Description

The Arducam CB012 is a purpose-built extension cable that solves the physical layout challenges common in Raspberry Pi-based vision and display projects. Its 100cm flexible flat cable (FFC) construction allows developers and makers to position camera sensors or screens at optimal locations away from the main board, facilitating cleaner builds in enclosures, 3D printers, or remote monitoring stations.

Engineered with a standard 15-pin, 1.0mm pitch interface, this cable ensures reliable signal integrity over its extended length, maintaining compatibility with the Raspberry Pi’s CSI (Camera Serial Interface) and DSI (Display Serial Interface) ports. The plug-and-play design eliminates the need for signal boosters or modifications, making it an essential accessory for projects like OctoPrint, home security systems, portable displays, and any application requiring flexible component placement.

Key Features

  • 100cm (3.28ft) long flexible flat cable (FFC) for extended component placement.
  • Standard 15-pin, 1.0mm pitch interface matches Raspberry Pi CSI/DSI connectors.
  • Plug-and-play operation with no soldering, drivers, or configuration required.
  • Compatible with all Raspberry Pi models in the A and B series (e.g., Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi Zero).
  • Supports both official Raspberry Pi Camera Modules and Display Modules.
  • Sleek black finish for discreet integration into professional or consumer builds.
  • Flexible and thin profile (0.2mm thickness) for easy routing in tight spaces.
  • Ideal for extending camera reach in 3D printer monitoring, surveillance, or portable display projects.

Applications

  • Extending Raspberry Pi camera modules for 3D printer monitoring (e.g., OctoPrint).
  • Home surveillance and security systems requiring flexible camera positioning.
  • Portable or embedded display projects where the screen must be mounted separately from the Pi.
  • Custom robotics and drone builds where the vision sensor needs remote mounting.
  • Educational and prototyping setups requiring adaptable component layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arducam CB012 cable compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero?

Yes, the Arducam CB012 is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero models, as they are part of the Raspberry Pi A/B series. The 15-pin, 1.0mm pitch connector is standard across these boards for the Camera Serial Interface (CSI). You may need a small adapter or careful alignment due to the Pi Zero's smaller footprint, but the electrical interface is identical. It supports both camera and display modules on the Pi Zero.

Can I use this cable with third-party camera modules, or only official Raspberry Pi cameras?

This cable is designed for the standard Raspberry Pi 15-pin CSI interface. It will work with any third-party camera module that uses this exact physical connector and pinout, such as many Arducam models. However, you must verify the third-party module's compatibility with the Pi's CSI hardware and software drivers. It is guaranteed to work with official Raspberry Pi Camera Modules (like the Pi Camera Module V2) without any issues.

What is the maximum reliable length for a Raspberry Pi camera cable? Does signal degrade at 100cm?

The Raspberry Pi specifies a maximum cable length for reliable operation, typically around 200mm for high-speed signals. This 100cm (1m) cable exceeds that specification, which may introduce signal integrity issues like noise or frame drops, especially at higher resolutions. It is best used for applications where maximum frame rate is not critical. For stable performance over long distances, consider using an active extension solution or placing the Pi closer to the sensor.
