BlackVue USBC-3P USB-C Power Cable

Power a supported BlackVue dash cam from a compatible USB-C PD 3.0 port with the USBC-3P cable. The 4.5m (14.76ft) lead connects USB-C power to the camera’s DC input, making it useful when your vehicle has a suitable USB-C outlet instead of a cigarette-lighter socket.

Check the power source as well as the camera

A USB-C socket’s shape alone does not confirm compatibility. Check that the source supports Power Delivery 3.0 and the cable’s required power output. The USBC-3P is rated for a maximum 12V, 3A (36W) output.

The cable supports BlackVue Elite 8, Elite 9 and Elite 10, plus the listed DR970X Plus, DR970X LTE Plus, DR770X, DR770X LTE and DR590X families. The BlackVue Elite 8 2CH is one compatible example. This is a power lead for BlackVue cameras, not a USB data-transfer cable or a universal dash cam adapter.

Plan a separate power connection for parking recording

BlackVue’s installation instructions do not support parking mode through this USB-C connection. For parking recording, use the compatible BlackVue hardwire cable or a dedicated option such as the BlackVue B-130A dash cam battery pack, with the correct camera power cable and settings.

Do not leave an ordinary phone power bank powering a camera in a parked vehicle. Those batteries are generally not intended for the temperatures a car can reach.

Measure the intended route before fitting the 4.5m cable. Keep it clear of controls and follow the vehicle’s trim and airbag-routing guidance. If a supported camera has no power or keeps rebooting, check the source and connections, then follow BlackVue’s firmware guidance for that exact model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will any USB-C port power the camera?

No. The power source must support USB-C PD 3.0 and the output needed by this cable. Check the vehicle or adapter specifications; a USB-C connector alone is not enough.

Does the cable support parking mode?

BlackVue’s installation instructions say parking mode is not supported with USB-C power. Choose a suitable hardwire or dedicated dash cam battery connection for parking recording.

Does it fit BlackVue Box cameras?

It does not fit DR970X Box Plus or DR770X Box. Other Box versions must be checked individually; do not assume that a family name or similar plug proves compatibility.

Can I use it with a DR900X or DR750X?

Those families are not on the current USBC-3P supported list. Confirm the exact model with support before ordering.

Why does my camera reboot or fail to power on?

First verify the PD source and secure cable connections. BlackVue also identifies firmware compatibility and multi-port adapters as possible causes. DR590X models may need a specific MICOM update; use the manufacturer’s instructions for your exact camera.

Does the camera always draw 36W?

No. The 36W figure is the cable’s maximum rated output at 12V and 3A. Actual consumption depends on the camera and its operation.

Can I leave a phone power bank in the car?

Do not use an ordinary consumer power bank as a permanent in-car parking power source. Choose equipment intended for vehicle temperatures and follow its installation instructions.

Does this include an adapter or transfer video files?

No. The package is one power cable. It does not include a USB-C power adapter, and it is not a recording-transfer cable.

What warranty coverage applies?

This accessory has a two-year BlackVue manufacturer warranty, which BlackboxMyCar honors. Our default retailer coverage is six months unless otherwise stated; it does not shorten this product’s two-year manufacturer coverage.

All good

Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear the USB-C power cable is working well for your setup.

USB-C connector

First of all, great response and shipping time, as always, from BBMC!

That cable has a flimsy USB-C connector. Depending of your setup, if you need to unplug & plug regularly, the plastic enclosure around the connector breaks easily. Aim for a permanent connection setup.

Thanks for your feedback, Pascal. We appreciate the kind words about our response and shipping time.

This cable is intended more for a fixed installation rather than frequent plugging and unplugging. That said, the connector should still hold up under normal use, so we’re sorry to hear it did not meet expectations in your setup. If you need any assistance or would like us to take a closer look, please feel free to reach out to our team.

Does it work with Thinkware U1000? thanks

BlackboxMyCar Canada

No, it only works with BlackVue cameras. If your vehicle doesn't have a cigarette lighter and you still want to set up your U1000 without hardwiring, the IROAD OBD-II IM-300 cable is fully compatible as long as your vehicle has a standard OBD-II port.
