4K.
We will show you how to identify these cables and explain why using the correct version is essential for maintaining signal integrity in newer models.

Key Takeaways:

► One Cable, Two Jobs: Your video cable doesn’t just send data; it also provides power to your rear or interior camera, eliminating the need for a second power source.

► Coaxial Advantage: Standard on most BlackVue models for 10+ years, coaxial cables offer better shielding and higher fidelity compared to analog TRRS connectors.

► Fighting Interference: Signal attenuation and EMI/RFI can ruin your footage. We discuss how physical damage and cable length affect your video quality.

► The ELITE Series Upgrade: To support 4K and QHD HDR rear cameras, BlackVue has introduced the 6Gbps cable. If you are upgrading to an ELITE model, using this specific cable is essential for maintaining signal integrity.

*Note to Upgraders:* If you are moving from an older BlackVue to a new ELITE Series model, look for the “6” embossed on the front camera connector to ensure you’re getting the maximum 6Gbps bandwidth for your high-res footage!
